[Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle]
This is my Christmas card jigsaw puzzle, featuring digitized image and
sound.
Merry Christmas,

[USENET Moderator's Note: This is the second version of a program that
Brad submitted to me. After testing the first version, I found that while
it ran okay on my Mac at home (1MB Mac Plus running System 3.2), it ran out
of memory when I ran it at work (2.5MB Mac SE w/ Megascreen running System
4.2). I indicated the problem to Brad, and he made a fix and submitted
this version, but it still has the same "Out of Memory" problem. He'd like
me to go ahead and post it, and would like feedback from you as to what
configurations it runs on and which ones it doesn't.]

Subject: LaserPrep 65 for non-Apple laser printers
The following is a postscript file with a modified version of the
header distributed by Brian H. Powell.
The modification consists of a removal of the check whether the
printer is an Apple LaserWriter or not. The result is that this header
allows printing with smoothing on other postscript based laserwriters that
use the Motorola 68000, not only on the Apple one.
Since the header contains straight M68000 code it is not advisable to
use it on laser printers using a different processor.
It has been tested on a QMS PS 800 hooked onto a network of Sun UNIX
boxes. It seems to work fine.
For further information, see the original posting
(unix-paintps-laser40-update.shar.1 on sumex).

Subject: TEXAS free-text database/indexer/browser Hypercard stack
Appended below, in Binhex4/Stuffit archive form, is TEXAS version 0.1
(texas01.sit.hqx). TEXAS is a HyperCard stack which lets you browse
through multi-megabyte collections of free-text information. TEXAS
includes facilities for building and sorting a complete inverted index
to every word in a 'dataspace' text file. Very friendly and easy to use!
To browse and retrieve information, begin with the index display, a
scrolling list of key words, e.g.:
3 HYPERBOLIC
28 HYPERBUG
2 HYPERBUTTONS
10 HYPERC
2545 HYPERCARD
...etc. -- whatever words are in your input file. If you're interested in
hypercard, just click on that word in the index and get a key word in
context display (a scrolling window), e.g.:
ay with these new tools. HyperCard, I believe, will be even better
he pyramid is an index in HyperCard which knows something about the
Bill Atkinson talks about HyperCard -----------------------------
y seeing products such as HyperCard, and we are too, as soon-to-be
...etc. -- a line of the actual text around every occurrence of your chosen
word, centered on that word. If you want to read what Bill had to say,
just click on that line in the context display, and get the full text in a
scrolling window on your dataspace.
This upload is version 0.1 -- it works great, but many features remain
on my list to be added. It uses 13 XFCNs (written in Lightspeed C) to
open, index, browse, etc. through files. Everything is included in the
stack -- extensive help, documentation of all features, etc. TEXAS builds
indices at a rate of over 3 MB/hour on my Mac Plus; browsing speeds are
limited by HyperCard response times to a screenful/second or so.
If you like TEXAS 0.1, send me encouraging words, ideas, or other
contributions to keep me going further on it! (And contact me if you
want copies of all the source code for my XFCNs, at nominal cost.)
TEXAS has evolved out of my earlier Indexer/Browser programs during
the past year. I use it to think with and to remember items from the Mac
Tech Notes, from various online discussion groups, etc. The more info you
put into it, the better it gets (until you run out of disk space)!

a self-addressed-stamped-envelope, and a couple of bucks, and my son will
dupe it off for you. The uploaded file requires BINHEX and STUFFIT to

I am uploading Rolo.bin (Binhex 4.0 used on a stuffit file). It contains
a desk accessory called Rolo, which is a rolodex. It features case insens-
itive searching with wildcards (? and *), and is only limited by available
memory for the number of cards it can maintain. I hope this message
gets you started.

MacSnoop is a Shareware file/volume editor released to take the place of
FEDIT as it leaves for the realm of commercial software. MacSnoop has some
unique features such as the ability to have multiple editing windows open
at the same time. In addition, a full complement of utility functions

Enjoy, but please remember that only you can make Shareware work!
Thanks...
Unpack with StuffIt after downloading.

Subject: MORE trial demo (in 9 parts)
Here is a trial version of the MORE outliner. Many magazines gave it the
highest rating among outliners and it really does nice things!.
This version came with a hard-drive that I bought from the Savings Zone which
they filled up with about 17meg. of PD, Shareware and demos!!.
Glue the nine parts together, unbinhex and use stuffit 1.20 to decompress.
The glued file is about 310K while the stuffed file is about 280K.
Enjoy!!.

Subject: Hypercard XFCN Submissions
Attached is a StuffIt/BinHex4 archive containing two items:
1. A pair of XFCNs in a demo stack that "Sorts the contents of a
container by lines", and "finds a string in a container returning
line and item number". If you want to use these XFCNs in your stacks
the authors ask for a $10 shareware license fee.
2. A "HyperCard Development Tools" Stack that produces "complete
documentation of a card or a stack, lists of global variables in
a stack, and a sorted global variable cross-reference list." This
stack is freeware, but makes use of the Sort/Find XFCNs listed above.
(The StuffIt shareware fee has been paid by Rick Chapman, one of the
authors of the above.)
Please refer questions to aes@aplvax.jhuapl.edu (Andy Scheck).

Subject: EarthIdle
Here is a small application that displays a small spinning globe.
It runs under MultiFinder in the background and displays the number
of ticks that it had to wait, so it serves as a cheap performance
monitor. It takes only 64K of main memory to run, so it doesn't
really get in the way either. Lightspeed C source included in
StuffIt format.
