Subject: [*] Application Replacer 1.2
I am sending you Application Replacer version 1.2
It is not free but $15 shareware.
This is the first distributed release of a small application that
will allow you to select substitutes for missing applications.
This will allow you to double-click MacWrite documents from the finder,
and then have them read into your favourite wordprocessor. But I also
use it to get MacPaint and MacDraw documents into SuperPaint, and to
read files from the MPW editor into THINK C.
The program is very user-friendly. Just locate a document from the
missing application (or enter the creator if known), and select a
replacement. A manual in MacWrite format is also enclosed.

This is another one of those cursor files. Those who have their
macs massively into Batman should enjoy this little bat-logo spinning

CAfterDark for THINK C 4.0
Introduction
------------
CAfterDark is a base class that allows you to write graphics modules
for Berkeley Systems' After Dark in terms of an object based
abstraction. The base class CAfterDark provides the default behavior
for a graphics module by simply blanking the screen. Subclasses can
then add or change this basic behaviour.

Subject: [*] Flash-It Screen-Capture CDEV/INIT v.1.3
Dear Moderator - I would like to submit the attached file for possible
inclusion to your archive library.
This is the latest version V.1.3 of Flash-It ScreenCapture CDEV/INIT
(previous version was V.1.2B2). It defines three HotKeys each of
which performs one of the following -
(1) Screen capture to Clipboard, whether menus are drawn in color.
(2) Save Clipboard image to a PICT file.
(3) Send Clipboard image to a printer.
HotKeys and their behaviors are programmable from the Control Panel.
New features: HotKeys can include PF-keys on Apple Extended
Keyboard; Can capture cursor/pointer; Supports multiple monitor cases;
Can select file creator when save CLipboard image to a PICT file;
MUCH more robust protection in memory shortage conditions.
WORD 4.0 documentation is included.
Flash-It V.1.3 is a share ware, U.S. $15.

Subject: [*] Gauntlet Editor 1.1
Due to an oversight on my part, Gauntlet Editor 1.0 did not allow
for editing of the second player in a two-player game. Since I've
had a few requests for this feature, here it is.
For those who had requested this feature, sorry for the long delay.
Changes to 1.1 from 1.0:
o Ability to edit both players in a two-player game.
o Color BNDL family for System 7.0.
o New US Mail address in release notes.
Enjoy.

Subject: [*] Gunshy b+w icons
Included herein is a set of icons based upon the Mah-Jongg tiles (such as
the cicns are) for monochrome screen Macintoshes. These are intended for the
GunShy game for the Macintosh computer.
Also included is a flat black background which I found easier to use in
conjunction with light-colored tiles.
Feel free to post these for downloading by any intrepid hackers who might
want to have them...

Subject: [*] IIfx Serial Switch
I recently requested a copy of the IIfx Serial Switch CDEV.
Thanks to those that sent me a copy. Many others also
requested a copy so I am posting it to the net.
This CDEV puts the Mac IIfx serial port into a "Compatible" or
"Faster" mode. Some applications that use the printer or
modem ports do not operate properly unless the serial ports are set
to "Compatible".

Subject: [*] practical-xfcns-092.hqx
Practical XFCNs, Version 0.9, Release 2, 8/27/90 9:15
A set of free external functions for HyperCard. The XFCNs are intended to
provide fast access to several fundamental data structures and algorithms.
Each of the programs is distributed with complete source code in C and a
detailed manual. The manuals provide descriptions of every feature, along
with illustrations and numerous examples. A demonstration stack is also
included, with sample scripts showing how the programs can be used. The
manuals are being distributed in Microsoft Word 3.0 and MacWrite formats
(though the Microsoft format is preferred).
The programs are:
* ArrayList: Implements lists and arrays. Features include fast sorting,
binary and sequential search, insertion, deletion, set operations, stack
operations, and several sorting rules (ignorecase, numeric, international,
etc).
* BinaryTree: Implements binary trees. Features include key and datum
fields for each node in the tree, several tree traversal methods (in-order,
level-order, etc) several key comparison rules (ignorecase, numeric,
international, etc), and functions for accessing nodes in a tree.
* Research: A regular expression searcher. Features include UN*X like
regular expressions, Boyer-Moore-Gosper algorithm for fast fixed pattern
matches, flexible output format facilitating further processing by
HyperTalk scripts, and the ability to search any number of HyperCard
containers of any type and on any number of cards. Research is much more
versatile than HyperCard's brain-dead Find command.
* ErrorString and ErrorName: Used for reporting errors from the other XFCNs.
By modifying a resource, ErrorString and ErrorName could be adapted for any
other program.
All comments, inquiries, requests, etc. are welcomed and should be sent to
the following address. I would appreciate receiving a postcard from your
home town, just so I can see how far this program goes.

From: Christopher Hobbs <HOBBSC%CWU.BITNET@ricevm1.rice.edu>
Subject: BinHex 4.0 or BinHqx DA
Awhile back there was a program posted called BinHqx 1.0 DA.
It was supposed to allow segmenting of BinHex files. Following
there were some posts regarding the fact that it didn't work from
a few people. Well I am one that it also did not work for but I did not
post.
My question is: did anybody find anything out about this program
and why it might bomb on my mac SE?
Or, alternatively, does anybody know where I can find a copy of
BinHex 4.0? I have 5.0 but it doesn't allow segmenting and seems to error
out on files that have been segmented.
Many thanks!

Subject: Imagewriter II paper feed problem
Does anyone still use Imagewriters?
Mine likes to vertically compress the first line of text on each page of a
document. I usually use pinfeed paper fed through the tractor sprockets,
and the paper does not seem hanging up on anything.
The printer has done this since it was new. Any suggestions?
