Subject: Administrivia

  Welcome to the alt.sources.mac digest.  Currently, I am
the moderator of the archive.  I thought I would post this
message to show everyone what has been accumulating at the
archive site.

  Thanks to all of those people who responded to the survey
that went out concerning the state of the alt.sources.mac
archive.  All of the comments were good, and that makes me
a happy camper!

  In the survey, I stated that the number of files has been
growing steadily and that the size of the directories was
getting difficult to manage.  So I asked for some suggestions
to segment the archive into a reasonable format.  The best
suggestion I got was to format the archive in volumes like
the rest of the source groups do.  The suggestions to segment
the packages into types (applications,utils,etc.) gets kinda
messy when you are dealing with those borderline cases, so
I decided against that suggestion.  Instead, I chose to
segment the archive into volumes.

  So, that's what I have done.  The volumes are separated
corresponding to the digests that have been posted previously.
So, as this is Digest #7, all of the packages listed below
are in the /ftp/pub/alt.sources.mac/vol-07 directory.

  Snippets are handled a little differently, however.  The
snippets have been segmented, but not according to the
digest numbers.  I have segmented the snippets into volumes
representing six months each.  As this is the (about) seventh
month in the life of the alt.sources.mac newsgroup, the
snippets listed below are in the
/ftp/pub/alt.sources.mac/snippets-v02 directory.

  I hope that this new arrangement won't be too confusing
or hard to get used to.


  Any other suggestions are welcome and encouraged.

Subject: Contours 1.0b (P)

I had a request for this one, since I mentioned it, so I thought I'd put
it here so anyone could snag it.

It's supposed to draw 2D contours according to a raster file.  But it
came with no raster files, and I haven't waded through the manual to see
how it's supposed to work.

It's Pascal source, but came with no project.  Get the .rsrc file out of
the built ap. (new programers:  Select the ap.(in the Finder), hit
Comman-D, change copy's type to 'rsrc' and creator to 'RSED', open with
ResEdit, dump 'CODE' and other non-project resources, quit ResEdit, save
changes, rename to match project name.)

Note:  There are Contour applications in the Statistics1.cpt.hqx and
Statistics4.cpt.hqx files at ftp mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu /pub/mac, although
no source.  Maybe one is a later version of this (1988) one?

Subject: How to tell Energy Saver to turn the monitor on or off

A few months ago, I spent a while disassembling Apple's Energy Saver
control panel to figure out how it worked.  I needed to know this
because I wanted to make it work for me under A/UX.  That effort was
a success, allowing me to create an extension, Energy Beaver, that
loads before Energy Saver under A/UX, and diddles a few things so
that Energy Saver will be happy.

        Generic List Library

        by Keith Pomakis
        [e-mail]

        Spring, 1994


****  Documentation  ****

PURPOSE AND HISTORY

The basic data structures of lists, stacks and queues are fundamental to
programming at almost every level.  However, because of the nature of the C
programming language, it is difficult to program a set of generic list
functions without sacrificing simplicity.  Therefore, C programmers often
find themselves programming specialized list functions over and over again.
This is not only a large waste of effort, but can also be the source of many
errors since each individual implementation is often tested only
haphazardly.

After countless assignments and projects (both academic and personal) in
which I found myself constantly rewriting the same list manipulation
functions in slightly different contexts, I figured it was about time to
take the effort and program an efficient, flexible, and easy-to-use library
of generic list functions.  And that is exactly what I did!

It is my hope that, in distributing this library, others will be able to use
what I've put together to increase their own programming productivity.

Subject: v43i051:  grayimage - C++ classlib for generic processing of grayscale images, Part01/05

Submitted-by: [e-mail] (Kiselyov Oleg)
Posting-number: Volume 43, Issue 51
Archive-name: grayimage/part01
Environment: C++, G++ 2.2.2+, Symantec 6.0.1+, Sun, HP, Mac, Sequent

grayimage_classlib is a C++ class library to do a generic
processing of grayscale images.  It is one part of my image
compression code I've been messing with for almost 3 years. This part
is general enough to be of some interest to folks at large (I
hope). It lets you do a variety of different operations on images,
rectangular areas, etc: say, add two images, compute their "scalar
product", modify pixel values over the entire image or some
rectangular area of it in a _variety_ of ways, equalize the image
histogram, stuff like that.  One function, shift_clip_add(), does
actually the filtration (convolution). Morphological filtration is
implemented as well. I tried to make the code as optimal as I could
think of (without getting into assembly -:). The package can
read/write XWD, Group G TIFF and PGM file formats; actually, the
package understands which file format it's asked to read and selects
the appropriate method automatically.  I demonstrated pieces at Data
Compression Conferences, and some people suggested me submit it into
the public domain.

Subject: Log file routines

Here's a nice little, tiny, documented chunk of code for handling
the creation and use of log files in your project.  It works great
for those hard to debug items like bg-apps, inits, etc.

There are actually two different items here.  The first is a bugfix
for the LogLib library that came out earlier.  The second item is
new.  It is a component which implements the logging functions.

For those of you that don't know what a component is, here's a quick
and dirty explanation.  Components are tiny extensions which the
Component Manager takes care of.  All you, as a programmer, have to
do is open the component and by using the value returned by the
Component Manager you can use the library just like it was part of
your application, yet the code doesn't exist in your app.  The
Component Manager is part of QuickTime, AppleScript, and (supposedly)
System 7.1 and up.

The code for the component and a test application showing how to use
the component is included.  Also included are compiled versions of
both so you can see how the component works (drop the component in
the extension folder and restart before using the application).

The component is a full component which handles all of the Component
Manager functions.  It also will draw it's own icon at startup time
(Wow, cool! ;)

As part of the test application, there is also files called
"Libsprintf.c/h" which are a standalone sprintf code (no ANSI/ANSI-small
libs necessary!).  Read the beginning of the file for more info.

The code was written/compiled using Think C 7.0.3 with both the old headers
and the new universal headers.  I took advantage of the fact that in
"Mac #includes.c" for the universal headers there is a constant defined as
NEW_HEADERS_AVAILABLE.  If you are using the universal headers with a
different compiler that doesn't define this constant, just add the following
line somewhere: #define NEW_HEADERS_AVAILABLE 1.  If you don't have
the universal headers, you don't have anything to worry about.

This is all copyrighted to me (Dave Nebinger).  Feel free to email me with
your questions and comments.  Also drop me a line if you plan to use
the routines (I am just curious ;-)

Subject: MovieScroll (C)

I little thing I tossed together in response to requests on c.s.m.p. for
source that scrolls text like a movie credits thing.

This does it, and does it nicely, but it's over a white TE background.
If anyone wants to modify and repost, with a fade-out/fade-in, and scroll
colored, styled text over a black background - before I do - please do.

In the meantime, this does the scroll.  I pasted in the styled text from
a word processor (into the 'styl' res.).  I tried it in 1bit mode and it
was okay.  I haven't tried it on any other machine that my LC.  Doesn't
really "call" any color routines, though, so it should work on any mac.

Subject: NewDisplay-c

No!  That's not "nude is play!"  NewDisplay is an update of Greg Corson's
old 1985 "TTY" like 'TEXT' file displayer application.  I hadn't gotten
it to werk right before, but when I did I saw that it was useful.  And
the source has teaching value for how to do such a thing: a "console"
type display without the ANSI console.

The original application, and thus the source, crashed with a full
freeze.  The only original included here is the Aztec C source.  I was
able to fix the source with a few pastes from MiniEdit - plus all the
character case corrections!

I forgot to check to see if it still needed ANSI library.  I think the
only ANSI call was to strcpy, which is now removed.

I also changed the .c file name AFTER I quit Think C, so you'll have to
handle that.

Enjoy!

Subject: NewInterval-c

Another old C source "brought back from the dead" by Kenneth A. Long, at
itty bitty bytes(tm)!

Original by Brad Needham, 25 May 1987.

Interval is a music student's program which plays synthesized tones
while using music notation in a set of radio buttons and a graphic
display.  I assume for familiarization with notation and tones. :)

The original application runs on System 6, on my LC, but I get an
error 25 in System 7 with 32 bit on and an error -192 with it off.

The new one runs, but is buggy.  When you select "Student provides
notes" (a checkbox in a menu) it may crash.

I set it to have the computer do everything, and set it to play
harmonics, with "accidentals" (whatever they are) and it does the
most.  But it gets its info from a table in the source, so there
is only enough variety to keep me amuzed for a short time.  The fun
part was getting it running.  That being done - although not
debugged - I'm on to other things.

But, as with most C source, there are things to be learned from it
and useful routines someone may want to use in their code.

I also added some color icons.

Enjoy!

Subject: NewMorse-c

A revival of Brad Needham's 1987 C source for "Morse" - a morse code trainer.

This thing is slightly buggy, but not too bad.  That leaves something for
YOU to revive about it.

The original application errored and exited on my LC.  The new one seems
to run fine except when "sending" morse, when you hit the shift key there
is no differentiation on the interval of tone, so you cannot really send
separate letters easily.  You can do 'E' (.) and 'S' (...) and such, but
not an actual word.  Also, sometimes a Shift hit sticks, as far as the
program is concerned, so it generates a continuous tone.

One cool thing is it converts the Shift-down durations into a bitmap and
draws the tone (as a growing bar), so other "draw by sound" programs
could be developed from it.

Anyway, this one mostly works as is.  And HEY!  It's C source!

Subject: NewRae-c

Another old C source, brought back from the dead, by Kenneth A. Long, at
itty bitty bytes(tm)!

Rae was an old Steve Hawley source, from 1986.

What it does is put up a window, with a black fill, but a white line
inset from the sides and bottom.  Then, 16x16 "happy faces" (Steve was
into those) begin to fall, one at a time, from the top.  When they hit
the bottom, they bounce.  The bounce decays, as though by friction, until
the "marble" stops.  Then another one appears.  They just keep stacking
up as long as you don't click the mouse.

NewRae has a hot-wired window added.  The original worked, but after
Button () there were black areas all over the screen.

Next giration?  Color - ala "Blasto" - and clacking marble sounds.
(pending interest and time, of course)

Enjoy!

Subject: NewsSplash-c

A public domain demo of a "news flash" text splash screen,
courtesy of Kenneth A. Long ([e-mail]).
An itty bitty bytes(tm) production, for the benefit of anyone
who wants use it.

What it does is put up a wide, short window, some 1pt. text appears in the
center and scales up to 12pt.  It hangs for 3 seconds, then contiues to
zoom "forward" until it goes off the edges.  Then the window closes.  If
you want to see it again, it's the About Item in the Apple menu.

This is basically just "Bullseye" with some things dumped and one routine
added, and a resource file to back the addition.

The routine was from the old Pascal source - File v1.1, by Cary Clark, 13
May 1985, which I ported to C.  The program was a simple text file
opening/saving program.  The about box was the only cool thing about the
whole program.

It's not the cleanest port in the world, but HEY!  It works!

I put a 3 tick delay in the scaling loop, to make the text arrival a
little more viewable.  The other 180 tick delay was originally 300 ticks.

Subject: NewStringArt-c

Another old C source, "brought back from the dead,"
by Kenneth A. Long, at itty bitty bytes.

Original source in Megamax C v.2 by Ron Hitchens, 13 September 1985.

There are two programs here.  One builds the 'stringnums.c' file,
by recursivly tapping from 12 available functions to create values,
and writing them in the file.  This program is more or less a
table compiler.  Interesting in and of itself.  The more interesting
of the two.

The other program is the StringArt project.  It draws random sets
of lines, based on the table it accesses.  Kinda slow.  Maybe
there's a delay call I didn't spot.  Lots slower than many
screenSaver type programs, including FlyingLine.

The StringArt thing is nothing special.  Everybody, their brother,
their sister and maybe even their Grandma may have put out some sort
of screen saver. (I like Polygondrian :)

 PlotManager 2.53b

The Archaeological Plotting Program by William Ferris

Western Heritage Services 563 5th Avenue North Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan  Canada, S7K 2R1   A little over a year ago I bought
my first Mac, and with it my first  Pascal Language, Think Pascal
3.0.  What I wanted to do was design a  plotting program for
archaeological data, especially data generated  by a cataloging
program called MacADEM (written by Terry Gibson also  of Western
Heritage).

In Western Canada MacADEM was become a standard method for
handling  archaeological data, Terry felt that the program needed
some better  display and analysis tools, knew I was looking around
for a project  and with some discussion PlotManager was born.
This program was an  in-house application but has undergone some
rigourous discussion (most  of which will be in the next version).

I offer this up as a partial payback for all the source code that
I've  downloaded.  Such source code provides invaluable
information on how  and why to do things, it is often the best way
to learn and understand. This program is perhaps the most finely
crafted product but it all  works (more or less it is a little
weak on error checking). I've  included the entire Think Pascal
project and resources along with  some sample data files to show
how data is formated.  This version  2.53b was the original B/W
version, it runs on all Mac's, System 6  and 7.  It is currently a
Think Pascal 4.0 project.  I am currently  updating this program
to include new routines and a better Mac  interface, also I am
working on a color version.

I must acknowledge that one unit was taken from an article from
MacTutor  Vol 7, No.9 September 1991 called 'Meter Windows' by
Walt Davis.  I modified this unit slightly to accomdate my program
but it remains essentially the same.

RotatePPC 0.1d1
===============

This is a Power Macintosh only program that reads a set of
3-dimensional points and lines and plots them in a window.
The image can then be rotated with the mouse in real time.

The provided source code demonstates a basic PPC C program
that can handle the required apple events, set up and use
an offscreen GWorld, get a file using StandardFile and
read that file with standard C routines.

The resource file contains code that will put up an alert
on non-PPC machines and quit.

The project file is for the Metrowerks PPC C DR/3 compiler.

Notes
-----

A Power Macintosh 6100 can handle 500 input lines reasonably
comfortably.

The executable is compiled for a maximum of 2500 input lines.

This program and the source are free and I take no responsibility
if it kills your machine or drives you mad.

E-mail me if you find a use for it or come up with a killer
set of points/lines. I am also interested in other methods for
rotating 3d points (esp the trackball rotation).

Subject: UserName-101.hqx

UserName is a little program that lets you set the name of the machine
it is run on (back in prehistory, this was the name seen in the
Chooser desk accessory). You can run UserName either as an INIT
(extension), or, if you prefer, as an application. When UserName runs,
it displays a dialog, into which the user can enter his or her name.
The dialog includes a timer, and will be automatically closed when the
timer reaches zero. This means that even if you run UserName as an
INIT, it will not prevent the system from booting up if no one is
around to enter a name. The dialog also includes a help button, which
enlarges the dialog and drops down a scrollable TextEdit field with
help information.

Full THINK Pascal (v2.0) source code for UserName is included. The
code shows how to make a program that can be run either as an INIT or
as an application, how to show a dialog from an INIT, how to modify
the dialog, and how to show a scrollable text edit field in an INIT.
It also includes my own Pascal version of the ShowINIT code,
translated from the assembly language source code.
