The Comp.Sys.Mac.Programmer Digest is moderated by Mark Aiken (marka@ee.mcgill.ca). The digest is a collection of article threads from the internet newsgroups comp.sys.mac.programmer.help, csmp.tools, csmp.misc and csmp.games. It is designed for people who read news semi-regularly and want an archive of the discussions. If you don't know what a newsgroup is, you probably don't have access to it. Ask your systems administrator(s) for details. If you don't have access to news, you may still be able to post messages to the group by using a mail server like anon.penet.fi (mail help@anon.penet.fi for more information). Each issue of the digest contains one or more sets of articles (called threads), with each set corresponding to a 'discussion' of a particular subject. The articles are not edited; all articles included in this digest are in their original posted form (as received by our news server at ee.mcgill.ca). Article threads are not added to the digest until the last article added to the thread is at least two weeks old (this is to ensure that the thread is dead before adding it to the digest). Article threads that consist of only one message are generally not included in the digest. The digests can be obtained by email, ftp or through the World Wide Web.

Only PowerMenu's wide range of commands lets you: *Open selected files into any running application *Open selected files into any other application on your drive *Copy or make an alias of selected files into target folders of your choosing *Quickly open commonly used files or launch any application right from your Contextual Menu That's not all! PowerMenu also offers the following features: *A pop-up menu, accessible from any application, that lets you quickly open or launch your commonly used files and applications with a single click. *Fully hierarchical menus to allow you to group items into submenus for even faster access *Multithreaded operation; PowerMenu rebuilds your menus in the background while you work, so even very large menus appear instantly *Takes full advantage of the Contextual Menu under MacOS 8, but is still fully compatible with System 7! Version 2.0.1 (September 21st, 1997): Fixed memory handling and stability bugs in v2.0. Also added icons to the Quick Access popup menu and automatic stripping of leading spaces in alias names to help with item reordering. Also, aliases to folders are now not expanded by default; can still expand aliases to folders by putting a trailing plus on their name.

It will auto-redial your PPP provider until the connection succeeds, or disconnect if a connection is already active. As a side effect, the PPP connection dialog will (usually) be in the background (instead of being modal and in the foreground). This script uses Progress Bar, by Gregory H. Dow, to display status information. You can download Progress Bar from the Info-Mac archives, or edit the script to remove the routines that use it. AppleScript and OT/PPP are also required.

Barrus rbarrus@ix.netcom.com Subject: TEKS Master 1.0 Demo Announcing the release of TEKS Master 1.0. This software has been developed to expedite the distribution of the TEKS information to the educational community. The Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) was developed by the Texas Education Agency as a result of legislation contained in Senate Bill 1. TEKS were developed for sixteen content areas. This is the first significant revision of curriculum for public education since the Essential Elements were implemented in 1984. The most important features of TEKS Master Software are : * Works on most Macintosh=AE computers. * TEKS information can be retrieved quickly. * Specific text can be found using the find feature. * TEKS Master Software is a stand-alone application. (This means that you can install it on your Mac and use this software regardless of the word processor that you are using.) * You can export text to be used in other applications. * Does not require a lot of memory to run. * Can be distributed via intranet networks. * Each grade level has a seperate chapter for easy access. * Does not weigh 80 pounds and use three feet of shelf space like the paper version does. ( Measurements are approximations based on previous versions of the TEKS. :-) ) * Copies can be distributed at a fraction of the cost of printing, distributing and storing paper copies. =46or more information, please read the file enclosed, or contact me at rbarrus@ix.netcom.com.

Many other people (web publishers, designers, ...) also have the problem of managing numerous versions of their files. VOODOO spells the end of this version chaos by managing all versions of all files clearly and space-economically. While the graphical project browser of VOODOO can still be used to archive and access your versions, all BBEdit users can now benefit of our new BBEdit plugin that allows you to control VOODOO's mopst version control features directly from inside BBEdit. So you will no longer have to leave your favorite editor to perform your version control activities. Check it out - you'll like it. You will need version 1.8 of VOODOO http://www.unisoft.co.at/e/products/voodoo.html and version 4.5 of BBEdit http://www.barebones.com/bbedit.html to use this plugin. For Newcomers - What is VOODOO? =============================== VOODOO (Versions Of Outdated Documents Organized Orthogonally) is a stand-alone version control tool with a neat graphical user interface offering many features for the simple and clear management of projects in which files evolve in numerous versions. The tool manages not only variants and revisions of single files, but of whole software projects (multiple files, multiple users, multiple variants, access rights, project structure, project history, etc.). VOODOO differs from previous source code control systems in its orthogonal approach to version management. This means that for every component of a project hierarchy you can not only store its revision history but also different variants of the same component. The orthogonal organization of revisions and variants leads to a much clearer organization than with other tools which use trees for organizing variants and revisions.
