If you've got a Mac II, and the latest release of MacsBugs (version 5.5), try double clicking on the icon for it. It proceeds to plot a mandelbrot fractal. If you're running in color (or even in monochrmome mode) it's even nicer. A friend of mine showed me this a little while ago. It goes from large to small in a short matter of time (let's hear it for the 68020 and a 68881). I love these neat features built into software. If you're running Multifinder, when you choose "About Multi-Finder..." in the apple menu, try holding down option-command-shift when you do it. (I don't remember where I heard this, probably in this group.) Are there any other programs out there which do cute little things like the above two do? +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | David Vangerov | | Just your average Theater Arts major with a weird thing for computers | | fiatlux@ucscc.BITNET || fiatlux@ucscc.ucsc.EDU || ...!ucbvax!ucscc!fiatlux | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Actually, since Macsbug lives in the data fork, you can put any application's code in the resource fork. I believe that there are even some FKEYS in Macsbug 5.5. I pasted Macwrite's resources into Macsbug with resedit. Sure enough, double click on your debugger and write a quick letter. LetterToMom 9k Macsbug document Sat Nov 21......
