Telephone Area Codes (US/Canada) A 4-letter Airport ID datafile is available for separate download since it is quite hefty (over 6600 records). If you cannot locate a datafile that you want please check out: http://www.netten.net/~montylee/AirportInfo.html ** OVERVIEW ** Airport IDs is a neat little utility that allows you to search for Airport/City locations by name or ID code. It returns all records that match your criteria (truncates list if over 32K characters). Registered users can display the location on a world map and export/import the database to make modifications/corrections as they desire.

CopyPaste adds 10 clipboards to the Mac. How often have you wanted to copy more then one item at a time before switching and pasting in another application? With CopyPaste you can copy 10 items at a time and paste them separately or all together. CopyPaste is simple to use. Before CopyPaste you used command c to copy an item now you just add a number like this, command c 7 (this copies the highlighted text or picture to clipboard number 7). CopyPaste has many other features like application switching and text processing which helped make it the shareware utility award winner of 96. Fixes and Features in version 3.2.2 * A memory leak was fixed which wasted memory when the Palette was open. * Using the keyboard function keys for is now off by default.

An upgrade to my privacy protecting encryption application which runs in native mode on Power Macintoshs. Version 2.6.1 fixes some bugs and adds some minor features: * Added reveal-invisible menu command for finding those invisible vaults. * Fixed a problem that prevented using Self-extracting vaults in version 2.6. * Fixed drag-manager crash with old (version 7.1 or older) system software. * Fixed minor window position problem with two monitors You should upgrade if you are using any previous version of Enigma. My file shredding application Burn is distributed separately to save download time. The most current version of Burn as of 01/05/97 is 2.4. Enigma remains fully compatible with previous releases. Enigma is an application which can provide near absolute protection for your sensitive documents and applications. By downloading this application you can encrypt files using a limited version of the Government Standard DES algorithm. For only $20 this can be upgraded to the full DES standard (US and Canada only). If you would prefer your neighbors not see your accounting data, your co-workers not see your performance appraisal, or your competitor see your trade secrets then Enigma is an application you will find very valuable. Enigma supports vaults which are like very securely locked file cabinets. Multiple files are stored in them. Files can be added, deleted, renamed, and extracted at any time. You can create folders inside the vault to organize your files better. Entire folders can be extracted or added in one operation. Security is enhanced because filenames and lengths are protected by encryption in addition to the contents. No other free or shareware encryption program offers the flexibility of Enigma vaults. You can also create self extracting vaults to send to friends and associates who do not have the Enigma application. Self extracting vaults are stand alone applications that cannot be opened without the proper key.

This program is not affiliated with the Dutch PTT, and works with CD's before June 1996. You have to supply the CD yourself. Those CD's contain only a DOS program, and we found that situation unacceptable, so therefore we wrote Foon4Mac, which is far better than the DOS program (imnsho). This program allows flexible access to the phone and address data, i.e. you could create a list of all addresses in Amsterdam, or of all addresses whose postcode starts with 102 or whatever combination you think of.

Project Gutenberg and many similar projects by individuals and institutions are already making libraries of electronic text (etext) freely available via the internet. Improvements in scanning technologies mean that it is increasingly affordable for organizations and individuals to create their own etexts. But how are we to work with these documents? Palimpsest addresses this need, with a powerful new hypertext application for working with etext. Palimpsest is ideal for anyone whose work involves documents. This includes secondary and higher education students of literature, history, law or any subject which involves working with written material. Teachers, academics, researchers, lawyers, religious scholars and others would all benefit from this complete system. Palimpsest * provides a space for organizing collections of related documents * incorporates unique hypertext features to help you annotate, cross reference, and give outline structures to your own work, and the documents you are working with. * features sophisticated but easy to use searching, as well as novel hypertext reporting features. Palimpsest 1 Lite PPC is limited in the number of new documents that it can create.

Four are scripting additions, File IO, XCMD OSAX, Copy File, ResMover and they are installed in the Scripting Additions folder in the Extensions Folder. Once the renaming is done, you can remove them, but if you are an AppleScript buff, you might want to check them out. The readme for XCMD OSAX is also included. The three remaining files, including this README are installed wherever you want them. Requires: * System 7.5.x * AppleScript 1.1.x * Finder Scripting Extension * At least 4 megs of RAM =09 I'm sure that by now, most serious Mac users have upgraded to at least System 7.5. If not, what are you waiting for?! But any System 7.5.x user will tell you that once you do, you'll lose the individuality of your Mac. All the machine names have been replaced by either " Macintosh," " Power Macintosh," or " PowerBook" depending on the kind of Mac you have. There are a few programs out there that help to remedy this problem, but unfortunately, they are memory eating extensions that must always be loaded to work. MacNamer is an AppleScript applet that uses two non-standard Scripting Additions (included), and Finder scriptability (included with System 7.5.x) to edit your active system file. Don't worry, I've tested this out on a few machines running a different versions of system 7.5.x, and it works fine. It even backs up the old copy of the system file for you. And, not only will MacNamer give your Mac back it's real name, but any name you want (up to 255 charcters)! To use it, simply double-click on the MacNamer icon, and let it do the rest. As with any resource editing, ALWAYS disable virus protection BEFORE you run the program. It won't hurt the original if you don't, but you could and probably will damage the edited version. After it finishes, it will restart your Mac. If you have any comments or bug reports, send them to marcus@ocala.cs.miami.edu. This program is free for individual use. Please, if you want to put this on an archive CD, let me know. Also, check out my web site and library of cgis that I've written for UNIX and Mac at http://ocala.cs.miami.edu/~jmcla.

Project Gutenberg and many similar projects by individuals and institutions are already making libraries of electronic text (etext) freely available via the internet. Improvements in scanning technologies mean that it is increasingly affordable for organizations and individuals to create their own etexts. But how are we to work with these documents? Palimpsest addresses this need, with a powerful new hypertext application for working with etext. Palimpsest is ideal for anyone whose work involves documents. This includes secondary and higher education students of literature, history, law or any subject which involves working with written material. Teachers, academics, researchers, lawyers, religious scholars and others would all benefit from this complete system. Palimpsest * provides a space for organizing collections of related documents * incorporates unique hypertext features to help you annotate, cross reference, and give outline structures to your own work, and the documents you are working with. * features sophisticated but easy to use searching, as well as novel hypertext reporting features. Palimpsest 1 Lite is limited in the number of new documents that it can create. Palimpsest is available for US$50 for a one year subscription entitling you to all upgrades, technical support and more. See For more on the features of Palimpsest, see our web site, System Requirements Any Macintosh (68030, 68040 or PowerPC Mac recommended) System 7 or greater 3.5 MB of RAM available for Palimpsest (4 MB is recommended) (Virtual Memory is acceptable) John Allsopp Western Civilisation [Archived as /info-mac/text/palimpsest-101.hqx; 1813K] ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Jan 1997 16:36:40 -0500 From: pcantrel@macalester.edu (Paul Cantrell) Subject: [*] Persian Rug 1.0 Perisan Rug is a control panel that generates wild fractal desktop patterns for your Mac's desktop on the spot.

Sorry but so far I've found no time to translate the source file >From Think Pascal to Code Warrior to compile a native Power PC version. The people at Code Warrior scrambled everything, so I have to learn again. As promessed, I also include a full tutorial in two stand alone applications developed with DocMaker version 4.5, so that you won't a need now a word processor to read or print its content. The first part of the Tutorial describes the basics and foundations of survival analysis with both parametric and non parametric models. In the second part, a practical application of Survival and the use of the different options are illustrated with different examples. Version 6.1.4b include these new features: - The graphic interface hase been redesigned to make it more frendly for the user and has more options. - An option for non parametric survival analysis with Competing Risks has been included. This option is still under test, but seems to work reliably. A Data set for training is included in this pack. - The problems that surged when making stratified analysis with tied surviva= l times have been fixed. Now you may work evenwith heavy tied data. The iterative algorirthm used in previous version to estimate the survival function for tied data has been refined and now is an option. - Some bugs (minor) have also been fixed which mainly affected the function of the graphic interface and some dialog boxes when switching from English to Spanish. - The on-line Help file has been updated to reflect the last changes.
