AutoAssassin 1.1
(c) 1992 Bill Monk

This freeware INIT comes courtesy of ZiffNet/Mac.

If you've ever come across a corrupted alias, and gone through the hassle of
fixing it; or if you've wished for a faster way to find an alias' original, or
the comments thereof; this is just what the doctor ordered.

Whenever the Finder forgets where an alias points, AutoAssassin will display a
dialog asking if you would like to delete the corrupted alias, ignore the
problem (you might want to do this if you have an alias to an unmounted disk,
or a server that's gone down), or to recreate the link to the original. If you
choose the third option, AutoAssassin will display a standard file dialog, and
recreate the link upon opening the original.

Some more goodies:

Command-double-clicking on an alias, or command-selecting an alias from the
Apple Menu sends a <Find-Original> Apple Event to the Finder.

Control-double-clicking an alias, or control-selecting an alias in the Apple
Menu sends a <Get-Original's-Info> Apple Event to the Finder.

AutoAssassin requires System 7.0 or later. It is 32-bit clean, virtual memory
capable, and Quadra cache-compatible. Known incompatibilities: it is
completely
incompatible with HAM 1.0, and must load after Kiwi PowerWindows.

Subject: [*] CrossMaster 1.12

Here is the newest version for CrossMaster!

This new version broadens its ability to load in other programs' crossword
puzzles.  It also allows you to save your own crossword puzzles in a PICT
format.

For those of you who are not familiar with the program, CrossMaster
generates crossword puzzles for you.  You simply type in a word list, along
with the clues, and the program creates your puzzle.  It also allows you to
solve the puzzles right on the screen.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to contact me.

D F D E d i t o r    v 1.2
Copyright Richard Friend 1992.

DFDEditor was written using THINK Pascal 3.01.
It is an application to implement the editing of
Data Flow Diagrams with additional data dictionary
features incorporated in the new version.

After some pretty positive feedback here's the new
version of DFDEditor.  Version 1.2 includes a preview
facility (which is a bit of a lame excuse for a new
version), data dictionary/freeform-text for objects
and report generation.

Most of the old bugs have been ironed out of it but I'm
sure some still remain.  As usual with software you get
>From the archives however, the author (that's me)
accepts no responsibility for any problems that may
occur due to the use of the application.

If you find the application useful in any way then
please send me $10 dollars or something nice like a
postcard of your home town.  This does NOT apply to
students (apart from the postcard bit - all you do
when you're a student is sit around all day waiting
for some appalling sit-com to come on the TV (I know),
so you can write me a postcard while you're waiting)
since I could never afford to send any money when I was
a student.

no longer residing in the carefree haven of academia.

Well, thanks for showing an interest and taking the
time to download version 1.2.  Bye.

Subject: [*] diskdoubler-377-updater.hqx

This self-expanding file is a kit consisting of several files to update
DiskDoubler 3.7, 3.7.1, 3.7.2, 3.7.3, 3.7.4, 3.7.5, 3.7.6 to DiskDoubler
3.7.7. It is a single patch for all versions, so the same patch kit is used
no matter which version you have. Of course, you must own DiskDoubler 3.7
or higher to use this patch kit.

Be sure to read the read me file FIRST before patching.

The main reason to download version 3.7.7 is that it WORKS WITH SYSTEM 7.1.
It also has minor changes to support AutoDoubler 2.0 and can now compress
using AutoDoubler's compression methods, even if AutoDoubler is not
installed.

This is a demo version of the soon to be released game Lemmings.  I haven't

PrefsCleaner 1.0 (c) 1992 by Luc Pauwels


System 7.0 introduces a new organization for the System Folder, which
contains a set of new subdirectories to hold related files.  The Finder
uses these subdirectories to facilitate file management for the user.

PrefsCleaner examines the Preferences Folder and erases all 'creatorless'
preferences files. (i.e. preferences files for which the application or
desk accessory or whatever created them, can't be found anymore on any
mounted volume).

PrefsCleaner is system 7-dependent.

Shareware: The shareware fee for PrefsCleaner is $15.

You can distribute this software by giving it to friends, upload it to a BBS
or to on-line services like Compuserve and AOL.  You may also send it to any
ftp site. Basically you can distribute it any way you like, as long as you
don't ask any money for it, other than a small charge related to distribution
costs (cost of a disk, postage or download fee).  PrefsCleaner must be
distributed together with this unmodified document and the registration form
in the original compressed archive this product came in.

You may not sell this product or bundle it with any other products
(commercial or other) without explicit written permission by the author of
this software.

Submission for
    /info-mac/art/qt/RTrace_movie.cpt.hqx

 This is a QuickTime movie of a ray-traced fly through a
 pile of "Christmas tree" balls. (Just in time for X-mas :-).
 It demos a soon-to-be released program called RTrace.

 You may also be interested in downloading another RTrace
 movie of /info-mac/art/qt/aircar.hqx

 The purpose for this movie is to generate interest in RTrace.
 Beta testers are needed to help test this full-featured
 rendering and animation system for the Macintosh.  This
 program will be released into the public domain soon.  Full
 source will be included with the release.

 To participate in the beta-test, you must have ThinkC-5.0.2
 and be willing to help find, squash bugs, and you *must* give
 feedback on how well it works on your machine. (if not, please
 wait for a few more weeks and get the tested/debugged version).

 RTrace has been written by Antonio Costa at INESC in Portugal.
 It currently works on Unix (Sun/HP/DG/..), Vax, Transputers,
 Dos, and now the Macintosh.   Greg Ferrar at Ohio State did
 a fantastic job on the user interface and made this Unix
 program actually Mac-friendly.  If you are interested in
 participating in the beta-test/development for the Mac
 please contact:

    reid.judd@East.Sun.com

((note for collectors of shareware for CD-ROMs: this is a tiny
  version of full movie.  It has been reduced to 200x200 and
  only the first 100 frames are shown.  Please contact me for
  the full version.  I would be happy to see it on a CD-ROM.))

   news on the upcoming PowerBook Duos, along with a report on how
   Apple handles the PowerBook 100 Rework program and an article

   Apple prices drop even further, sumex holds a bake sale (not
   really), and you should stay on the lookout for a new 13" color

Tunefinder is a HyperCard index to 7,500 melodies from classical

No other musical knowledge is necessary.

Tunefinder requires a Macintosh with HyperCard 2.x installed.

Subject: [*] Zipple 1.1

This is a new version (1.1) of Zipple.  Please replace any earlier
versions you may have.

Zipple is an extension/control panel that allows you to place an
animated image over the title of your Apple menu (a la Earth).
You can use one of the ready-made ones, or create your own with
its handy built-in editor.

Version 1.1 adds the ability to export images to and import them from
files, as well as support for copying, pasting, and clearing frames of
your images.  It also resolves some minor cosmetic flaws with the first
version -- no more white dots on the screen when your menu bar isn't
white, and the editing box redraws properly when (if) you switch from
color mode to black and white.  I also added four new images, one of
which was sent to me by Bob Andris.  (Send more! :)

Note, version 1.1 changes the format used to store your images slightly,
so you should use the "Import" option to ensure that any images you created
will be displayed properly.  The Import will automatically detect older
images and convert them to the new format.

Zipple works with any Macintosh running any version of System 6 or 7.

This is a StuffIt 1.5.1 archive.
