YES!

I thought it was just me! I have a PowerCentre 132 and my cd drive stopped
working some months ago. I tried various drivers and scsi mounters to no
avail and thought it had just died, but I've recently upgraded to system 9
(wow) and I used an external scsi cd drive to do it.

The PowerCentre will quite happily boot up from a system cd but it won't
even look at anything else. I've tried disconnecting the internal cd and
runnning the external at the same scsi address but it just won't see non
bootable cd's. Both the cd drives are recognised by scsi probe, drive setup
and fwb mounter, but nothing I can do will make ordinary cd's mount.

It's really annoying and I can't think my way out of this one. I am going to
buy a G4 soon, but I would like to conquer this problem jsut so it doesn't
beat me.

Subject: [*] CDFinder 2.8.1


CDFinder is a very fast and powerful tool to create catalog files of your hard
disks, floppies, ZIP's and anything else that spins. It has a great user
interface and very useful search functions. CDFinder supports drag&drop and
requires at least a 68020 or PowerPC CPU. While System 7 is required, CDFinder
is also fully compatible to MacOS 9. A special feature is the
multi-lingual user
interface (German/French/English/Italian/Swedish/Chinese).
http://www.cdfinder.de

New features in CDFinder 2.8.1:

- Fixed a bug that could cause CDFinder not to find the catalog
folder. Instead CDFinder claimed that there were no files in the
catalog folder.
- Fixed a crashing bug in the Find window on some PowerPC machines
with MacOS 8.1.
- The main window allows the change of a name directly inside it!
- Added AppleScript support to get the infos of the Found Items.
- In the main catalog window, CDFinder will now use a different sort
method. CDFinder will now also do a secondary sort by name if the
main sort is by any other value.
- CDFinder now has a new application and also a new document icon!
You may need to rebuild your desktop file to see it.

Subject: [*] CRefDynGenStrArray JUL24_00


STL-vector<char>-based dynamic array of generic strings. Supports storing 
of Pascal&C style strings, STL strings and vector<char>.

All strings are kept in single storage buffer, tso even very large number 
of items will not cause memory management overhead. Occupies StringLen[0] 
+ ... StringLen[n - 1] + 2*n*sizeof(size_t), in other words, 
CRefDynGenStrArray is really space efficient.

Keeps additional reference table of real indexes. Thus, many functions 
will involve only operations with reference table. For example, Insert() 
actually appends item (what is much faster) and inserts only entry into 
reference table; Swap(), Move() and Sort() will cause changes only in 
reference table.

Refer to http://homepage.mac.com/macgurutemple/ for more info.

With best regards

Subject: [*] Default Folder 3.0.6 - Open/Save dialog enhancement


Default Folder is a Mac OS 9 savvy control panel that enhances Open 
and Save dialog boxes to make it easier for you to manage files on 
your Macintosh.  It provides many of the essential features of 
commercial utilities like SuperBoomerang, Action Files, and Directory 
Assistance, but without the infrequently used extras that take their 
toll in compatibility, memory, and CPU usage.

In addition, Default Folder fully supports the Navigation Services 
Open and Save dialogs available in Mac OS 8.5 and higher, allowing 
you to access your recently used and favorite folders everywhere.

Default Folder's time-saving Open and Save dialog enhancements allow you to:

- Set up a default folder for any or all applications.
- Switch among recently used folders from a pop-up menu.
- Easily navigate to your favorite folders.
- Share common sets of recent and favorite folders between all Open and
   Save dialogs, including Navigation Services dialogs.
- Click on a Finder window to list its contents in an Open or Save dialog.
- See available disk space and switch between disks from a pop-up menu.
- Open the folder shown in an Open or Save dialog in the Finder.
- Create folders, get information (including changing name, type, and
   creator), and move items to the Trash from within file dialogs.
- "Rebound" back to the last file you used.
- Make "Replace" the default option instead of "Cancel" when saving a
   file with the same name as an existing file.

Default Folder will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or 
higher, including Mac OS 9.0.4, and is $25 shareware.  A complete 
description, details, and screen snapshots can be found at:

	<http://www.stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolder/index.html>

Version 3.0.6 includes a fix for a bug that could cause Default 
Folder's preference file to become corrupted, a new popup menu for 
quick access to recent and favorite folder in the Finder, fixes for 
memory leaks in Navigation Services dialogs, and correction of a 
problem that could cause "click on greyed-out filenames" to fail in 
Navigation Services dialogs.  Full details are available at:

Subject: [*] MultiMode 3.5.0


MultiMode allows your Macintosh to decode and transmit several different
modes of non-voice communication often heard on shortwave radio.

In the past, dedicated hardware, often costing hundreds or thousands of
dollars, was necessary to demodulate and decode this transmissions. Today,
you can use the processing power of your Macintosh to decode and display
these modes, without any additional hardware, other than your Mac and a
radio.

MultiMode supports the following modes:

       Morse Code (CW)
       RTTY (Baudot)
       ASCII
       SITOR-A
       SITOR-B / FEC / NAVTEX
       SSTV (Slow Scan TV)
       WEATHER / SATELLITE FAX

        Welcome to CULTURE INTERCHANGE Square and thank you for your interest
in nigiri-zushi in Japan. 
	This is the updated version. 

        This program will introduce you nigiri-zushi, a popular Japanese dish.
More than 40 nigiri-zushi in my homeland are introduced with their
ingredients by using color images and illustrations. I ported the content to a
Hypercard stack.

         Incidentally, if you're making culture introductory/interchange programs
to post on the InfoMac archives, would you name your program's subject line
with a title that conforms to the "title (your country, province, or state) -
CULTURE INTERCHANGE Square" rule?
For more details, please read the "CULTURE INTERCHANGE Square ?" document.

        This program may be copied and distributed as long as it isn't altered and
is distributed at no charge, but it may not be included in any commercial
package. I hope you enjoy it.

Thank you,

Screen Catcher's own windows, where they can manipulated to change 
the color palette or reduce the number of colors in the image before

the contents of windows to capture an entire document or web page, 
even if it's too long to fit on the screen.  Version 2.0 also 
addresses printing bugs, adds a popup menu that gives you access to 
Screen Catcher at any time, provides a delay timer, and much more.  A 
full list of changes can be found at:

UnCoverIt is a shareware application that automatically generates labels

Unlike other label printing applications you don't have to enter the name 
of the files on your disk manually. UnCoverIt places icons and file names 
automatically at the right place and the right size. You choose what 
files should be displayed on the cover.

UnCoverIt 1.3 adds support for Audio-CDs, so all you have to do is naming 
the tracks, in case you macintosh doesn't already know their names. 

Currently these storage medias are directly supported:
-CD-ROM
-Audio-CD
-Iomega ZIP
-Iomega JAZ
-Iomation SuperDisk
-MO-Cartridges

Version History
1.3 (2000-07-20)
- adds support for Audio-CDs
- adds support for background pictures
- adds several new cover formats (SuperDisk, MO-Disks, JAZ)
- added a manual (Acrobat PDF file)

Subject: [*] Verbs & Nouns 2.4.4 - foreign language learning


'Verbs & Nouns' is an application for practising inflection, translation
and pronunciation at the level of single words. Features include the
opportunity to do various inflection exercises, and translation exercises in
both directions; to record and play sound for single words; to do
exercises based on sound or pictures; and to play various word-games.

The program keeps a record of exercises, and identifies the words that
the student has difficulty with. Along with the program, you need a
module for the target language concerned. The program can also be used
as an authoring tool to write your own modules of inflected words for
any language. A built-in 'inflection-generator' simplifies the addition
of these words. A 'Find' feature allows the modules to be used as
bilingual dictionaries.

Ready-made modules are already available for certain languages. You can
visit:

<http://users.netmatters.co.uk/dandaforbes>
