A word ladder is a sequence of words made by changing one letter at a time; eg. LEAD LOAD GOAD GOLD. Given any two words, Alchemy will find the shortest ladder between them, or beep if none found. It can also find random ladders and longest ladders. Alchemy 1.3 is a Carbonized app that runs natively on OS X. It also runs on OS 8.6/9.x if CarbonLib 1.3 or later is installed. The shareware fee is $20.

Helps keep your Mac safe from your co-workers while at the office, and from your kids while at home. email: lockout@mauisoftware.com www: <http://www.mauisoftware.com> New for LockOut 4.1: - New background window option in General prefs: ScreenSaver. - New Security prefs: Clear session log. If set, the log clears when LockOut quits. - Password set from the File menu (instead of the Preferences). - Admin utility can disable the user from setting the password. - If the username is blank, LockOut fills it with the name from the File Sharing control panel, and if that fails, from the Internet control panel. New for LockOut 4.0: Below is a partial list of new features. € Admin mode is now set by a separate application called "LockOut Admin". This application is normally used by a system administrator type person. "LockOut Admin" allows enabling or disabling of LockOut functions. For example, the LockOut 'quit' function or any of the preferences can be disabled for whatever reason. € New Security preferences added: --- "Warn of any break-in attempts after exiting LockOut mode". If checked, and if any break-in attempts occur, an alert appears after exiting LockOut mode. --- "Switch to last application after exiting LockOut mode". If checked, after exiting LockOut mode the last application used prior to LockOut becomes the front application. --- "Use Keychain for password". If checked, LockOut stores and uses the password found in the default Keychain Access control panel. You can edit the Keychain Access control panel and add a new LockOut password item (Important: the Name must be LockOut, and the Account must be the user name used for LockOut). --- łAllow other apps to Quit LockOut without a password when in LockOut mode˛. If checked, allows other applications (like the Finder) to quit LockOut without LockOut requesting a password. € New General preferences added: -- "Hide Login window when in LockOut mode" hides the Login window until the mouse moves or a key is pressed. € Background picture can now be PICT, JPEG, TIFF, or GIFF file.

I took the best elements of each scheme, made a few pixel-to-pixel corrections, and created what I believe to be a ballanced sum. If you are a Kaleidoscope Scheme Designer, you are free to use any elements of the scheme you want, under the condition that you will clearly refer to their origin. iAqua is StudyThePastware & FightTheFutureware.

This script equals to manually typing "gnutar zcf" with Terminal. You can have a choice whether to add suffix or not. By default, the suffix is the date in yyyymmdd format. I build this script to save myself a few seconds every time I back up my files (which happens many times daily). This script is provided to you "AS IS" and the responsibility for its operation is yours.

File Adopter uses your Internet Config preferences to add type and creator codes to files that lack them. Typeless files are common on Mac OS X, and are a source of numerous frustrations. File Adopter works with simple drag and drop. It can replace existing type and creator codes if they disagree with Internet Config, or only add codes when they are absent. After adopting a file, it shows you the changes it has made. You can also hold down Shift to orphan a file, instead of adopting it. This is useful if you know that the file has incorrect codes but that the correct ones aren't in Internet Config.

The Swatch Beat is a new global concept of time that divides a day into 1000 units and defines a new global time zone. Each unit, called a beat, is equivalent to 1 minute 26.4 seconds, this means that 12 noon in the old time system is equivalent to 500 beats. Because mBeat uses the same timezone no matter where in the world you are it is an excellent way of coordinating online chats with your friends or business colleagues. Requires MacOS X For more information about mBeat or any of our other products surf to: http://homepage.mac.com/catara/products Path: files.tidbits.com/info-mac/app/time/mbeat-x-114.hqx Fri, 17 Mar 2006 18:45:55 -0800 http://www.applefritter.com/node/12484 Lingo Library 1.5   Product Description: Lingo is the powerful object oriented scripting Macromedia Director uses.

The plugin is intended to be used within the Director IDE (or so called Authoring Mode). The List Inspector will display lists (which are Lingo equivalent for array and matrix implementation) in a more comprehensible way than the square bracket littered list form. Linear and Property lists can be displayed, as well as sprites and parent script instances. The List Inspector has 3 visual modes: the first is the Record View, in which the list is displayed on a record-per-record basis. The second, the Table View, will display the list as a table, very similar as you would expect to see in any spreadsheet application. The third is the Tree View, making the inspection of nested lists easier than ever.
