Archive-name: mac/archive-sites/mac.archive.umich.edu/newfiles.txt

  
Here's a batch of new files Justin Sullivan (justin@mik.uky.edu) and
Jon Brecher (brecher@husc.harvard.edu) have added to mac.archive in
the past week or so.  I was a little slow in posting this list as I 
got tied up in a evil, unfun project for Operating Systems class... We have
a bunch of new archivists helping:  Robert Blackmun, Joel Noble, Matt Elliott, 
Paul Southworth, Hubert Chen, and two or three more that I have to 
get back to as soon as I get a chance.  So things should be speeding
up considerably, soon....

I've created a new mail alias that you can send questions to:
"mac-questions@mac.archive.umich.edu".  If you have comments
or suggestions, please continue to send them to 
"comments@mac.archive.umich.edu".  And if you want to be on
our frequent ftp'ers list (which consists solely of these
new files announcements), send a message to 
"mac-recent-request@mac.archive.umich.edu" (tell your
friends on UUCP or Bitnet that they can access mac.archive
via a mailserver and that they should be on our frequent ftp'ers
list if they can't get to UseNet!)
  
Here's our list of new files... scan through here for things
you might be interested in.  And if you have new files from
Compu$erve or GEnie or America OnLine (or especially new 
things you've designed yourself), please send them to our
incoming directory or to us at "macgifts@mac.archive.umich.edu"
address.

Thanks!

/mac/util/organization/addressbook3.41.cpt.hqx
 347   10/16/92     BinHex4.0,Compact1.33

   Powerful looking utility application and DA which keeps track of
   just about everything associated with a name.  Build a database
   with the app and access using the DA. Includes some manipulation
   utilities as well.

/mac/util/multifinder/axocalculator1.0.sit.hqx
 450    10/16/92    BinHex4.0,StuffIt3.01

   An interesting new scientific calculator (application). Instead of
   pressing buttons to get results, you program it with expressions in
   C, Pascal, Fortran and BASIC. Useful for those that need to evaluate
   expressions and equations in these languages without going through
   the hassle of testing them out in a real program.

/mac/game/card/cardshellsolitaire1.0.cpt.hqx
 347     10/16/92   BinHex4.0,Compact1.33

   Set of four card games (Volume 1) designed with a new 'shell'
   system that provides an engine for card games. 

/mac/game/demo/cyberblastdemo.sit.hqx
 842    10/16/92    Binhex4.0,StuffIt3.01

   Mostly playable demo of CyberBlast, a sci-fi Gauntlet-type game.
   Full-color (256 colors). There are, however, level restrictions and
   no save/load capability for this demo version.

/mac/util/comm/firstclassclient2.0.cpt.hqx
 336     10/16/92      BinHex4.0,Compact1.33

   A client application which will allow you to hook up (via
   AppleTalk or modem) to First Class Bulletin Board systems.
   The client is freeware.

/mac/game/arcade/texris1.0e.cpt.hqx
  60   10/16/92    BinHex4.0,Compact1.33

   A public domain color-Tetris type game.
   Much snazzier then the earlier (two-year old) incarnation.
   Good color, good sound and two player side-by-side fun.
   Customizable and informative (such as a little bar at the bottom to
   show you where your pieces will hit). In my opinion, a nice refinement
   on the commercial version.

/mac/graphics/graphicsutil/macvista1.31.sit.hqx
 198    10/16/92    Binhex4.0,StuffIt3.01

   Astronomical image analysis program that reads a FITS file and 
   performs operations like logarithms, arithmetic, median, blinking,
   colortable changes, etc. If you pay the shareware fee of $20, you're
   entitled to a copy of version 2.0, which will include fancy things
   like convolution and contour and surface plots.

/mac/graphics/quicktime/theatremaker1.2.cpt.hqx
 316     10/16/92   BinHex4.0,Compact1.33

   Public-Domain MIDI utility from Kurzweil Systems.
   MIDIScope will let you examine many aspects of your interface
   and keyboard(s), such as the actual types of tones its producing,
   what kind of information it's getting, etc.

/mac/util/multifinder/rampreserves1.0.sit.hqx
  18    10/16/92    BinHex4.0,StuffIt3.01

   Nifty startup application for Quadra and PowerBook users.
   This utility will let you decide what you want to keep on a RAM Disk
   and will set it all up for you (copy everything over) on startup.
   Actually makes a RAM Disk useful!  

/mac/system.extensions/cdev/speedyfinderseven1.54.sit.hqx
  71    10/16/92    BinHex4.0,StuffIt3.01

   For 7.0, 7.01 and 7.1 Finder only.  Does a bunch of subtle
   enhancements.  Holding down option key while dumping files into
   trash instantly deletes those files, optimizes process manager
   memory handling so copies go faster, document linking, make alias
   command, resolve aliases, etc. Very handy..
   Version 1.5.4 excludes Balloon Help (the author was in a rush) but
   includes more handy features (like a functional equivelant of Helium
   Pro).

   sounds and a (mostly) intuitive interface.

 132    10/16/92    Binhex4.0,Compact1.33

   Interesting AppleTalk-based network chat program. The unique thing
   about this one is that it uses real sound (through Mac microphones).
   Users without sound input can just sit back and listen. 
   This is a fully functional demo, except for everything to work
   correctly, you must have copies with different serial numbers
   (see docs).
