ZipIt allows you to compress files and send them to friends and coworkers working on PCs, Unix machines, or any other platform where the zip compression format is standard, and to unzip any zip file as well. ZipIt is fully compatible with all versions of PKZip, WinZip, and Info-Zip. In addition, ZipIt allows you to compress Macintosh files without losing essential Macintosh data. In version 1.4, ZipIt is smarter about which files are Macintosh files, and which are not, allowing you to easily transmit zip files to Mac and PC colleagues with no extra hassle. ZipIt version 1.4 also adds the ability to create self-extracting zip archives that will operate either on a Mac or a PC running Windows. Now you don't have to worry about whether or not the person you're sending your zip file to has an unzipping program. If you specify that the archive should be self-extracting, then the recipient merely double-clicks on the archive, and it will unzip itself. ZipIt is fully AppleScriptable, meaning that you can automate its operation and perform complex and repetitive archival tasks. Version 1.4 significantly enhances ZipIt's AppleScript capabilities. ZipIt is $15 shareware. The ZipIt web site may be found at http://www.maczipit.com. ZipIt may be included on CD-ROM shareware collections, provided that the CD-ROM is not sold for profit, beyond a distribution or compilation charge. ZipIt may also be included on CD-ROMs that accompany a technical book or publication.

The goal of Space Mercs varies depending upon which game set is being used, but usually you are trying to make as much money for your nation as you can. The player that makes the most wins. To make money, your nation has dropped you off into a distant mining zone. You are to scuttle around picking up the ore deposits that appear. After an ore deposit is brought on board, your processing equipment starts refining it. Once complete, the valuable extract is beamed home; your nation cashes in, and rewards you with some credits of your own. The mining zones are located in disputed space, and you will most likely find miners from other nations competing for the same ore. Fitted with weapons, you hope to at least defend yourself if not swipe some ore harvested by others. When your ship is destroyed, your emergency eject device sends you home where you are fitted with another ship. Soon enough, you'll be back to try and redeem yourself. When a zone is cleared out and all ore processed, you return home. If the expedition was good, you should be able to refit your ship in preperation for the next trip... All of these sets were made with the built-in editor. With ease you can alter any aspect of the game: weapon damage, mass, engine power, everything! Also, in the resource fork of your game set, you can store alternate graphics and sounds to give your game set a thematic flare. System Requirements: * 256 colors * 13" monitor or larger (supports 640x480 and will use 832x624 if possible) * 4MB RAM * CPU: not sure about this one yet. 040's should work fine, low end 030's might not. Let me know how it goes, and I might look into some more optimization. http://www.best.com/~rstewart (don't expect much of a page) :) Scott Miller millers@cs.ucdavis.edu Path: /www/exparrot/files.tidbits.com/info-mac/game/arc/space-mercs-95.hqx Fri, 17 Mar 2006 20:40:59 -0800 http://www.applefritter.com/node/15568 I believe that SONY at one time was worried about Apple computers playing their games. Here is a new speech synthesis instructive dance game that SONY (at least a new sort of "hearing aid") can play with Newton. If you are interested and already have Newton speech synthesis, check out my freeware and its idea. My "Dance" is a newton program that tells dance moves with or without coaching on how to do them. It plays the step list in random sequences so that you can learn to firm up your lead. The strongest most painful way to learn lead is to not have the woman hear what the move is your Newton says to you. She has no way of knowing except through your lead (unless you cheat and tell her what Newton said) what move is coming next. You will make mistakes, it will be embarrassing, with a kind partner you will learn. You may practice a subset of the full steplist and work up to the full steplist challenge. A dance partner might prefer to practice this "silent treatment" in private lest they associate the Newton program with public embarrassment. It can be learned! My partner and I have and we aren't afraid to use the Newton in public together. In the private partnering environment, the woman can more graciously suggest how the man's lead could be made less confusing, so that the man can learn the lead without an impartial arbiter. This is frightening at first outside the normal dance instruction context with the teacher superior and no such discussion allowed as disruptive to the rest of the class. This new context of discussion of dance with a partner is very very interesting to me. So, for best results, practice privately and make a hearing aide arrangement I have made. It is cumbersome and I wish SONY would make a spread spectrum connection to a wireless ear "dancing hearing aide". For my "el cheapo version", you can use a radio shack phone pickup and (use a candle, two mending braces, c clamps) bent piece of lexan to suction pickup onto near Newton speaker and run a earphone wire inside your shirt to your ear. The dance notes might be exceptionally meaningful only to me as I own the project and can constantly revise them. I am not out to teach you dancing, but rather the idea of my Dance package. When you get the idea, you might make it come alive with improvements. Maybe one of you will make a more fascile interface. Maybe someone will invent a forarm Newton holster so all screen buttons are readily accessible and it will be more "quick on the draw". Right now I have a side holster and ready access only to the on/off button. When a dance begins, I must take the newton out and choose the dance type while the nervous dance instructor complains I should get on with dancing.
