I have uploaded one other map, Island of Imperialism, to the archive, but this is probably the better of the two. I made some other maps, but I didn't think them worth uploading to the archive. I actually made the map a few years ago, but don't seem to have uploaded it, so I am doing so now. The map consists of four islands. The two larger islands in the northwest and east are reasonably forested, while the central and southwestern islands have no trees at all, making it necessary to import trees from the larger two islands. The northwest island is the largest and probably the most valuable island of the four. It has lots of forest, which makes many of the bases open to sneak attacks. It has several bases and pills scattered throughout it, but the best spot is in the northwest corner, where there are four bases and four pills. However, this little fortress is surrounded by a river and plenty of swampland, which will make it a little difficult to overtake. However, once you own this base, you will find it quite defendable. The eastern island is rather large but consists of mostly forest, although there are a few bases and pills. There's a nice little island in the center of the map that contains two bases. It is fairly open to invasion because its location in the center of the map makes it rather accessible, and may be on the front lines. However, it's defended by shallow water, which causes spiking to take a little extra effort if you put some pills on it. By the time your enemy gets onto the island, (s)he will be well within the range of your pills. The southwest island is really just a large maze with several bases and pills. It could be a nice fortress, but it doesn't have any trees, so you need to import them from somewhere else in order to build defenses. I usually leave this island alone until I am able to make myself established on the northwestern or eastern islands, but you may find it useful. Island of Imperialism Island of Imperialism is my first really playable map. I made one other, 4 Isles of Doom, which is probably better than this one. However, I still think that this one is okay. I made lots of other maps as well, but most were not worth uploading here, so only these two will be uploaded. I actually made this map a few years ago, but it seems I never uploaded it to the archive, so I will do so now. The idea for the island was partially inspired by Everard Island and partially by Boulley's Bolo Maps, which I liked and which can probably still be found on the info-mac archive. The island's shape is pretty generic, about the size of Everard but more rounded. The map is rather heavily forested, especially in the southeastern parts of the map.

Deskpop is a Control Strip module which lists all volumes, folders and files currently on the Mac's desktop. This is especially useful for the (hopefully short) time the desktop is cluttered. Folders are displayed with the underline style. Volumes (a.k.a. Disks) are displayed with the bold bold+underline style. The Trash is displayed with the bold style. Selecting an item from the Deskpop menu will open it. Holding down the Control+Option keys will reveal it in the Finder. Holding down the Control+Shift keys will move the selected item to the Trash. If the selected item is a volume, Control+Shift+selecting will unmount it and eject it, if it's ejectable. These key combinations can be modified using the "Deskpop Settings" dialog, which is accessible from the Deskpop menu item with the same name. Requirements Requires Mac OS 7.1 or better, and scriptable Finder (which is integrated into Mac OS 7.5 and better, I believe). For more information, please read the Release Notes enclosed.

Mac06 is intended - but not limited to - learning UNIX, running legacy UNIX software or developing new software to run on the standard Mac platform. Mac06 features simple installation and runs in parallel with MacOS (7.x and later) - either 68k or PPC. The file system maps the MacOS HFS files to a POSIX namespace, provides device files for terminal windows, serial I/O and a /proc directory. Mac06 has multitasking capability - even in parallel with the Finder. The command shell (sh) supports I/O redirection, pipes, conditionals commands and shell variable substitution. Many useful UNIX commands like ls, cat, more, fgrep, find, test, expr, mkdir, rmdir, mv, cp, uuencode/decode, cal are provided. C-Libraries to compile application programs with Symantec C or Code Warrior are provided. Although this release is still a beta release, it is already demonstrating how the system works. Compared to the previous versions, many bugs have been removed, several functions and commands have been revised and completed, especially TCP/IP support (nslookup, telnet), tar, uuencode/decode, more, rmdir, mkdir and a short installation and operation manual has been written. More information like screen shots, the installation and operation manual, links to third-party applications, and a download area can be found at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Nikolaus_Schaller/mac06.html.. Currently, Mac06 is freeware (copyright protected but no shareware fee), but donations are welcome. Distribution of the software package is unlimited. About DSITRI: The mission of Dr. Schaller Information Technology Research Institute is technology innovation by showing that it can be done. To get in contact, mailto:dsitri@kagi.com.

This made it possible for anybody to make their own schemes and change their MacOS interface completely. But, unfortunately, not all scheme designers are careful enough to make sure their schemes are bug free. To help scheme authors create schemes that had less bugs and would run more smoothly, SchemeChecker was released. SchemeChecker runs several tests on your schemes, to make sure you haven't omitted any crucial resources, or added resources that aren't used at all. Starting with version 1.4, SchemeChecker is fully compatible with the new, complex scheme format in Kaleidoscope 2.x schemes. SchemeChecker also allows schemes built for earlier versions of Kaleidoscope to contain the new Kaleidoscope 2.x resources, such as desktop patterns, window colors or cursors, as long as the resource IDs or functionality don't overlap. SchemeChecker enables you to check all the schemes in any folder (including subfolders), just one scheme or several schemes which can be selected from a list. The results can easily be exported to a TEXT file which you can open in any text editor. Recent changes to SchemeChecker ------------------------------- 1.4.2 - Nov 20, 1998 * Minor update to add support for the new resources introduced in Kaleidoscope 2.1.1. * Some minor details in the lists of MacOS 8.5 icons were fixed. 1.4.1 - Sept 28, 1998 * Minor update to add support for the new resources introduced in Kaleidoscope 2.1 and MacOS 8.5. * A couple of minor bugs were fixed. 1.4 - Aug 20, 1998 * SchemeChecker now does a better job at checking schemes configured to be used only with Kaleidoscope 2.0 or later. It also allows schemes built for earlier versions of Kaleidoscope to contain the new Kaleidoscope 2.0 resources in areas where the resource IDs don't overlap. * Kaleidoscope now checks the "Minimum Kaleidoscope version" entry in the Colr ID 129 resource for errors. * You can now make SchemeChecker automatically fix any unset System Heap and Purgeable bits. * When you select a different scheme in the Result window, the dis- played information no longer reverts to the "further info" field.
