Additionally, ACE! allows you to print details of these save games. Initially, you can edit the save games from 'Bard's Tale', 'Doom' (1, 2 and Ultimate), 'Escape Velocity', 'Foobar vs the DEA', 'Harry the Handsome Executive', 'Heroes of Might & Magic', 'King's Bounty', 'Mantra' (1 and 2), 'Marathon' (1, 2, Infinity, Excalibur and Evil), 'Might and Magic' (1, 2 and 3), 'Omega' (version 0.75 and 0.80), 'Pathways into Darkness', 'Realmz' (4 and 5), 'Ultima III', 'Unlimited Adventures' (design passwords and characters), 'Wizardry Gold' and 'Yipe! III'. However, ACE! can be extended to edit other save games through the use of plug-in 'modules'. ACE! is freeware. ACE! will run on any Macintosh or MacOS compatible computer. It requires System 7.0 or higher, 350k of disc space, and 384k of free RAM (prefered 1500k). ACE! is distributed as a fat binary, meaning that it runs native on both 68k and PPC processors. Version 1.3 adds new modules and new features to existing modules, including tabbed windows, and increases the maximum number of open windows to 40.

Guitar Tuner uses a visual metaphor which mimics an handheld electronic tuner, and plays the 6 notes of the guitar at standard tuning. The notes were recorded into a PowerMac from a Martin acoustic tuned A=3D440 with a quartz tuner. Because the notes are guitar pitches, rather than digitally generated pitches, they may be easier to use since they share a common tonality and timbre. Instructions: 1) Select the tuning you need from the file menu. The default is standard tuning. 2) Click on the radio note below the note you wish to hear. Ain't that easy? Enjoy! Revision History: 1) Version 2.0 adds 3 popular alternate, otherwise known as open or modal tunings. These are Open D (DADF#AD), Open G (DGDGBD) and DADGAD, a very common Celtic tuning. Open D and Open G are blues tunings, but Open G is occasionally used in Celtic music. 2) Created longer note duration. - Lisa Gade [Archived as /info-mac/gst/guitar-tuner.hqx; 445K] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 May 1998 15:04:41 -0700 From: royerm@icanect.net Subject: [*] Harlequin Kaleidoscope scheme Please add Harlequin for Kaleidoscope to your recent additions page.

A syllogism as (mis)defined here is a (possibly empty) set of numbered premises. No term may occur more than twice. Exactly two terms must occur exactly once: these are the two 'end' terms, which will appear in the conclusion. Furthermore, each premise must have exactly one term in common with its successor, for some ordering of the premises. Example 10 Socrates is a Greek 20 All men are mortal 30 All Greeks are men 40 No gods are mortal Syllogism will draw a conclusion from such a list, if possible, or test a conclusion of yours. Reference: H. Gensler, 'A Simplified Decision Procedure for Categorical Syllogisms,' Notre Dame J of Formal Logic 14 (1973) 457-466 Syllogism was written by Richard Sharvy in 1987 or so (he died in 1988). It is written in generic BASIC. I came across a cheapo BASIC compiler for the Mac (Microsoft QuickBasic) a few years later, and compiled the source code as is. The interface style of that Mac application is strict terminal emulation. The source code should be compilable by any BASIC compiler, regardless of platform; it can be downloaded from http://www.efn.org/~bsharvy/crunchy.html [Archived as /info-mac/sci/syllogis-com.hqx; 74K] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 May 1998 15:44:02 -0700 From: greg@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz Subject: [*] WolfEdit 2.0 1st/2nd Encounter Patch, version 2 This is a modification for WolfEdit 2.0 to allow creation of scenarios for the 1st and 2nd Encounter versions of Wolfenstein 3D.

I have Cu-SeeMe 3.1 installed on my Mac. As I understand it, I can communicate only with other Macs and Windows machines also running Cu-SeeMe. Can I use Cu-SeeMe to communicate with hosts running other videoconferencing software? If so, do I need to acquire some additional special software? I've looked into the new ClearPhone product and I found that it would allow communications only with other ClearPhone installations. Do I have that right? Is there any "modern" software for the Mac that is more interoperable, i.e. allowing communications with other products on Macs, Windows, and Unix platforms? Thanks for your help!

RealPlayer multitasks very poorly (well, perhaps that should be "MacOS multitasks very poorly, and RealPlayer has no cunning magic in it to try to work around that problem"). There are several issues about the 1400 too, one of which is that it uses PIO disk transfer; therefore, all foreground processing stops while any disk activity is going on. Add to that the generally huge multitasking overhead faced by any MacOS application, and the general rule emerges: don't try to interact with the machine at all while RealPlayer is playing, if you want optimal audio quality. In other words, if you hit a page that has some RA links on it, wait for the ENTIRE page to load (Netscape/MSIE animation stops), preferably make sure you have Java disabled so there won't be any applets dancing about, and THEN click the RA link. While the file is playing, don't touch the TrackPad or keyboard. All this goes double if you have virtual memory enabled. One other thing you can try, if the site is configured humanely (mine is, for instance, for this reason) - save the file to disk rather than playing it online. BTW, I am fairly sure the long startup and even longer exit delay on RealPlayer is something to do with the program trying to contact Progressive Networks via a TCP/IP link to check if there's a new version of the software, upload registration information to put you on their spamlist, etc... -- Lewin A.R.W.

I have a Quadra running system 7.6.1, and it used to be networked to another machine, with appleshare set to automatically connect to that machine at startup. Now when the Quadra is started up, it pops up the standard appleshare connection dialog box at startup (with the username/password info etc.), and you must click either the cancel or okay button 5 times before it goes away.

I (and most likely some of you) have downloaded MIDI files. On the Mac, the most efficient way to play them is to convert them to QT Movies and use QT Musical Intruments.

I had no need for the standard MIDI files so I deleted them. I am setting up a best-of-midi web site---200 QT Movies are useless. I need a way (or program) to convert QT-->MIDI.

I've dusted off the old MacII (that's right, '020, 8mb ram, 120HD, PMMU, no superdrive so it only reads 800k floppies) and added an ethernet card in order to set up a po' boy's network here at home. The old machine will host some shared data (addresses, scheduling, that sort of thing) and perhaps eventually more stuff later on - but for now my goal is to try to get it to boot up and shut down at scheduled times, bracketing the normal usage times of all the other machines (2) on the LAN.

Shortly after I wrote this I determined that somehow my modem description file had been deleted and my connect script (what Apple calls a logon script) was corrupt. I have no idea how this happened, but I restored them from backups. Another good reason for frequent System Folder backups. I was able to restore everything by using Apple Guide help to step me through the process of creating a connect script. It's a handy way of reminding you what you need to connect with.
