It will perform the following useful functions: 1) It tracks allocation in various asset classes (foreign/domestic, equity/bond, small-cap/large-cap, etc.). A unique feature is the ability to allocate percentage amounts within a single investment; for example, a mutual fund 60% in stock and 40% in bonds can be accurately represented in Asset Basset By enabling percentage allocations within an investment, Asset Basset lets you monitor the allocation and performance of your investments with a precision limited only by your knowledge of your own investments. 2) It lets you define portfolios using allocation criteria, e.g., "foreign" or "foreign fixed-income" and monitor the performance of the portfolio. 3) It calculates the cost-basis of each investment, using either the average-cost or first-in-first-out methods, and generates tax-reports of capital gains and distributions for any year. 4) It calculates total profit using the time-value of money, with methods such as the internal rate of return, and the discounting/compounding of cash flows. 5) It keeps track of total worth, out-of-pocket cost, and so on. "Asset Basset 2.51 app" is a standalone application (previous versions were Hypercard stacks). Asset Basset will be very slow on a 68K Mac without a math co-processor. It requires a minimum of 1.1 MB of RAM.

Simply type in the text, tell it what folder(s) or disk(s) to search, and it will find all files containing that text. FindText it very useful as an adjunct to Sherlock under MacOS 8.5 which only indexes the data fork of files. It is also one of the few tools that can search the files of popular utilities (that put their data in the resource fork) like eDOC, ScrapIt Pro and NotePad deluxe! Although FindText is fast, it is not as fast as Apple's Sherlock but Sherlock works only after a time and space consuming indexing of your harddisk. So, if you don't loose track of your files on an hourly basis, you will prefer 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, iMac and the 68020/030/040 Macs. FindText is fully compatible with Mac OS 8.

Most of the screen savers available do a lot of system trap patching via extensions, which introduce a factor of uncertainty in your system. NOVA does not patch any OS routines, but instead is completely application driven -- when it is appropriate (based on user settings), NOVA will launch it's "Saverlet" applications that will do the screen saving. NOVA provides three main services to the user: (1) eliminates the potential for phosphor screen burn-in, (2) security for your system via password entry, and (3) entertainment for yourself and those who work around you. One last boastful note: NOVA is one of the only screen saver applications that can utilize multiple monitor setups-- and when we say "utilize", we mean that drawing occurs on ALL monitors, not just the menubar screen. Take that After Dark! Version 3.1 adds several new features and enhancements. A partial list: - Holding down the "Control" key and putting the mouse in the NOVA Now or Never corner causes the NOVA Settings application to reveal itself in the finder. This is handy for when you want to quickly find your NOVA installation on disk. - The entire NOVA package was reduced in size by using the Code Fragment Manager. - Rearrangement of some of the NOVA Settings control panel, and better support for the Appearance Manager. - Optimizations in NOVA Launcher. - The Fortune Cookie Saverlet is back, and better than ever. Drawing is much smoother and slower, so you can actually read the fortunes! ;-) Requirements: Any PowerPC Macintosh with System 7 or higher.

This method has the three distinctive policy; to learn one key to one finger at each step, to keep presenting the part which has already finished repeated again and again, and not to show each key in the course of practice in order for the learner to be able to hit the keys without looking at the keyboard. The learner can see the result of his practice after each small practicing round through the unique graph which displays the rich information based on the unique practicing policy. The learner can concentrate on the smooth stroke by keeping the graph line within the certain graphical zone. In addition, the amount of practicing material can be modified by the learner freely and the words and characters used in the practice can be registered in the dialog box or a large amount of words can be imported from a text file. The interface design is unique and sophisticated, but the program size is rather small (2.0MB RAM and 1.1MB disc space is required) and because there is no limitation concerning the graphical devices, many learners can use this program. System Requirements: (1) PowerPC Macintosh computer running System 8.0 or later. (2) 9-inch or larger monitor. (3) 2.0MB or more free RAM space. (4) 1.1MB or more free disc space. (5) U.S. layout keyboard.
