Anderson) Subject: [*] Batch FTP v2.61 Batch FTP is a script for Peter Lewis' Anarchie program. It allows a user to batch-download a list of files (such as one generated from a new or recent files list) from an FTP server. Before you dismiss this script with others of it's kind, read on...it has some features I haven't see elsewhere. Features: -------- * Handy: Files to be downloaded don't need a full path. You can specify one base path that will apply to all files in the list. * Smart: Automatically retries minor errors. * Customizable: Remembers the base paths for up to 4 of your favorite sites. * Easy: Options to use the preferred info-mac or umich sites specified by Internet Config Version History: --------------- 2.61 - Public Release 12/25/96. Fixed bug introduced by using "geturl." Should be fully compatible with Anarchie 2.0.1 now. 2.60 - Updated BFTP to work better with Anarchie 2.0: * Uses "geturl" instead of "fetch url" because "fetch url" doesn't name files correctly under Anarchie 2.0. * Handles Anarchie's new window naming scheme (BFTP 1.6 would not close windows when retrying under Anarchie 2.0) * Added the ability to retry in errors that require user intervention.

MACHOME JOURNAL - Editors' Choice 1995 "Most games of this kind animate so slowly and so jerky, it's almost impossible to play them, much less have fun. This is not the case with Blood Bath.

It is very fast, supports drag&drop, is PowerPC native (but also fast on any other Mac with at least a 68020 CPU), and is bilingual (English/German). CDFinder is shareware (15 US$ for a single user license) and here in Germany already quite popular. The new version has an enhanced user interface that prepares the look of System 7.7. It is now also possible to drag catalog objects directly into the Finder, thus copying them. By giving labels to catalog objects, it is now much easier to find important files or folders. Some buttons in the main window make it easier to engage some important functions. A couple of minor bugs were corrected and the speed was improved a little. Give it a try! Norbert M.

KeyQuencer is a powerful and solid macro engine designed to use very little memory. It can perform both simple and complex tasks in any application when you press a specific key combination. Macros are defined through a very simple scripting approach and can be extended through external extensions. The bundled extensions provide lots of power and can replace many common system additions with substantial memory savings. KeyQuencer macros can also be lauched by HyperCard, AppleScript, Frontier, FileMaker Pro and any other application that supports sending Apple Events. Direct links are included for the Control Strip, Now Utilities, After Dark and other screen savers, Cron and the CodeWarrior IDE. A Developer Toolkit is provided for programmers who want to write their own extensions or drive KeyQuencer from their applications. KeyQuencer Lite is a shareware version of the commercial KeyQuencer package, which is available from Binary Software. The full commercial package has much more power to offer, please read the online documentation or visit the Binary web site at <http://www.binarysoft.com> for more information. New in version 2.0 Lite (partial list): - All of KeyQuencer Lite's components are performance optimized and accelerated for use on the PowerPC. - The KeyQuencer Engine is now a powerful stand alone extension. The old KQ Apple Events extension included with KeyQuencer 1.2 is part of the new KeyQuencer Engine. The Control Panel is no longer required to run macros. - Macros can be longer than 255 characters and are stored in separate macro suitcases instead of the KeyQuencer Panel itself. - The KeyQuencer Lite Editor has been rewritten. It is now much more powerful and easier to use. The new Editor can edit both the currently installed macros and separate KeyQuencer suitcases, and all the file formats have been unified.

As well as having a new grey scale texture, it is now free. That's right... freeware!!! OK... so only one person in the world was willing to pay for Mikey's textures. (You know who you are.) I didn't have the heart to have only one person paying for it. (Besides, I'd feel kinda silly claiming $5.00 on my taxes.) I guess college students are not supposed to make money. I still believe in shareware... it's just not for me. I only received E-mail messages from two people... in the whole world. While this was depressing, the other E-mail was from Pacific Hi-Tech. They included my textures on the Info Mac CD. I got a complimentary CD, so I guess this story has a happy ending. Technical Information These 26 textures were created with Adobe Photoshop 3.0.5 and KPT. They were specifically designed to appear seamless. Some textures need to be viewed in the thousands of colors mode, while the others should appear just fine in 256 mode. While specifically designed to be used as desktop patterns, these images can easily be converted to be used as Web Page backgrounds. Other Stuff Oh yeah... just because it is free doesn't mean you can sell it. If you intend to use it in a video game, a commercial web site, a shareware CD rom, etc... please let me know in advance. I'll grant you permission. (I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I see people doing creative things with my stuff.) Other than that, you can use it anyway you like. -Mikey x08si@cunyvm.cuny.edu [Archived as /info-mac/gui/txtr/mikeys-textures-rev-2.hqx; 442K] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Jan 1997 02:31:40 -0800 From: mc5230@mclink.it (Roberto Panetta) Subject: [*] Orniwell 3.0.1 (Text Viewer) Orniwell is a text viewer to navigate inside text files in a new easy way.

Smart Dubbing uses existing animated GIF-technology to show inline movies. Most important: this technique doesn't need special server software, cgi-scripts, Hot Java, Macromedia plug-ins, helper applications and all the stuff which makes it so complicated to put movement on a web page. The software actually takes a QuickTime movie and compresses it into a single GIF-file that can be recognised by Netscape 2.0 or higher. Smart Dubbing Pro has several sound features. Java sound, plugin support, sound recording, various compression schemes and Audio CD conversion. Input sound is either a CD soundtrack, a Quicktime movie, or an external source (this can be a microphone or line-feed, such as taperecorder= s). On the output side, there are two formats supported: Sun's AU format, used in Java. And AIFF, also a very common cross platform sound format. Smart Dubbing Pro is shareware.
