The 'collective' of TopSoft Inc., a not-for-profit software programming group, is proud to announce the first public release of the ABox, also known as TSAbout, available for use within your non-commercial applications (be sure to read the license that comes with the ABox software, and all other TopSoft software packages). We wanted to come up with something that no-one had ever really seen or done before, much like our guiding principle for the FilterTop software, and release it as part of the FilterTop package as well as its own package. The ABox supports nearly all of the way-cool-nifty-gee-i-gotta-have features that Apple has been cranking out for System 7 and beyond. It supports QuickTime, the Text-to-Speech Manager, Drag-and-Drop, the Asynchronous Sound Manager, the old Threads Package, the new Threads Manager, is PowerPC capable via UPP's instead of ProcPtr's...you get the idea The ABox is really just a set of C++ classes that have a rather API for client software, based mainly upon the early documentation regarding Apple's Speech Recognition Manager; the ABox has an object-oriented "properties" driven API, where instead of providing lots of methods to do lots of things, there are a handful of methods to do lots of things. Most importantly, all client-adjustable features of the ABox are driven through a pair of easy to use methods that are documented in the ABox demo application and the web pages. Most importantly, the ABox can be used to display a set of Topics and Slides, which makes it useful for tasks such as enhanced about boxes, online reference, help, etc. Topics are really just files within a folder-tree, where each file is either a QuickTime movie, a text file (normal TEXT and SimpleText 'ttro'), a PICT file, or a file that contains a 'TSAb' resource which instructs the ABox which resources should be grouped together as Slides within the Topic (much like icon families...a group of resources that share the same ID). By pointing the ABox at the root of some folder tree containing files with 'TSAb' resources, you can make the ABox display a hierarchical list of topics that the user can then browse Oh, by the way...adding the ABox to your projects will add about 49K (even less when compiled and built with the latest Metrowerks CodeWarrior compiler! And now, some current news about the ABox... ------------------- Web Stuff: The _new_ ABox web pages are installed and available on the TS-Mac, so point your web surfers at: http://www.topsoft.org to see the TopSoft Home Page, which has a link to the ABox pages, or you can go directly to the ABox pages via http://www.topsoft.org/Projects/ABox/AB_Welcome.html ------------------- Current Versions: The current verion of the ABox software is v1.8, and is available as part of the FilterTop software release or as the ABox source & demo release, available via anonymous ftp to the TS-Mac (ftp.topsoft.org) or atlas (atlas.chem.utah.edu) ------------------- Please, take some time out during your web surfing and check out TopSoft's home page, and while you're at it grab a copy of the ABox for a test drive. thanks in advance george (ty) tempel dosgatos@injersey.com Path: /www/exparrot/files.tidbits.com/info-mac/dev/lib/a-box-18.hqx Fri, 17 Mar 2006 19:31:59 -0800 http://www.applefritter.com/node/12960 Date: Fri, 18 Nov 1994 14:23:25 -0500 This shell was created to demonstrate the correct way to use AppendDITL(), CountDITL(), and ShortenDITL() Dialog Manager calls in System7.

The Universal Hint System provides step-by-step solutions to puzzle-based games, like graphic adventures and role-playing games. Hints are revealed only as you need them, beginning with subtle clues and ending with the complete solution. UHS for MacOS 4.0 gives you access to all of the hint files on the UHS web site (http://www.uhs-hints.com), including over 100 files for Macintosh games! Features: --------- - Support for PowerPC and 68K. - Hints for over 100 Macintosh games. - Support for all UHS formats. - Support for embedded images (requires QuickTime� 3.0). - Easy conversion of UHS files to Game Doctor prescriptions. - Comprehensive online help and help balloons. - Commercial look-and-feel at a shareware price. Where Can I Get UHS Files? -------------------------- UHS files are available at several locations on the Internet, but the best place to get them is from the offical UHS website at <http://www.uhs-hints.com>. Check this site often for the newest files and UHS-related news. Since most of the UHS files you download will be in ".zip" format, you will need a utility to "unzip" them. We recommend a shareware utility like PKZip, or a commercial utility like Stuffit Deluxe. Warning: Some utilities provide the option to strip non-Macintosh characters from text files if they originate from a different platform. Since UHS for MacOS uses UHS files in their original format, you must disable this feature or the file will be damaged. For example, before you use Stuffit Deluxe to unzip a UHS file, open the Stuffit preferences and set the "Convert files to Macintosh format" option to "Never". What Is Game Doctor? -------------------- Game Doctor is a collection of game enhancements (called "prescriptions") developed by Illume Software. Currently, the collection contains over 400 prescriptions, with specialized viewers for hints, cheats, patches, and walkthroughs. Game Doctor is available on our website at <http://users.aol.com/illumesoft/illume.html>.

Please replace an old version info-mac:/dev/lib/advanced-io-cpp.hqx which you currently have. The most significant change is a 4-line tweak with sharing of an i/o buffer (which became necessary as CW8 has changed the way virtual classes are destroyed). The current implementation hopefully gets rid of these specific dependencies for good. All projects and the library are recompiled with CW8. For the first time it became possible to use PowerPC alignment of structures in the CW projects that use C++ streams (it crashed before). c++advio: Various advanced i/o codings of streams of integers Keywords: arithmetic coding, start-stop coding, endian i/o, compression Hot points: - variable-bit coding of sequences of integers (including the Arithmetic compression) - explicit endian specification in dealing with integer streams - a trick of sharing a stream buffer (a "file") among several streams - with a validation code to verify everything - with a commented source and CW8 projects Please see a README file for more details.

Download the original JARED and other toys at: http://www.freeverse.com/freeverse/toys/ >From the liner notes of Jared's first album, "Touching you, Touching me... touching you again." While Central America has seen more than its share of atrocities in recent years; never before has a lovely Guatemalan folk song been brutalized as thoroughly as by the vocal stylings of JARED, the Head of Security at FREEVERSE SOFTWARE. Like an angry Immigration officer, Jared's distinctive rendition grabs us, slaps us around, threatens to cavity search us and ultimately demands our passport be issued from that same circle of hell from which his voice originates. Never has the mating of cats sounded so melodic as after one has listened to "El Carnicero de Canciones." the "Butcher of Songs," as Jared was known in Guatemala. Yet, this is perhaps the worst part, one is somehow drawn to his song, playing it over and over again. So listen to, "Shayla-uuugh", and suffer -- for this is art. www.freeverse.com Path: /www/exparrot/files.tidbits.com/info-mac/gst/snd/jared-butcher-of-mp3.hqx Fri, 17 Mar 2006 22:25:59 -0800 http://www.applefritter.com/node/15253 InfinaTracker will let you use up to 100 trackers with your Hotline client.

Not to be outdone, both Power Computing and DayStar have debuted new Mac clonesãwith Power's new PowerTower clocking in at 180MHz! MacSense is a little on the heavy side this month! In addition to our regular content, we've include two new QuickCharts to give you a side-by-side comparison of Apple's latest products. Also in June's issue: Did you know that your PowerBook 5300 can talk AND hear? See AppleBits for the nitty gritty. In Brave New World, John N. talks offers a few choice words about commercial software. Meanwhile, over in Cerebreality, Greg Kramer ponders how very virtual virtual reality actually is. The Game Warden has stopped whining long enough to write up a column entitled "Happy Happy Fun Day," and, finally, Jim Hines weighs in this month with an article exploring the mystique of Apple's "1984" television commercial. All MacSense readers who use Netscape will be pleased to see our new "Launch URL" feature. In AppleBits, QuickBits and NetBits, you'll now find a URL-launching button adjacent to stories which include URLs. To use, simply make sure your Netscape application is open and connected to the Internet. Then, from within MacSense, click on the desired URL button.
