You can set the table size and ball size as you wish, and adjust speed and friction. The Aim Assist feature shows you which direction and how far the cue ball will go when you shoot. A Shot Status window shows who's turn it is, whether they've made a legal shot, etc., according to rules for either 8-Ball or 9-Ball. Version 9.2 fixes a shot status bug, tunes up side pocket action, fixes a key code entry problem, and puts the shot status info in the main window, among other things. Now you can play with a larger window. Registered users of versions 7 and later will not need to reregister. The Registration dialog gives more information on how to register. Registered users of versions 7 thru 9.1 will not need to reregister. You can use Stuffit Expander to install the copy you download. Email scottknudsen@compuserve.com for any questions. Good luck!!

This program is Mac OS 8.0, 8.6, and 9.0 savvy! What's New in 2.1? There are dozens of new features in 2.1, but most importantly, it fixes a bug in which the icons in OS 9 wouldn't be reset, and it now works on 68k Macs. I hacked the program down a bit to make it much less confusing, yet there is even more functionality! Desktop Resetter now supports sets! You can store multiple desktops. The program will now reopen windows that were closed as well. You can remember a desktop and should anything happen (even if a window closes), just reset the desktop and all will be back in business. A bug where icons with diacritical marks wouldn't be reset has been fixed. Desktop Resetter now stores all of its desktop settings files in its own folder. Please keep the program in its folder and just make aliases if you wish to move it to the desktop or the apple menu. If you don't, it will recreate a new settings folder. Desktop Resetter now supports windows and popup windows! It has a sleek new interface and works faster than before. To see the full list of features, be sure to check the Help section. What is Desktop Resetter? Desktop Resetter is a simple program used to remember the icon and window locations and sizes on the desktop. This information can be recalled at a later time. This is good if you play games or change resolutions frequently. It is also useful since some programs tend to either change resolution or somehow cause things on the desktop to scatter randomly. Crashing can also cause desktop items to do this. Now you won't have to withstand this unfortunate and annoying problem. Simply layout the desktop how you like it and 'Remember' the desktop's current setup. Should it get screwed up one way or another, just launch Desktop Resetter and 'Reset' the layout. In an instant, the windows and their sizes will snap back to the way they were, as will the icons. If a window was inadvertently closed, it will be reopened. ********** ABSTRACT CROPPED ********** [Archived as /info-mac/desktop-resetter.hqx; 815 K] ------------------------------ Date: From: Ger Subject: [*] Air Traffic Controller ATC v3.0 Take control of the airways around the major UK international airports and direct planes into and out of conjested airspace. This simulator is built upon the actual UK air corridors and the pressure mounts as the time ticks by with more and more planes appearing in your sector. Routing information is provided for all flights using actual waypoints. Version 3 includes 2 major improvements - stacks and pilot messages. Inbound aircraft can now be directed to stacks near the airports when the sky is getting congested. The planes circle the stack until you are ready to bring them on the final approach. The pilot messages help in identifying those planes passing the waypoints and hence that need directing to the next waypoint on their required route. ======================================== Note to Archivist.

CopyPaste is the shareware utility that was awarded a 5 mouse rating by MacUser and was their shareware utility of the year 1996. Shareware Junkies declared it Mac Product of the year for 1997. CopyPaste also appeared in the June 97 Wired and has been featured in MacWeek, TidBits, MacAddict and many other magazines. CopyPaste magnifies the clipboard in many different ways and has been declared indespensible by web developers, editors, writers, dtp professionals and everyone who uses the clipboard. One of the early wonders of the Mac was its revolutionary ability to do copy and paste across various applications. Unlike other areas in the Mac's system software that have changed and progressed over the years, copying and pasting has not evolved. How many times have you found yourself going back and forth copying in one application and pasting in a different application, wishing to yourself that you could copy 5-10 items at a time, then go to another application and paste each of these items. Now you can do not only this but view all 100 clipboards, save useful text and pictures thru restarts and much much more. **MacOS 9 compatible! **Many advanced features but easy for beginners! **Full Drag Drop compatibility! **Use up to 100 independent clipboards by menu or simple key commands! **View and access all the clipboard using the CopyPaste Palette! **Append text to 1 of 10 files on disk at any time! **Process text, picture and net data on the Clipboards in many ways! **Use a command key to switch and/or view all applications! **Works great with iType, iSearch, iCount and iView Multimedia! **New pop-up palette function and more! **Clip Recorder - remembers the last 10 items copied via command c. **Clip Archive - copied data is appended to one of 10 text files on disk. **Save Clipboards thru Restarts - allows all 100 Clipboards to be saved thru Shutdown or Restart.

It uses no complex math, but simply encodes one document (the target) by using a second document as a reference document or a 'one time scratch pad', as they call it in the cypher biz. Cyphercard does not just use simple pointers into the reference document, but modulates those pointers using offsets which are also taken from that document. It uses various other encoding techniques as well. None of this is complicated or tricky. It doesn't need to be. The security of the code is not compromised at all by knowing exactly how it was coded. All the security comes from the fact that the code depends on the reference document and the password. The upshot is that anyone who knows which reference document and password to use can decode any document that was encoded with that reference document and password. Anyone who does not know that document and password will not be able to decode the target document. Cyphercard requires a PowerPC Macintosh and Hypercard 2.4.

The idea is simple. Play takes place on a 3x3, 5x5 or 7x7 grid. In each position is a double-sided tile. One side of each tile is light in colour, the other side is dark. The tiles start out randomly turned to one side or the other. The object of the game is to get a particular pattern of dark and light coloured tiles on the grid. A tile that is flipped will flip some (or all) of its surrounding tiles. In the 5x5 and 7x7 game, the tiles that are flipped are always the 8 surrounding tiles. In the 3x3 game, the additional tiles that will be flipped vary depending on the location of the tile. Features -------- 3 levels of difficulty, with 10 patterns for each level. Unlimited Undo and Redo of all moves. A choice of graphics for the tiles in the game window. High Scores; the Best Time and Best Flip Count is recorded for each pattern, along with the name of the person who got them. Sound effects (optional, of course!)

For centuries, the I Ching has been used both as an oracle to predict the future, and as a source of deep wisdom. The querent asks a question, then drops three coins six times. Each drop determines one line of a hexagram, whether is solid or broken, moving or unmoving. The resulting six-lined figure is then interpreted. Even if you have no interest in divination, the I Ching can offer valuable insight into your own psyche, shedding light on how you really feel about a problem.
