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!

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

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

Actually makes a RAM Disk useful!

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).

correctly, you must have copies with different serial numbers
(see docs).
