JanusNodes use their own simple language to allow the text-generation rules (called 'TextDNA') to be completely user-configurable. It is easy for users to write their own TextDNA even if they know nothing about programming the Mac. Users can also use the large set of built-in rules, or the automatic TextDNA-generating function which can turn ordinary text into TextDNA. The text morphing features include an automatic version of Tristan Tzara's original Dadaist formula for creating poetry from text (and many variations on it), an eecummingsfication feature for imitating the style of the great poet ee cummings, multiple forms of Markov chaining and much more. JanusNodes are highly user-configurable, and can be massively expanded by the end-user. JanusNodes are uncopyrighted and free. They may be freely redistributed. They require at least 15 megabytes of free disk space, at least 5 megabytes of available RAM, and a PowerPC processor.

Startup Doubler: for faster startups! v2.5.3 March 3rd, 2000 Startup Doubler makes for quicker startups: Its software acceleration compensates for sub-optimal disk performance to make extensions, control panel, the Finder and startup applications load faster. Save time each time you startup your Mac! Those seconds spent waiting while your Mac starts add up to a lot of time. Startup Doubler usually makes startups 20% to 50% faster, depending on the performance of your startup disk and the number of Extensions, Control Panels and Startup Items in your System. Version 2.5.3, released today, adds support for Mac OS 9.0.1-9.0.3. Startup Doubler runs on Mac OS 9.0.3 and previous versions (going back to System 7.0), and supports multiple extension sets. It is shareware, so you can try it for free then buy only if you like it. The shareware fee is $20, registered users of previous versions may upgrade for free. You may download the latest version of Startup Doubler or get more info from www.marcmoini.com [Archived as /info-mac/cfg/startup-doubler-253.hqx; 147 K] ------------------------------ Date: 16 Mar 2000 From: fedefil@fub.it (Federico Filipponi) Subject: [*] Submission of BOOM 1.2b2 BOOM 1.2b2 (beta release 2) This pre-release of BOOM 1.2 expires on April 1, 2000. What's BOOM? BOOM is an arcade game in the grand tradition, bringing the playability and feel of the glorious 8-bit consoles on the Macintosh. It can be described as "Bomberman meets Doom". Actually, I took the basic Bomberman idea and dropped it in a "Super-Deformed Doom" scenario (whatever this means). If you don't know what Bomberman’ and Doom’ are, definitely you've never played a computer game. This is the right time to start. BOOM's main features are: * Smooth sprite based animations in 256 colors * 8 different soundtracks and multi-channel sound effects * Simultaneous two players action * 80 different levels * 10 different enemy characters varying in intelligence and weaponry * Mid-game monsters and a final Super Boss System Requirements PowerPC processor; 5.5 MBytes free memory; Mac OS 7.0.1 or later; 640x480 or larger monitor supporting 256 colors; Sound Manager 3.0 or later. Recommended Configuration Mac OS 8.1 or later; Sound Manager 3.2 or later; InputSprocket 1.1 or later. What's new in BOOM 1.2 * Completely rewritten in C/C++. * Recompiled with the latest updates of the Sprite Animation Toolkit and the MADLibrary (music drivers). * Highly improved all standard application interface elements. * The Preferences dialog (formerly called Options) has been completely redesigned using tab panels. * The Preferences dialog is now directly accessible when in pause (the relevant menu item has been moved to the Edit menu). * The "Quick Settings" menu is now called "Options" and is located on the menubar for easier access. * Now the game automatically hides the Control Strip (if active) on startup and shows it again on quit (and when switching to the Finder). * Added an option for automatically setting the monitor resolution to 640 x 480 on startup. * Added support for external input devices like joysticks and ********** ABSTRACT CROPPED ********** [Archived as /info-mac/game/boom-12b2.hqx; 3108 K] ------------------------------ Date: 14 Mar 2000 From: Mikaeru Subject: [*] Switch-It 3.0 Switch-It 3.0 - Switch Applications via the Keyboard - *Freeware* Switch-It is *yet another* keyboard-based application switcher. It is user-friendly, fast, responsive, reliable, simple yet powerful... ^_^ Requires Mac OS System 7.0 or later (System 7.5 or newer is recommended). Compatible with Mac OS 8.5 and later. "What's New since Version 2.1" * Implemented a set of extra, customizable shortcut keys, used to perform directly (without displaying any dialog window on the screen) some often-used actions. * Allowed certain applications to be excluded from any global actions involving quitting or hiding all running applications, using a user-defined exclusion list. * Implemented more sophisticated "conceal-all" and "display-all" features, parallel to the "kill-all" feature. * Extended the "auto-hide switching" feature, which can now be chosen among two "strategies": - hide the front application then switch to the selected application, or - switch to the selected application, then hide all the other applications. * Added the detection of "pending" applications (applications in the background which have put a diamond mark next to their name in the Application system menu, to attract the user's attention). Such applications are now visually identified in the switching window, and can also be automatically selected by default. * Allowed direct selection by keypad numbers among the first ten applications.

This version of SwitchBack requires System 7.1 or later, MacOS 9 recommended. A 'Carbonized' version for MacOS X is planned. What is SwitchBack? SwitchBack is a file synchronization and backup utility. SwitchBack makes it easy and safe to synchronize two disks, so that both contain your most recently updated documents. Simply choose two folders to compare, and SwitchBack does the rest, quickly and painlessly. The two folders can reside on the same or different disks, or on two computers connected by a network, or even over the Internet. You can ask SwitchBack to tell you in detail what it is doing, or let it go to work, only advising you when there's a problem. It has been designed principally for those people with two computers (especially desktop and PowerBook) who need to ensure that they have the most recent version of their documents available to them.

If that's not the case on your machine, then right after adding something to it, open the Preferences folder window and select "Last Modified" (2nd line from top) and it should be near the top of the window. Yeah, I wanted to back mine up too. ICYDK, there is a shareware out there called "CD Coyote" that will let you play with this file.
