Great for those working on Y2K conversion projects and for those that are just curious. Separate README file has contact info and more detail. Program is freeware. Minor improvements to calculations. Jerry, gave me a lesson about what the millenium is in gregorian calendar terms so the word millenium has been replaced by simply Year 2000 in the documentation. This is version 1.0.2 and it replaces 1.0.1.

ComparaDocs Pro features advanced and customizable report viewing, support for all major word processing and document formats, native execution and integration, plus speed enhancements and additional intelligent-components in the comparison algorithm.

PPC instruction set overview needed The Comp.Sys.Mac.Programmer Digest is moderated by Mark Aiken (marka@ee.mcgill.ca). The digest is a collection of article threads from the internet newsgroups comp.sys.mac.programmer.help, csmp.tools, csmp.misc and csmp.games. It is designed for people who read news semi-regularly and want an archive of the discussions. If you don't know what a newsgroup is, you probably don't have access to it. Ask your systems administrator(s) for details. If you don't have access to news, you may still be able to post messages to the group by using a mail server like anon.penet.fi (mail help@anon.penet.fi for more information). Each issue of the digest contains one or more sets of articles (called threads), with each set corresponding to a 'discussion' of a particular subject. The articles are not edited; all articles included in this digest are in their original posted form (as received by our news server at ee.mcgill.ca). Article threads are not added to the digest until the last article added to the thread is at least two weeks old (this is to ensure that the thread is dead before adding it to the digest). Article threads that consist of only one message are generally not included in the digest. The digests can be obtained by email, ftp or through the World Wide Web. If you want to receive the digest by mail, send email to majordomo@ee.mcgill.ca with no subject and one of the following commands as body: help Sends you a summary of commands subscribe csmp Adds you to the mailing list [Archived as /info-mac/per/csmp/csmp-digest-vol-4-053.txt; 79K] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 16:01:15 -0700 From: peda@peda.com Subject: [*] GrafEq 2.04 / 680x0 Here is a fully-functional evaluation copy of GrafEq 2.04, a program for graphing, and exploring, mathematical relations. It is designed to be used for learning and teaching high school math - it is more reliable (it will produce correct graphs even for "tricky" relations) and easier to use than other graphing programs, although it is not yet as feature-rich. Some relations to try include: (type them as below, or cut & paste) x^2+y^2=25 y=sine^x y=Arctan9^9^9(x-1) y=arccosx y or write 405ware@studio405.com.
