Subject: [*] "Lime11.sit.hqx draws beautiful lines"

Lime is a small ( pink ) application that draws beautiful lines.
These lines
can be controlled by clicking in small circles.

v 1.1 adds some things , among them a better option for controlling the
Colours of the lines.

Subject: [*] Program Switcher v5.5.1


I am pleased to announce that Program Switcher v5.5.1 has been released.

Program Switcher is a convenient timesaving control panel that allows you to
switch between the applications running on your System 7.1 or greater
Macintosh via a simple two-key keystroke. It was inspired by the same
function found in "Windows," but has been improved and transformed into a
unique and fully configurable control panel that makes switching
applications on the Macintosh as simple as pressing a couple of keys.

Key features include:

    - The ability to switch, launch, quit, or hide any application with a
simple keystroke
    - The ability to switch, hide, or close windows with a simple keystroke
    - Full support for the latest MacOS technologies, such as Appearance,
Navigation Services, and Multiple Users.
    - Elegant, unobtrusive interface that makes the seemingly simple task of
switching applications truly simple and easy to do.
    - A powerful suite of user configurable hot keys, including such actions
as "Open File" and "Quit All Applications".

Program Switcher can be downloaded from it's web page at:

    http://www.programswitcher.com/

Version 5.5.1 fixes two bugs with the hot keys feature:
    - Bug which allowed more than one hot key have the same keystroke
    - Bug were certain hot key preferences were lost

>For some reason all my stand alone text files have been converted to
>Teach Text from Simple Text.

TeachText and SimpleText have the same creator, and their documents 
have the same type.  Both have creator 'ttxt', and text files created 
by them have type 'TEXT'.  Read-only documents, in both cases, have 
type 'ttro'.

SimpleText does know about a bunch of other types of documents, but 
SimpleText can read everything TeachText could read.

>As a result , I can't open them. Does
>anyone have any ideas about this and how I might be able to change
>them back?

Specifically what's happening?  I just opened a document under 9.0.4 
using the copy of TeachText that came with System 7.0.  Worked fine.

I suspect you just need to rebuild your desktop, but that's just a blind guess.

Subject: G3 b/w & 100base ethernet :-(

Hello out there!

After switching my G3 b/w with system 8.5.1 to 100MBit network in our
company, I have difficulties in elegant booting the machine: about
5 seconds _after_ the finder has startet a dialog is opened: "The
network
is _now_ accessable". This means, that up to that moment, there is
somthing wrong with network services.
   For we are using Leonardo LeoShare (ISDN server), too, this service
is not mounted automatically any longer, the same for all file servers.

The situation is very bad, for I'm running several other Mac servers
(e.g. FileMaker), and if they reboot, they will stuck with this dialog.

Any ideas?
Many thanks for your attandance.

Johannes Weitzel

Subject: Greeting card software

Someone was looking earlier for a replacement for Print Shop to do 
greeting cards.

That person may be interested to know that Refurb Madness has 
PrintMaster Gold 4.0 for $4.99 + $4 shipping.

I have no idea whether it does greeting cards as well as Print Shop, 
but it's pretty darned cheap.

<http://www.refurbmadness.com/>

No affiliation, blah blah blah.

FWIW.
