Subject: ResTools 3.00
This is ResTools 3.00. ResTools is a resource compiler and decompiler. It
uses an input syntax similiar to that of MPW's rez and derez. It was
meant as replacement for rmaker, for those of us who don't use MPW, but
need a resource compiler/decompiler tool like that which MPW supplies.
This new version supports more resources, is faster, and works on Mac
IIs. A few other new features have been added. It's free and has online
documentation.

Here is a desk accessory that I hope will brighten your days
around christmas! It will let it snow on the desktop, i.e.
the area between windows. Set the desktop pattern to white
with the Control Panel for the best effect.
You can automatically start Snow at system startup by making
the SnowOpen (also included in the Stuffit file) application
the startup application.
Note: the snow will normally not appear inside windows. With
Multifinder however this does happen ocassionally, in inactive
windows. (Anyone knows where MultiFinder keeps its window lists?)
Also at times you may have a dead snowflake or Santa sticking
to your desktop somewhere. It won't harm you though.
Snow has a menu where you can set the number of snowflakes,
and whether or not you want to see snow or Santa at all.
Another option is to let Snow run under the Finder ONLY, i.e.
it won't snow while you're running an application.
You may freely distribute Snow, but it is NOT public domain
software. I reserve all rights.
Share and enjoy,
-Rick Jansen.

Subject: Warning v1.0d2
Here is the Warning init, version 1.0d2. This version has a number of bug
fixes which reduce the likelihood of interference with other inits and
applications.
What it does: warns you on bootup if your system is infected with the
Scores or nVIR viruses. You are presented with a friendly alert describing
the situation.
What it does not do: check for viruses in applications and repair the
system. Coming soon, coming soon.

Windows 1.1
Copyright 1988 Joachim Lindenberg, Sommerstrasse 4,

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.
