- [USENET Moderator's Note: This is the second version of a program that
- Brad submitted to me. After testing the first version, I found that while
- it ran okay on my Mac at home (1MB Mac Plus running System 3.2), it ran out
- of memory when I ran it at work (2.5MB Mac SE w/ Megascreen running System
- 4.2). I indicated the problem to Brad, and he made a fix and submitted
- this version, but it still has the same "Out of Memory" problem. He'd like
- me to go ahead and post it, and would like feedback from you as to what
- configurations it runs on and which ones it doesn't.]

- Subject: LaserPrep 65 for non-Apple laser printers
-
- The following is a postscript file with a modified version of the
- header distributed by Brian H. Powell.
-
- The modification consists of a removal of the check whether the
- printer is an Apple LaserWriter or not. The result is that this header
- allows printing with smoothing on other postscript based laserwriters that
- use the Motorola 68000, not only on the Apple one.
-
- Since the header contains straight M68000 code it is not advisable to
- use it on laser printers using a different processor.
-
- It has been tested on a QMS PS 800 hooked onto a network of Sun UNIX
- boxes. It seems to work fine.
-
- For further information, see the original posting
- (unix-paintps-laser40-update.shar.1 on sumex).

- Subject: TEXAS free-text database/indexer/browser Hypercard stack
-
- Appended below, in Binhex4/Stuffit archive form, is TEXAS version 0.1
- (texas01.sit.hqx). TEXAS is a HyperCard stack which lets you browse
- through multi-megabyte collections of free-text information. TEXAS
- includes facilities for building and sorting a complete inverted index
- to every word in a 'dataspace' text file. Very friendly and easy to use!
- To browse and retrieve information, begin with the index display, a
- scrolling list of key words, e.g.:
- 3 HYPERBOLIC
- 28 HYPERBUG
- 2 HYPERBUTTONS
- 10 HYPERC
- 2545 HYPERCARD
- ...etc. -- whatever words are in your input file. If you're interested in
- hypercard, just click on that word in the index and get a key word in
- context display (a scrolling window), e.g.:
- ay with these new tools. HyperCard, I believe, will be even better
- he pyramid is an index in HyperCard which knows something about the
- Bill Atkinson talks about HyperCard -----------------------------
- y seeing products such as HyperCard, and we are too, as soon-to-be
- ...etc. -- a line of the actual text around every occurrence of your chosen
- word, centered on that word. If you want to read what Bill had to say,
- just click on that line in the context display, and get the full text in a
- scrolling window on your dataspace.
- This upload is version 0.1 -- it works great, but many features remain
- on my list to be added. It uses 13 XFCNs (written in Lightspeed C) to
- open, index, browse, etc. through files. Everything is included in the
- stack -- extensive help, documentation of all features, etc. TEXAS builds
- indices at a rate of over 3 MB/hour on my Mac Plus; browsing speeds are
- limited by HyperCard response times to a screenful/second or so.
- If you like TEXAS 0.1, send me encouraging words, ideas, or other
- contributions to keep me going further on it! (And contact me if you
- want copies of all the source code for my XFCNs, at nominal cost.)
- TEXAS has evolved out of my earlier Indexer/Browser programs during
- the past year. I use it to think with and to remember items from the Mac
- Tech Notes, from various online discussion groups, etc. The more info you
- put into it, the better it gets (until you run out of disk space)!

- dupe it off for you. The uploaded file requires BINHEX and STUFFIT to
- recover.... ^z

- I am uploading Rolo.bin (Binhex 4.0 used on a stuffit file). It contains
- a desk accessory called Rolo, which is a rolodex. It features case insens-

- memory for the number of cards it can maintain. I hope this message

- [ Updated 2-JAN-1988 17:19 by GPSART. This is a new version of that
- supports the Mac II, and SE. The documentation file is in MacWrite format.

-
- MacSnoop is a Shareware file/volume editor released to take the place of
- FEDIT as it leaves for the realm of commercial software. MacSnoop has some
- unique features such as the ability to have multiple editing windows open
- at the same time. In addition, a full complement of utility functions
- (delete, rename, etc) is available. The documentation file is in MacWrite
- format. Thanks for your support!

- Thanks...

- Subject: MORE trial demo (in 9 parts)
-
- Here is a trial version of the MORE outliner. Many magazines gave it the
- highest rating among outliners and it really does nice things!.
-
- This version came with a hard-drive that I bought from the Savings Zone which
- they filled up with about 17meg. of PD, Shareware and demos!!.
-
- Glue the nine parts together, unbinhex and use stuffit 1.20 to decompress.
- The glued file is about 310K while the stuffed file is about 280K.
-
- Enjoy!!.

- Subject: Hypercard XFCN Submissions
-
- Attached is a StuffIt/BinHex4 archive containing two items:
-
- 1. A pair of XFCNs in a demo stack that "Sorts the contents of a
- container by lines", and "finds a string in a container returning
- line and item number". If you want to use these XFCNs in your stacks
- the authors ask for a $10 shareware license fee.
-
- 2. A "HyperCard Development Tools" Stack that produces "complete
- documentation of a card or a stack, lists of global variables in
- a stack, and a sorted global variable cross-reference list." This
- stack is freeware, but makes use of the Sort/Find XFCNs listed above.
-
- (The StuffIt shareware fee has been paid by Rick Chapman, one of the
- authors of the above.)
-
- Please refer questions to aes@aplvax.jhuapl.edu (Andy Scheck).

-
- Here is a small application that displays a small spinning globe.
- It runs under MultiFinder in the background and displays the number
- of ticks that it had to wait, so it serves as a cheap performance
- monitor. It takes only 64K of main memory to run, so it doesn't
- really get in the way either. Lightspeed C source included in
- StuffIt format.
