Author's email address: jbkezer@kagi.com If you have two or more Macintoshes, you probably notice that the clocks drift apart as time goes by. This can range from being a minor nuisance to a problem, especially if you do a lot of synchronizing between the Macintoshes. ClockSync II synchronizes the clocks between two or more Macintoshes, by setting the clocks of the "Servant"Macintoshes to that of a "Master" Macintosh. ClockSync has two components. The ClockSync Master runs continuously on the "Master" Macintosh, while the ClockSync Servant can be run on any other Macintosh on the network to update its time.

ConvertMachine is a processing utility to convert sound format files to a desired type. This means it performs one or more of the following without user interaction: decompression, resampling (sample rate conversion), mixing (stereo to mono) and compression. You don't need to worry about what format the file is in; all you specify is the desired output format. Finder Sound files (sfil), AIFF files, WAVE files, AU Mu-law and linear, QuickTime Audio (Movies) and Sound Designer II files can be freely converted. You can save your popular Settings under as a menu item or as a separate Settings file. The common web formats are flagged and ready to use as defaults, such as audio/basic mono 8kHz mu-law. After conversion files can be automatically sent to SoundMachine for playing. It needs at least QuickTime 2.1 and Apple's Sound Manager 3.1 or later. If you have installed System 7.5.3 then, no worries, you have these. If you want to get these or later extensions visit Apple's web site (grab QuickTime 2.5 which includes Sound Manager 3.2.1).

When printing to a laser printer, the dithering algorithms in these filters may be superior to the halftoning algorithms that are built into Photoshop. Why is that? Laser printers suffer from a problem called dot gain: isolated black pixels on the printed page are larger than they "should" be. In fact, a certain amount of dot gain is unavoidable: since the dots that a laser printer makes are round, each dot has to overlap slightly with its neighbors so that the laser printer can produce a solid black. What this means is that most laser printer output is slightly darker than it should be. In practice, most laser printers produce dots which are somewhat larger than this minimum necessary dot size, making the problem even worse. The two filters in the Photoshop Dither Filter package compensate for dot gain when they halftone an image. For more information see the enclosed README file or the web page, http://pertsserver.cs.uiuc.edu/~hull/halftone/ This version fixes a bug in VGDither, and adds some minor new features. The files in this archive were checked for viruses with Disinfectant 3.6. The file belongs in gst/grf/pshp/dither-filter-18.hqx and replaces dither-filter-16.hqx which is already there.

You can give buttons and fields colors and color pictures. Buttons can have color icons. You can cut, copy and paste color pictures and icons to and from the clipboard. You can move fields and buttons in color. The information about the color properties is stored within the buttons and fields, so eg. moving a button with a color icon requires only to move the button, not the button first, and then a color overlay. Version 1.03 contains my new web and e-mail addresses, otherwise it is identical to version 1.02. Since version 1.02 trueColor works with HyperCard 2.1 or later. This was possible, because an external function is used to collect part properties with the additional result that painting cards is now about 50-100% faster. As a side effect, trueColor is no longer slow in HyperCard 2.2 on PowerMacs that have Connectix SpeedDoubler installed. The screen is now locked before going from card to card. Color fillings are no longer shown on screens with less than 16 colors/grays (wrong colors were displayed). trueColor requires HyperCard 2.1 or later a 68020 or higher, preferably a PowerPC or a fast 68k Mac. Some features require 32-bit QuickDraw (included in Sys 7), QuickTime, or a monitor with at least 16 colors/grays. [Archived as /info-mac/dev/card/true-color-hc.hqx; 90K] ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 31 May 1997 08:11:40 -0700 From: astalder@webshuttle.ch Subject: [*] true-tools-103-hc.hqx trueTools contains these five stacks: truePrint lets you copy the card picture to the clipboard and, if you want, to print it. trueConvert converts stacks that use trueColor to stacks that are colorized using Apple's Color Tools. vue uses HyperCard's picture command (XCMD) to display pictures at full screen. You can view picture files, resources or the clipboard, zoom in and out, move around and take screen shots. JPEGtoPICT converts all JPEG files in a folder to jpeg-compressed PICT files, which are placed in a new folder. spider lets you weave your web pages in HyperCard. You create special, simple stacks in HyperCard and then convert them to web pages. All these stacks are intended for use with HyperCard 2.1 or later. For two of them (trueConvert and spider), you will also need a newer version of HyperCard Player (available free from Apple on the internet). Version 1.03 contains my new web and e-mail addresses and fixes a bug in the spider stack; otherwise it is identical to version 1.02. The spider requires AppleScript and the freeware program "clip2gif" by Yves Piguet.
