In the archive with the fonts is a MacWrite doc that demos the fonts, and releases the fonts into the public domain. The company's name and phone # is also included.

Dan LaSota [Archived as <INFO-MAC>HYPERCARD-COMBINATORIAL-MATH.HQX] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Dec 1988 12:41:36 PST From: fish@apple.com Subject: Errors in Inside Macintosh [Reposted from comp.sys.mac on Usenet] Here are the Inside Mac errors I received: 1) Color Manager * IM V-147: CompProc procedure is really a function. Should also note that CompProcs are only used in 1-bit GrafPorts to find contrasting colors that won't be the same as background colors. * Color Table Format, V-135, 136 ctFlags should be transIndex * V-143, aTable needs to be locked 2) Color QuickDraw V-61/62 BitClear trap should be BitClr Code ( BitClr(Ptr(HiliteMode,pHiliteBit)); should read: BitClr(Ptr(HiliteMode), pHiliteBit); HiliteMode is usually not available to Pascal progrms, you need to define it as: const HiliteMode = $938; 3) Compatibility Guidelines V-6 In the function declaration of SysEnvirons, SysEnvRecPtr should be: SysEnvRec 4) Desk manager I-446 says for DA to modify its own code; this is a BAD IDEA! Should say: set a flag or allocate a smaller amt of private storage. 5) Palette Manager V-155, "where yellowRGB is of type ColorSpec", ColorSpec should be RGBColor. V-165, "When you perform a SetPaletteEntry", SetPaletteEntry should be SetEntryColor 6) QuickDraw: I-159: PicHandlle should be PicHandle Other errors were repeats of these listed, or suggestions for improvements. ------------------------------ Date: 26 Nov 88 14:23:00 CST From: "J. L. Breeden" <11173@ncsaa.ncsa.uiuc.edu> Subject: HyperPlanes v2.0 HyperPlanes is a Hypercard-based function plotting program. It is not intended as a replacement for the ~$800 Mathematica, but rather a $5 shareware program to plot functions for those, like myself, on a limited or non-existent budget. HyperPlanes can make polar, parametric, and iterative functions as well as the old standard, f(x). It can also make Cartesian and polar 3-d plots providing a total of 8 different plot types. Line plots have 3 line types, and 3-d plots have 4 different solid types. A User-defined Functions/Constants option allows, as you might guess, for the user to store functions and constants for use in plotting. HyperPlanes also comes with some special functions built-in, such as Bessel, Gamma, etc. Of course, a major goal in plotting functions is to be able to make hardcopies. Provisions have been made to make plots from within HyperPlanes (more refined than just a direct "Print Card"). For high quality plots with all the features you my enjoy with Kaleidagraph or Cricket Graph, the data used for the plots can be exported as a text file. A plot Archival/Retrieval system has been included to allow functions and plots to be put into 'cold storage' with appropriate comments. These functions can later be restored to the plotting card and regenerated. Several other features are available, but these are the major ones. I hope people find this stack useful, and I would enjoy any feedback people may have... --Joe Breeden-- bitnet: 11173@ncsavmsa arpanet: 11173@ncsaa.ncsa.uiuc.edu [Archived as <INFO-MAC>HYPERCARD-HYPERPLANES-20-PART1.HQX through PART4.HQX] ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Dec 1988 13:15:16 PST From: William Lipa <lipa@polya.stanford.edu> Subject: KiddiePaint [Reposted from comp.binaries.mac on Usenet] Welcome to Kiddie Color Paint (KCP), Version 0.2, copyright 1988 by Bruce Ballard. This free program runs in 16-color mode on the Mac II. It contains many basic features of a paint program, and was designed primarily for children between the ages of 4 and 10. It will let you save and later read pictures, using its own form of data compression (the maximum file size is about 90K, our files are typically 20-30K). KCP is written in Lightspeed C and has been tested with Systems 5.0 and 6.0.2. It is compatible with Multifinder. Before launching KCP, select a simple pattern for the desktop (by clicking Monitor in the Control Panel). Restart the Mac if necessary. Also, avoid running programs or desk accessories that manipulate the palette. Naturally, you should avoid changing the depth of the screen (e.g. the number of colors) while the program is running. The 16 colors, in order, should be: white, black, red, pink, 2 greens, 3 blues, yellow, orange, 2 browns, and 3 grays. Please address comments or questions to me at 55 Clinton Avenue, New Providence, New Jersey, 07974, USA. For more complete documentation, and to receive a free update when it becomes available (about 1-1-89), send $2 (to cover postage and the disk) to this address.
