I've been trying to get some of the MacHack contest winners up and 
on-line in >> MAC.ARCHIVE.UMICH.EDU << over the past month or two.  
The CD-Rom has just arrived in my mailbox, and with it, e-mail
addresses of many of the developers who did those hacks.  I'll try to
contact them as I'd like to have official permission from each
person to add their hacks and source to our archive.  If you
did one for MacHack (or any other developers convention) and it's
Public Domain or Shareware, send me e-mail, send me the files!!  I'd
love to be able to add them to our archive.

Here are the ones we have online so far (from my memory, and I'm looking
at the index file, which is available in the "00help" directory as
the "index.txt" file....)


 SD/ALARM        567     6/22/92    BinHex4.0,StuffItDeluxe3.0
 /mac/sound/sounds/silentalarmnot.sit.hqx

    When you Mac detects a noise in the room (you set the
    sensitivity), it sets off an obnoxiously funky loud noise just
    like a car alarm.  C source included. 

 GR/WINDOWS       98      7/15/92   BinHex4.0,Compact1.33
 /mac/graphics/graphicsutil/windows3.0.cpt.hqx

    A Macintosh port of Windows (tm), the way cool user interface
    that makes IBM users feel better about their machines.  Works
    just like the real thing! 

 INIT/BAIL        53     6/20/92    BinHex4.0,Compact1.33
 /mac/system.extensions/init/bail.cpt.hqx

    Ever launch a nice large application (by mistake) and have to wait
    a while for it to load before you can quit?  Now, just hit the
    mouse button and it aborts the launch instantly (coooool).  Think
    C source code included. 

 INIT/NOT         23      7/3/92    BinHex4.0,Compact1.33
 /mac/system.extensions/init/not.cpt.hqx

    Frustrated with downer dialog boxes?  This    extension changes
    all the negative dialogs to  positives and then puts a "Not" into
    the OK button position.  Wayne and Garth would be proud. 

 SD/RAPMASTER    831     6/20/92    BinHex4.0,Compact1.33
 /mac/sound/sounds/rapmaster1.0.cpt.hqx

    You can rap just like the pros do (only you have a cooler
    computer).  Scratch a Perry Como record with your mouse through
    six different styles of beats on  the "beatbox" and "bass"lines...
    effects included do chriping, hit, bells and claps.  You can even
    record your raps via your microphone! 

SD/BELLCHOIR     54      8/8/92    BinHex4.0,Compact1.33
 /mac/sound/sounds/bellchoir.cpt.hqx

    One Macintosh is a "conductor", the other Macs on the network
    are the "chorus members".  Together, they all play music.
    Uses AppleEvents and new Sound Manager calls, so System 7 is
    required.  Includes Think C source.   

  
get on our frequent ftp'er mac.archive mailing list.... drop me a line
at "mac-recent-request@mac.archive.umich.edu"......

hope this is cool.... we DO want your hacks....
