Subject: [*] Full-der 1.1 color scheme/Fake-8 info
A little while back, I created a small group of cut-and-paste icons,
borrowed from Mac OS 8 screen-shots, and named it "Fake-8." As Fake-8
grew into a formidable set of ResEdit icon-improvements, aimed at System
7 and '030 users, so did it's demand. With this latest release, Fake-8
climbs to a higher level of customization and accessibility.
Enclosed in this package, you'll find more than just a color-scheme
preview. With the registration of my first public color-scheme,
"Full-der," a ONE-YEAR SUBSCRIPTION to Fake-8 comes along. The
subscription will allow users to have new Fake-8 additions while they're
still new, along with other Extensions (including floppy and cursor
enhancements), Icons (especially those that cover up that ugly
hard-drive one), Desktop Patterns, color-scheme, and updates in order
to make your Fake-8 experience more complete than a color-scheme alone
can accomplish.
With the promise of the ultimate level of customization comes the final
aspect of owning a Fake-8 subscription: each subscription owner is
entitled to one CUSTOM piece of software per year. Have a JPEG/PICT
that you'd like to see tiled all over your desktop? Got an idea for a
cursor (other than that old arrow)? Maybe you'd like your floppy disk
or CD-ROM icons to have a new look. If you have the image (for desktop
patterns), icons (for floppy/CD-ROM replacements), or even just a sketch
done in ClarisWorks (for cursors), YOUR custom software, conceived and
dreamed of by YOU, can be made a reality with just a simple e-mail.
Here's how a subscription works: once a month, subscription owners will
receive an e-mail attachment of UNDER 100K. For the once-a-year FREE
customization mentioned above, all resources must be mailed to the
owner. All packages are delivered ELECTRONICALLY, via e-mail enclosure.
Fake-8 started as a means of providing '030-users with some of the
Appearance enhancements denied by Mac OS 8. A subscription, for ONLY
$5.00, takes that idea one step further, benefitting not only
'030-users, but owners of ALL Macs. If you are interested in keeping
your Mac looking new, if you are interested in the ULTIMATE level of
custimization, purchase a Fake-8 subscription.
Requirements:
e-mail software capable of receiving/downloading enclosures
at least a 256-color (8-bit) Macintosh or compatible
System 7.1
Kaleidoscope 1.5 (for color-scheme support)

ImageUtilities CMM is a suite of Contextual Menu Manager plug-ins for Mac
OS 8. It contains two CMM plug-ins which let you quickly convert and view
any kind of picture.
You can finally view any picture just by control-clicking its icon,
without needing a viewer application! And with no effort, you can convert
GIF, JPEG, Photoshop or any other kind of picture files to PICTs or
QuickTime Image Files.
Version 1.1 of the plug-ins fixes a problem that sporadically prevented
the commands from appearing in contextual menus, and also adds a few
features.
ImageUtilities CMM takes advantage of QuickTime 3 if available, letting
the user view and convert more kinds of pictures.
If the Claris XTND System is installed, you can also convert and view
pictures that QuickTime doesn't recognize.
Another collection of CMM plug-ins, MovieUtilities CMM, is available. It
lets you convert and merge movies as well as import and export movie
tracks. Both packages can be purchased together for $20.

Subject: [*] Intelligent Chaos 1.1
Intelligent Chaos (IC) is a simple tool which allows You to study the
emergence of chaotic behaviour in the logistic equation and related
iterations. Of course there already exist plenty of programs that makes
beautiful chaotic graphs, but You will never understand chaos theory
without looking at the actual numbers. That is what You can do with IC,
in great detail. The equation used is a*x*(1-x), but in future versions,
you will be able to change this. The chaotic parameter (a) is given the
default value 3.5699, that is just below the point where chaos sets in,
but the idea is of course that You should let i vary from 2 to 4. Use
Balloon help to get info about the controls.
The included CrossBasic sourcecode shows how the execution of the
equation works.

System 7 scheme under Mac OS 8. It also lets you switch schemes simply
by double-clicking them in the Finder, and there are many fixes and
improvements. Arlo Rose, former Apple HI design lead, has taken over
for Fred Bass, and he has updated all of the included schemes.

Subject: [*] PovMacPPCUnofficial 3.0.2r2b2 - New version
This version 3.0.2r2b removes some bugs. Visit our home page or read the
history.txt file in this archive to get an overview! PovMacPPCUnofficial
is an alternative to the official 'POV-Ray PPC' (V3.0.2a) application.
It includes the same features but has great speed improvements and
powerfull utilities! It's a ray tracer which reads a text file
describing the objects and lighting in a scene, and it generates an
image of that scene from the view point of a camera, also described in
the text file. It produces very high quality (3D) images with realistic
reflections, schading, perspective, texture and other effects. Utilities
( making up one application with POV-Ray): MultiCopy, Point Connector,
Rotator, Extruder, Blob Connector, Path Walker, Curve
Connector,RawToPov. All docu and many example scenes included in this
archive!
System requirements: System 7.1 or later (tested on 7.5.x and 8) Power
Macintosh with at least 8 MB of free RAM (after start up) Expanded
archive needs about 7.5 MB of hard drive space ColorQuickdraw Other
requirements: A text editor (linke BBEdit )

Subject: [*] Program Switcher v4.4.3
For a long time, Windows(tm) users have enjoyed the ease of being able to
switch between running applications with the alt-tab keystroke. Many Mac
users, while not envious of the other operating system, wished the
MacOS(tm) would have a similar feature. Program Switcher is meant to not
only add that feature to your Macintosh, but also improve on it so that
the other operating system's users will wish their alt-tab feature was as
good as the Mac's.
Features include:
- Seven different switching themes
- The ability to quit any number of applications at one time
- The ability to hide specific applications with a keystroke
- User configurable keys and appearance
- MacOS 8 Appearance Manager and Kaleidoscope savvy
- MacOS 8 Contextual Menus support
- Much More!
You may download Program Switcher from the Program Switcher web site at:
http://www.kamprath.net/claireware/program_switcher.html
New in this version:
- Fixed the window "activation blink" that would occur in some
programs when switching.
- Made preference updates "live"
- A few other interface tweaks

Subject: [*] TableCloths 2.1M
TableCloths has long been the ONLY source for authentic Scottish-tartan
desktop patterns for the Macintosh. As part of the original release of
TableCloths, I also attempted to include a set of musical instrument
desktop patterns which, though also difficult to find, really have
little business being packaged with a collection of plaids. The number
of registered users (or should I say "the lack of") should've been a
strong testimony of that fact to me long before it actually was...
In pondering over "what went wrong," I remembered exactly why I started
making desktop patterns in the first place - I didn't like what was
available out there AT ALL. The new version of TableCloths, TableCloths
2.1 is borne from this philosophy...
Customization is a big factor when it comes to the Macintosh, and
customization defined is the ability to make something look how YOU want
it to. While downloading other peoples' software allows you to come
close to waht you think your Mac should ultimately look like, it still
is never really exactly what you had in mind.
TableCloths 2.1 is now available in two separate editions (musical
instrument and tartan) for ONLY $5. You pay for ONLY what you want.
However, there's still more...
With the growth of the Internet, so grows the popularity of software
"subscriptions." With such a subscription, files are compressed and
distributed regularly via e-mail enclosure. Again, TableCloths breaks
new ground by becoming the first INDEFINITE software subscription
available, with updates, editions, and add-ons coming, via e-mail, twice
a year.
The ultimate level of customizaton would be (theoretically) the ability
to have YOUR pictures be made into desktop patterns, and to be able to
select the patterns sent to your e-mail address YOURSELF. TableCloths
transforms theory into reality. Registered users are allotted one
customization per year, meaning that, if you have a picture in ANY
format (so long as it's already on your computer) that you'd like to
have tiled across your desktop, e-mail it as an enclosure to
mfiske@kagi.com. Or if you'd like to select what comes in your next
TableCloths "issue," including desktop patterns or custom alert sounds
to go with a pattern you already have, e-mail me at the same address,
and let me know what you'd like. You'll receive your CUSTOM software
two to three weeks later.

VCD Player simplifies the process of playing video compact discs on your
Mac. With most other players, you only get video in a tiny area of your
screen, or in an area surrounded by a huge border of some sort. VCD
Player smoothes the video playback process and allows you to watch
full-screen movies in the MPEG format, without any headache-inducing
distortion to make the movie unwatchable. There are various configurable
options that control sound and playback, and just as with a sound-only CD
player, you can control which track to start watching.
System Requirements
- Power Macintosh
- QuickTime 2.5 or later
- QuickTime MPEG Extension 1.0 or later
What's new in 1.4.5?
- VCD Player now can remember where you stopped, after you quit the
program,
restarted your mac, or even changed to another disc then changed back.

My guess would that since MacBugs says that it is a emulator error that you
are running programs that are not PowerPC native or portions of the
programs are not PowerPC native. If you didn't have MacBugs installed you
would probably be getting Type 11 Errors. Try reinstalling the problem
programs or make sure any extensions you are running are PPC native.
Hope that helps a little.

Subject: Novell network
You can install Novell NetWare client for MacOS v5.11 and that would do
what you want. If you install the client, available from
support.novell.com, you will have access to NetWare printers and volumes.
You don't use the Chooser like you would if you were using AppleShare, but
with the utilities supplied with the client, you can mount the volumes and
have them show up on the desktop just like AppleShare.
You may even talk to you network admin and see if they could load the
server side of the Mac client that comes with the download. The module it
installs is called MACFILE.NLM and it enables the NetWare server to create
a desktop file and make things more Mac-like. It'll still work, it just
looks better with MACFILE.NLM loaded on the server.
If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me. I work with NetWare
3.12, 4.10 and 4.11, of which we have 2 4.10 servers with MACFILE.NLM
loaded. I might be able to help out a little more if you need specifics.
