Subject: [*] AutoClock 1.4.4
Equipment: Macintosh with modem
Needs: System 6.0.5 or later
Abstract:
AutoClock is an application and a system extension that maintains the
accuracy of your Macintosh clock. As a matter of fact, this clock has the
tendency to deviate from the correct time every day, and can accumulate
to minutes or dozens of minutes after one year, if not corrected.
The AutoClock application allows you to:
* Set the clock by calling a time server, if you have a modem,
* Set the clock manually from an accurate source (for example a voice
time server (303-499-7111) or the radio),
* Display a logbook of every clock change on your Macintosh, whether it
was done with AutoClock, or with another application (the General or Data
& Time control panels, or the Clock desk accessory for example),
* Compute the mean clock deviation of the Macintosh clock for a 24-hour
period, using data recorded in the logbook, and
* Display the date and time in almost any country of the world.
The system extension AutoClock Extension can:
*Periodically open the AutoClock application according to your schedule,
to perform an automatic clock adjustment by calling the time server,
without any user intervention,
* Keep the Macintosh clock continually correct, by adjusting it using the
computed mean clock deviation,
* Automatically adjust the clock for Daylight Saving Time, and
* Detect any clock changes done by any other programs, and record them in
the application's logbook.

C-Map was developed for educational use at Cornell University, but can be
used for many flowtcharting purposes. The included "Teach Yourself" doc in

This version of the program will not save a new (untitled) file with some
newer systems; starting a document from the enclosed template is the simple
solution.

Subject: [*] CapsBeep 1.0
CapsBeep is a control panel that improves the operation of the caps lock key.
The "Caps Lock Beep" option provides an unobtrusive warning signal whenever
the caps lock key has been activated, alerting users to the change.
CapsBeep offers users a choice of between one and three beeps as the
warning - and plans are already under way to offer custom sound option
alternatives to the standard system beep.
The "Shift Reverse" option allows the user to temporarily 'reverse' the
caps lock key by pressing the shift key to get lowercase characters.
System Requirements
* 68020 or better (including PowerPC)
* System 7 or Mac OS 8
(has not been tested with System 6)
CapsBeep is known to work with US keyboards, but is untested with others.

Subject: [*] Keep Trying 1.0.3
Keep Trying! is a utility for anyone who uses a phone.
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar?
* You're trying to phone your girl/boyfriend, but the line's always busy
because he/she is always using the phone or online?
* You're trying to get through to some company's technical support phone
number, but there's no answer because all their lines are in use?
* You finally get through on a call, but you're put on hold, and you end up
looking like Quasimodo because you spend a geological era holding the receiver
up to your ear with your shoulder while you try to get some work done at the
keyboard, listening endlessly to "Your call is important to us..."?
"Keep Trying!" is the solution. Keep Trying! (KT) is a utility for dialing
phone numbers through your modem. This in itself is not unique; some Address
Book programs and other utilities include such a feature. The distinguishing
features of KT, however, are the ways in which it removes the frustration of
"getting through" to a hard-to-reach party. If the number you're trying to
call is busy, or there is no answer, KT will automatically retry the number
repeatedly, at intervals you control. You can set how many attempts to make,
whether to retry after a busy signal or no-answer or both, and different wait
intervals for a busy signal and a no-answer. You don't even need to pick up
the phone until your call goes through successfully. You just leave KT running
in the background while you get on with your life; the program will
automatically (you guessed it) "keep trying!". Additionally, KT has a unique
"listen in" option that could literally save your neck the next time you're
put on hold for an indeterminate period. By activating this feature when
you're asked to "please stay on the line...", you can hang up the phone's
receiver and listen in on the line through your modem's speaker. You can then
go about your business in comfort until you hear a (non-recorded) person come
on the line.
Keep Trying! is a must-have, not only for people who make a lot of phone
calls, but for anyone who has ever suffered the frustration of making a
"simple telephone call".
Keep Trying is a joint production of programmer Karl Bunker and sound engineer
Larry Lloyd.
Minimum requirements: A Mac with a 68020 processor or better, System 7.1 or
later, a modem and a phone on the same line as the modem.
This is version 1.0.3 of Keep Trying! This version adds support for more types
of internal PowerBook modems, and can be used on systems with black & white
monitors.
Shareware; $10.00.

Keystone 1.3
(c) 1992-1998 Andy Burns
This is a small hypercard stack I wrote to help me manage the Pennsylvania
"Keystone Jackpot" Lottery. No color, no glitz, just performance.
You enter the games into a list and when the results are official enter
them in the winning numbers field. Then press START. Keystone will then
report which games are winners (pay $$$) and underline the matching numbers
for each game. A real time saver!
Keystone Jackpot Lottery is a 6 + 1 ball lottery. Six numbers being 1-33
and a 7th or "Keyball" number between 1-33. If there is interest in other
lotteries that use this format, perhaps with different ranges, please
e-mail me and I'll see what I can do. Please do not modify this stack.
Full on-line help is available. Version 1.3 adds error checking, as you'll
notice the first several times you press START. Fix 'em and then go!
You can click on "Official Winning Numbers" label to generate a random game
to run against your entries. WARNING: This can be depressing.
Please send me any bugs you find. I've been using it for years and haven't
found one. I haven't WON either. Hmmm...
This is freeware. Enjoy!

Subject: [*] NetFinder 1.2.1 [English]
NetFinder is an easy-to-use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client program
for Macintosh, PowerMacintosh, Macintosh PowerBook and MacOS-compatible
computers. NetFinder combines the ease of use of the Macintosh interface
with a powerful FTP engine. The result is a unique program that makes it
a breeze to get and store files on internet FTP sites. If you can use a
Mac, you can use this program!
Here are some of the features of NetFinder:
very easy to use Finder-like interface, including full Drag and Drop
support. download, upload, delete, rename and move files and folders as
easily as you would in the Finder. supports moving files to your Mac's
disk and moving files around on a FTP site - very handy for Webmasters
and Webmistresses! fully threaded operation for directory listings and
file/folder transfers. The benefits of this approach are that you wait
less and can do more at the same time - a valuable time-saving feature!
on-the-fly encoding and decoding of Binhex and MacBinary files - the
most popular file formats for storing Mac files on internet FTP sites.
Since files are decoded on-the-fly, you don't require as much hard disk
space. For example, an 8Mb binhex-encoded file will only require 6Mb of
hard disk space. the ability to save and open bookmarks of your
favourite FTP sites. Create bookmarks simply by dragging and dropping
files or folder. Double click bookmarks to quickly connect to your
favourite sites. directory listings are cached so you can navigate
quickly through often visited sites. And if the listing is stale, you
can easily get a fresh listing. can work with Internet Explorer or
Netscape Internet Config savvy (NetFinder can function without IC but it
works much better if IC is installed) supports a wide variety of FTP
servers. Works with all popular FTP server software like wu-ftp,
NetPresenz and Windows NT FTP server. customisable with a set of useful
preferences and last but not least, you can continue downloading a file
that has been partially downloaded instead of having to download the
entire file again. This works even if you quit NetFinder or your Mac
crashes and you have to restart! We call this "Partial File support".
It's very cool. ;-)

NoShift Needed by MyShare Publishing Co.
RDBow@Pitnet.net
What is it?
NoShift Needed=99 is a clever little program written with
SEVERAL people in mind. Say you only have one hand, arm, toe, or other
handicap (WHATEVER) to type with. It's for you. Or maybe your just LAZY.
It's for you too! It's also for you if you type a lot of email
addresses@WHEREVER. It's for you. If you have a habit of putting a lot of
things in (parentheses). It's for you. If you like to write in shorthand &
you use % 's a lot. It's for you. It's for you if your into $$$, or #'s or =
if
you end a lot of things with this! And lastly, if your into + 's and _ 's
it's for you also.
So what is it?? READ the NAME again!! You can
type the entire top numerical row and instead of=03123456789 - =3D you get: =
! @ #
$ % ^ & * ( ) _ + which are a lot more useful keys and when you need the
numbers 1234567890 simply use the numeric key pad on the right side of the
keyboard. Everything above in GREEN has been made WITHOUT stopping to hold
down the shift key!
*TRY IT! YOUR GONNA LOVE IT. And wonder how you ever got along without it!
'til now.*
REQUIREMENTS: NoShift Needed=99 works with any Mac running systems 7, or =
8.
System 7 has a "Hidden" feature that will allow you to change the keyboard
layout by using the ENCLOSED FREEWARE program Keyboard Menu v.1.0.0 by
Christoph Schaffhauser.

Pretty Scroll is a control panel that animates scrolling. When scrolling
through a document, it is sometimes hard to find the last
point you viewed, especially if it was located near the end of the
document. Pretty Scroll makes it easier. Because the scrolling
process is animated, you can follow the movement and find the last
point easily.
What's new in 1.0.4?
- Better User Experience -- User can choose to deactivate Pretty Scroll
while 'Live Scrolling'.
- Smooth Scrolling -- The minimum step can be changed, the lower the Min.
Step, the smoother the scrolling.

Subject: [*] SpotCheck1.0.1
GenieWorks, LLC announces the release of SpotCheck 1.0.1 for the
Macintosh. SpotCheck is a language-based editor that "knows" the Java
language. It is designed to help a Java programmer produce correct code
without relying on confusing and untimely feedback from a compiler.
Specifically, SpotCheck identifies syntax errors and semantic errors
(undefined names, type mismatches, etc.) -- those errors normally
returned by a compiler. This analysis is performed after each edit,
giving the programmer immediate feedback on errors.
Version 1.0.1 is an update that includes uniform support for all
versions of Metrowerks CodeWarrior, from release 9 through the Pro 2
release.

Subject: [*] StuffCM 1.2J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the StuffCM package.
StuffCM is a contextual menu plugin that works with Aladdin Systems'
StuffIt Engine. It can stuff, unstuff, convert, BinHex, segment and join
files directly in the Finder through the contextual menu commands. To
install StuffCM, drag it and StuffCM Control to your System Folder (they
will be routed to their respective folders inside the System Folder) and
restart your computer.
Check out MacUpdate's review of StuffCM
(http://www.macupdate.com/reviews/adam/stuffcm.html):
"StuffCM is such a sublime addition to the Mac OS, it's a wonder that
it's not built in."
1.2
- Added the segmenting stuff. I downloaded the latest StuffIt Engine SDK so
I don't get link errors anymore.
- Selecting multiple files that result from an operation now works. I had
to tell the Finder to "select" them, not "reveal" them.
- There's a French version! Thanks to Benjamin Vincent for the translation.
