Easy Color Paint 0.4 (Program)
Easy Color Paint (ECP) 0.4 contains the basic features of a color paint
program, including patterns, fatbits, and cut-and-paste. It was originally
designed for children under 12 but, in its present form, it should appeal
to children of all ages. It's been tested with Systems 5.0 and 6.0.2, and
it's compatible with Multifinder. Before launching ECP, use the Control
Panel to set your Mac II to 16-color mode.
ECP is written in Lightspeed C 3.0, and it's freeware: please distribute it
and its documentation files freely. Questions, compliments, and complaints
may be directed to the programmer at the following address:

Subject: GateKeeper 1.0
GateKeeper 1.0 is a cdev/INIT that attempts to make it impossible
(or as difficult as possible) for viruses to spread or function
successfully in its domain. It does so by monitoring and
limiting access to certain system operations on which viruses
depend. Thus GateKeeper is a general purpose tool in the fight
against viruses, as opposed to programs written to stop only a
specific virus or set of viruses.
GateKeeper operates transparently to the user. It will never
confront a person with "Permission Granted/Denied" dialogs or
anything else of the kind.
GateKeeper is NOT a virus removal/repair utility. GateKeeper
endeavors to prevent viruses from infecting your system in the
first place, and attempts to render them harmless if they should
find their way in.
GateKeeper also provides powerful diagnostic facilities for
those intent on tracking and analyzing viruses in the form of a
log file to which records of the critical operations attempted
by viruses are written.
I have tested GateKeeper myself against the nVIR and Scores
viruses and found it to be completely effective in rendering
those viruses impotent. Tests conducted in public access
Macintosh facilities which had high concentrations of viruses
confirm those results.

I am looking for a protocol Analyzer that can be used in debugging
AppleTalk protocols. I am implementing these protocols and the only tools I
have for debugging my software is Peek and Poke from Apple which are not
that helpful.
Does anyone out there know of protocol analyzers for AppleTalk?
Thanks

Subject: PICT Control CDEF 1.0
PICT Control is a picture based control definition function
for the Macintosh designed to make possible the mimicking of a
variety of common types of real-world controls and the creation
of entirely new control forms.
PICT Control owes its flexibility to the fact that it dictates
almost nothing about the appearance of the controls it makes
possible. The appearance of a PICT Control is completely in
the hands of the programmer and the artist. By creating a
picture P or a series of pictures P in any Macintosh graphics
program, the form of each control may be molded to its
individual purpose.

Subject: References on User-Event-Driven Programming??
Can anyone recommend any good references on the basic principles of
Macintosh-style user-event-driven programming?
I'm looking for general concepts on the organization and structure of
such programs (for example, how to manage the flow of control in
large user-driven programs?) _independent_ of the language in which
these programs may be implemented -- something that goes beyond
the elementary advice to "initialize everything, then go into a
main event loop and wait for user events".
[P.S. -- I have half a dozen references on using computers for discrete
event simulation and modelling; I've not been able to make the connection
between these and the questions above.]

Here's a nifty little program called SetClock 1.8 that sets your Mac's
clock by calling an atomic clock in Virginia. The call takes 10 seconds.

Does anyone know if there is an updated version of TIFF libraries available?
I have the latest version from Bear River Associates, Inc. which includes
TIFF revision 4.0, but they said they were not contracted to do the new
version which contains color lookup table information. Also, if possible, it
would be great if they were in Lightspeed C.

Subject: Way to discard Worksheet changes in MPW 2.0.2?
I am new to MPW, having just bought TML Pascal II, which includes MPW 2.0.2. My
question is this: is there some way to have MPW automatically _discard_ the
changes made to the Worksheet window when exiting the Shell (whether Quitting
or launching another program). I figure there must be a way to change the
Suspend (, etc.) script files to do this, but haven't been able to figure out
how as of yet, since the Shell normally won't let you close the Worksheet
window. Thanks.

Subject: Windows 1.2
I noticed one bug shortly after I got hold of MacDraw II last weekend.
Attached is version 1.2 of Windows.
Sorry for any inconveniences
Windows 1.2
Copyright 1988 Joachim Lindenberg, Sommerstrasse 4,
7500 Karlsruhe 1, West Germany.
All rights reserved.
Windows is shareware. If you like and use it, send me $10.
International users: Send your check, turning it into cash
costs me $ 0.30.
This is an INIT/control panel extension that will add a windows menu
to the finder and other applications.
Windows "knows" some applications that do not need a 'Windows' menu, either
because they support only one window at a time (HyperCard), or because
they have a built-in 'Windows' menu (like MPW). Windows also "knows"
some applications that need help (Finder, ResEdit). If the current
application is not known to Windows, it will search the menu bar for a
menu named Window(s) or the like. If no menu is found, a menu is
added unless you disabled Windows in the control panel.
Installation: Drag the file into the system folder and reboot (it won't
work before reboot because it wants to patch some toolbox traps before
Multifinder gets loaded). Options may be set using the control panel.
Power users: The "known" applications are represented by their creators
and stored in "ukww" resources. You may add your favorite applications
there.
Windows has been tested on a Mac+ and a Macintosh II running System
Software 5.0 and 6.0. It contains some code to test for 64KB ROMs and
pre-4.1 systems, but this hasn't been tested thoroughly.
Known problems/limitations:
- windows will list only the windows of the frontmost application. If
someone can provide me with some insight on how to get at the windows
of the other applications, feel free to mail that info to me.
- windows is not able to detect whether the application supports more
than one window. It needs to "know" the creator.
- Windows will have problems with some special windows (e.g. the round
windows of "Earth Idle"). This may make the menu useless within these
programs, but should not interfere with general program operation.
Maybe you know Window's predecessor, Windows DA. The DA was not very
useful under MultiFinder, and it had two bugs:
- if a window's name started with a dash, a simple line appeared in
the menu instead of the window's name.
- if two or more windows had the same name, you could not select but
the first one.
The INIT/cdev fixes these limitations and bugs.
