FINALLY, I'm done with final exams (for this semester, at least)... there's been a couple of new files in the incoming folder of mac.archive.umich.edu (that's 141.211.168.70) for a few days that I now have the time to get to. Don't let final exams stop YOU from uploading groovy new public domain and shareware goodies to your macintosh archives... I'm eager to see whatever apps, cdevs, inits, fonts, etc and so on.. if you created 'em.. send them along. Meanwhile, here's another 200 lines of new files that have been added to our archive.. if you're curious as to what the date is (e.g. 4/18/91), that's the date I added it. I'll be caught up pretty soon. Michael... ------- CDEV/POPCHAR 21 4/18/91 BinHex 4.0, Compact 1.3 You define the "hot corner", and when you click on it up pops a chart of all characters in the font set you are using in your top window.

So, logically, it "forces" you into following typesetting conventions: only single spaces, em-dashes (the option-shift-hyphen type) instead of double hyphens, "kills" double capital letters, shifts punctuation, correct quotes (a la MSWord "smart" quotes). The good part is that, unlike OneSpace, you can turn these features off and on at will and have them only active in certain applications AND it does most of the work for you (i.e. inserts a single em-dash when you type -- inserts appropriate quotes when you type regular ones). look under /system.extensions/cdev/smartkeys2.0.cpt.hq UT/ISOTOPE 57 4/24/91 BinHex 4.0, Compact 1.3 Chemistry utility.
