Here are the color fonts that everyone has been asking for. 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.

Subject: Combinatorial Mathematics Stack
This HyperCard stack gives a very nice demonstration of combinatorial
mathematics. Free Free Free. You'll also need Stuffit.

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.

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...

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. Enjoy!
