Designed for use by pupils aged 9+, it is an exciting and stimulating introduction to the most significant book in human history. Pupils are introduced to the Bible and what is in it with mini tests and activities with hypertext information at hand. The user is gradually taken through the process of looking up Bible books, then chapters and finally homes in on verses before a test to use these skills. QuizVerse makes use of the skills learnt in BC&V in a fun quiz based on Bible verses. The extendable design lets you add more questions complete with multiple clues and multiple answers. Helpful on-line documentation is provided for teachers to help you to use Book, Chapter & Verse and QuizVerse straight away in the classroom. Colour graphics and visual effects bring the topic to life as well as stimulating quizzes to hold the attention of younger users. No teacher supervision is necessary and the program makes the most of the traditional intuitive Mac interface. Like 'The Hajj' this program is already used in several schools in the UK.

If you don't use Eudora, you don't need it. If you have only one e-mail account, you might still want to use it, because it automatizes the whole process of: - launching Eudora with the desired settings, - opening the PPP connection, - sending any queued mail, - getting the mail from your POP account, - closing the PPP connection, and finally - filtering the received mail. It uses the minimum amount of on-line time needed, thus saving you money. It's also very handy to put an alias to it into the Startup Items folder, so that your computer will automatically check your mail whenever switched on.

Description: Flex Processor Interactive Control Interface is a gesture synthesizer that simulates physical interaction with musical instruments. It permits performance of realistic gestures or "licks" using standard keyboard controllers. It has a modular programming architecture similar to that of a modular tone synthesizer. This is a fully operable demo with a manual and sample patches. There is also an text file containing the story of the research that led to this rare find. This is fascinating information that draws from fields like Music Perception and World Music Theory, and should be of interest to all synthesizer users.

This version, 6.0, offers the largest enhancement to this outliner in the three years of its development. I have paid careful attention to every outliner available for the Mac, including MORE 3.1, Acta and InfoDepot, as well as the outlining modes of FullWrite, MS Word and PowerPoint. John's WordPerfect Outlining exceeds the feature set, and in most cases the flexibility and overall power and ease of use, of any other outliner.

There are lots of desktop calculators out there. Why one more? I made this one for my own personal use, because I wanted a RPN calculator, but not that huge monsters I've seen around, almost complete implementations of scientific HP machines. Those were great calculators, but they fill almost the whole screen with tens of buttons and switches. At the end of one week I usually was back to the classic Apple calc, because it's small, fast, doesn't create auxiliary files on the disk, and don't have big manuals. So, the first goal on Kalk design was to make its window the same size of Apple's. Then remove all digit buttons from the panel, making area for more information (6 or 17 of the 30 levels of the stack are shown). The only buttons remaining are those used everytime and those that are hard to remember without a label (Drop, Swap, Enter, Undo, Change Sign, Clear). Digits are entered via keyboard, and the special functions are grouped on the "Kalk" menu. Using Kalk is very like doing simple math on a 28- or 48-series HP calculator. As for the Apple calc, the numeric keypad of your keyboard (hope you have one) is the best choice. There is now a WWW home page about Kalk in general. If you're interested, please look http://www.lmf-di.puc-rio.br/~terra/kalk/kalkHome.html I've attached a HTML file to the Kalk release, so you can simply open the "Visit Kalk Home.html" file in your WWW browser instead of typing this string. The page also contains information about the ports of Kalk to Unix and Windows. Changes for this version: 1.1 Window now can grow to show 17 levels of the stack. Added Power (x^y) function to the Kalk menu. Fixed a bug on Kalk menu (not reported by any user, but very ugly). Released 961219, on tiny 68K and bigger FAT versions.

ProCreation is a state-of-the-art artificial-life simulator, unlike any other : * It has an extremely simple, slick interface - all controls are 'live'. * It can cope with enormous world sizes - over 4 million cells per 1Mb memory. * It is blindingly fast - e.g. 17 million cells per second on a 66MHz 601. * It automatically wraps the world - infinite scrolling in all directions. The Artificial Life game was originally developed by James Conway and is the basis of hundreds of implementations on every conceivable platform. Version 1.1 Improvements ======================== * Generation calculation speed increase of 60%. * Inverted display and full screen options. * Randomisation improved, better multitasking behaviour. ProCreation is distributed as a fat application, and requires System 7. It is shareware, and may be included on any archive if the entire package is present.

It allows users to enter/retrieve their software's serial reg number into/from a database by simply dragging-and-dropping icons on top of Regis. Why use Regis? Have you ever upgraded to a new version of some software or called for technical support over the phone? Then you know that it's important to keep the registration serial number of your software around so you can identify that you're the legitimate owner of the programs you've purchased. But if you're like me, you have your registration information written on scraps of paper or kept in manuals and boxes you've scattered somewhere. And when it's time to upgrade to new versions, you cringe at the thought of entering a twenty-character code for your commercial or shareware apps. (You DO register and pay for your shareware, don't you?) The solution: use Regis to maintain your serial numbers! Regis is a FAT application, meaning it needs to exercise more and eat less. Additionally, it can run native on both 68K and PowerPC ISAs. It has been tested on a 7100/80 and a Quadra 630. Feel free to include Regis on the archive's CD-ROM collection.
