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.

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.

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. Bill Lipa Bitnet: lipa%polya@stanford [Archived as <INFO-MAC>VIRUS-WARNING.HQX] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Dec 88 17:54 MET From: JOACHIM LINDENBERG <JOACHIM@iravcl.ira.uka.de> Subject: Windows 1.1 Windows 1.1 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.
