Possible uses include screaming clocks, counted quarter-hour chimes (e.g., three backward bongs at :15 after, one backward bong at :45 after), nagging yourself (via AppleScripts), launching Netscape at 3 A.M. to drive your cat nuts, whining soulfully when someone else is using your computer, turning your house lights on or off (requires wiring and additional stuff not provided), doing things at startup or shutdown, listening to your ex's dead dog bark every now and then, and so forth. Hey, it's daemonic! Use your imagination! Requires System 7.5.5 or better. OS 8.5 requires version 1.0.2!

Simply type in the text, tell it what folder(s) or disk(s) to search, and it will find all files containing that text. This saves you having to open ten or more files to get hold of the one you're after, and FindText can work in the background, which means you can get on with something else rather than watching the progress bar crawl across the screen. If speed is important, try FindText. FindText can search the data- and/or resource-fork of your files. FindText needs System 7 or better and runs native both on the PowerMac and the 68020/030/040 Macs. FindText is fully compatible with Mac OS 8. Version 1.3.5 is a minor update.

Set the timer to remind you that your laundry will be done in 45 minutes. Use it to give yourself a coffee break in half an hour. Set it because you just put a pot of water on the stove and if you forget about it all the water will boil away and leave that nasty white stuff on the bottom of your pot. The FM Egg Timer is free, easy to use, nice to look at, incredibly handy, and free. Requirements: Apple's Control Strip control panel or a Control Strip clone such as Ammon Skidmore's Extensions Strip or Proteron's GoMac. What's new in 1.2: -- Added customizable alert sound and reminder message. -- Resolved issues with GoMac and Extensions Strip that would prevent the module's menu and dialogs from appearing. -- The timer should now function properly even if its parent folder is named something other than "Control Strip Modules" (this was causing problems on international systems). -- Added the Face application to handle modeless dialogs. -- Smoothed out a few cosmetic quirks.

The problem= arises if you want to reverse this operation (i.e. to restore umlauts in the text). Simple find-replace will not work as many words should remain unchanged. This module solves this problem by using the conversion dictionary so only the appropriate words will be converted. 'Restore Diacritic' is available from the Info-Mac mirrors.

Mac-HaBu: Mac-Habu ist eine Buchhaltung sowohl fr den Privatmann, der seine Finanzen besser im Griff haben will; als auch fr Vereine und kleine Betriebe, die nicht einen Tausender fr Ihre Buchhaltung ausgeben mchten. Speziell fr den Privatanwender finden sich einige interaktive Beispiele im Programm (Apple Guide). Neben verschiedenen Auswertungen (Jahresbersicht, G+V, Budget, Umsatzsteuer,...) bietet es auch eine graphische Aufbereitung der Daten. Neuerungen in Version 5.0: In dieser Version gibt es einige gravierende Neuerungen. "Mac-HaBu" verfgt nun ber eine Anlagen- und Offene Posten Buchhaltung. Diese beiden Features erweitern das Programm ber das normale Ma eines Updates hinaus. Deshalb mte ich das Update eigentlich kostenpflichtig machen. Dies mchte ich aber aus dem Sharewaregedanken heraus nicht tun. Deshalb habe ich mich entschlossen eine Plus-Version zu erschaffen. Diese ist identisch zur normalen Version, enthlt aber obige Features. Selbstverstndlich kann man jederzeit von der normalen Version auf die Plus-Version updaten. Ich glaube damit beiden Anwendergruppen die optimale Lsung zu bieten. Alle anderen Neuerungen sind (natrlich) auch fr die normale Version gltig. Diese kann, wie bisher, kostenlos upgedatet werden. In diesem Bereich wurde unter anderem eine Saldenliste eingefhrt. An vielen anderen Stellen wurden Fehler korrigiert, oder die Funktionalitt verbessert (z.B. Datensicherung). Ich mchte hier allen Anwendern fr Ihre Tips danken. Daneben wurden auch ein paar kleine Fehler behoben. Auch fr Mac-HaBu kommt der Euro. Auch wenn Sie in dieser Version noch nichts davon sehen, gibt es intern bereits erste Implementierungen. Ich habe mir eine sehr komfortable Lsung ausgedacht. Diese mu ich aber noch genau berprfen. Deshalb habe ich mich entschlossen dies erst in der nchsten Version freizuschalten. Diese kommt aber bis Ende des Jahres, so da Sie pnktlich zum 01.01.1998 auf den Euro umstellen knnen.

MiniCalendar is your ordinary Kaleidoscope savvy system calendar. Its main goal is to provide the user with a basic calendar for any month between January 1582 and December 29940. MiniCalendar is not designed to replace full function date books, rather it is designed to complement such programs. Programs such as Claris Organizer or Now Up-To-Date excel at managing appointments and dates, but are clumsy when it comes to looking up what day your birthday is going to fall on next year. MiniCalendar fills this niche nicely. Since MiniCalendar is small and easy enough to use, you will want to leave it running so you will always have access to a calendar. As you'd expect from Catara, MiniCalendar is robust, 100% PowerPC native, easy to use, and efficient. For $5 shareware, it makes a nice addition to MacOS 8.x. Who will use MiniCalendar? - Users who need to look up dates, but do not need a full scale date book - Kaleidoscope / Aaron users who want a more unified system appearance - Users who want to show off to their PC friends that the Mac is not only year 2000 compliant but year 29940 compliant! - Or anyone who needs quick access to a calendar New in Version 2.1 - MacOS 8.5 Compatable - Better Support for Kaleidoscope. - The calendar can be drawn with the week starting on Monday. - Various other improvements and bug fixes - Removed support for the now defunct Better Beeps.

Sherlock is cool but when you have plenty of plug-ins in the Internet Search Sites folder, it's a mess to look for the appropiate sites to check. It's freeware, please spread the word!. To create or modify sets: - Launch SherlockSets - Select "Edit sets" from the "Sets" menu - Create, delete or edit sets.

This preview version replaces a wide selection of various System icons with Mac OS 8-like ones (including the "Welcome to Macintosh," "Finder," Apple Guide "?", "System Folder," and "System" icons). Version 1.1 installs a menu bar Finder icon more true to the Mac OS 8 style, and replaces window header "trash can," "suitcase," "locked disk," and "locked file" icons with Mac OS 8-style ones. The full version of System 8-er removes all "$," replaces additional icons within Kaleidoscope and Aaron, and even brings the System 7 Finder's "trash can," "suitcase," "locked disk," and "locked file" window header icons closer to style of Mac OS 8. System 8-er updates resources in the Finder and System files. It is strongly recommended that you start your Macintosh (or compatible) from an alternate startup disk (other than your main hard drive) before using any such updater. Version 1.2 remembers to include the "Register" application (OOPS!). Purchase of System 8-er for $5 removes all "$"s, and entitles purchasers to ALL future updates.
