In this version I have made many improvements based on customer feedback and comments, and two major new features are: 1) Aetiket Label Printer is French/English bilingual, widening the product coverage to European users in another international language. 2) A new Duplication function was implemented, enabling "input-once, print-many" printing of labels with full type and paragraph formatting control. Aetiket Label Printer 2.6.1 is an update to the older Aetiket Label Printer 2.5.2 already in your archive. The filename is the same. Aetiket Label Printer is a FileMaker Pro Solution that makes it easy to print labels of various sizes anywhere on a label sheet: one at a time, in small batches, or whole pages at once. Mailing, Packaging, European A4, and media labels are supported, and more are added regularly in response to customer requests and support.

Helbling, Zurich, Switzerland. Clever's Arithmeticus is a program for mental arithmetic training. It offers 18 preinstalled difficulty levels which incorporates beginning math skills - using one operand - up to pre-algebra, utilizing four operands, negative numbers and parentheses. Individual levels can be created. Clever's Arithmeticus creates work-sheets. Teachers have the possibility to control the progress of pupils. Clever's Arithmeticus is not repetive, the equations vary at each level and exercise. The arithmetic-generator is switched off in the demo version. Please remember that Clever's Arithmeticus is shareware. This means that you can try it out. If you plan to use it, send in the registration fee. You will get a registration code which supports the arithmetic-generator to create various arithmetical problems. We encourage you to give the original Clever's Arithmeticus (not your registered copy) to anyone who also wishes to evaluate Clever's Arithmeticus. To learn more about using Clever's Arithmeticus and all the benefits it provides, choose the menu command "?" (or 'Command-Key + Shift ?' instead) to open the Users Guide after you have installed. Clever's Arithmeticus is available for MacOS, Windows NT, and Windows 95/98 in English as well as in German. Other languages like French are on the line. Each version supports the proper look-and-feel of its underlying platform. Information mhelbling@access.ch Order Please use the order form located in the Clever's Arithmeticus folder.

Yummy" Ultimate Gamer "a great simple shoot-em-up game...has the same primal appeal of Doom...addictive...the perfect game for five or ten minutes of gunplay anytime you're stressed out and need a violence fix." Wayne Bremser, Mac Home Journal "Blood Bath is a fast paced shoot'em-up similar in gameplay to titles such as "Lethal Enforcers" and "Mad Dog McCree." What sets this one apart from the rest is the ultra-smooth animation during gameplay. Most games of this kind animate so slowly and so jerky, it's almost impossible to play them, much less have fun. This is not the case with Blood Bath. Everything is smooth and fluid, enabling you to concentrate on blasting the enemies instead of waiting to see if you hit your target or not...Underworld has done a remarkable job in creating a game of this style that is actually fun to play." 92%!!!!

Ever tried to find the right clipping among a bunch of "Text Clipping 1", "Text Clipping 2", etc? It's not too bad with one clipping, but more than a couple leads to long sessions in the Finder assigning useful names, wasting the time you saved. ClippingNamer helps you manage clippings. Without leaving your current program, you can: * Automatically assign a new name based on the (text) clipping contents. * Automatically create a thumbnail image (icon) for picture clippings. * Popup a dialog that lets you see both ClippingNamer's and the Finder's suggested names, and use either one or a new name you type. * NEW - Save text or picture clippings as SimpleText files instead. * NEW - Append text clippings to existing files/clippings instead of creating new. You can set any of these modes (or none) as the default, and invoke any of the others with modifier keys (completely customizable). There are several other convenience options as well. UPDATE: Version 1.1.3 adds the save to file and append features. It fixes bugs that caused renamed clippings to move around on the Desktop under OS8, and a problem on some machines where nothing happening regardless of hotkeys, or Stuffit Expander crashed. ClippingNamer is $10 shareware. See for this and other shareware products.

LineSort is capable of sorting large amounts of text with reasonable speed and predictable memory requirements. The basic unit of sorting is a line, a string of text terminated by an end-of-line character. LineSort Version 4.2 includes the following useful features: * convenient floating window interface * forward or reverse ordering of output * grep pattern matching * lexicographic or natural ordering * merges, removes or retains duplicate lines during sorting * operates on either a selected region of text or the entire document * optionally ignores case * sorts in place, or inserts sorted lines into a new document window * supports the undo command Requirements * Macintosh (any model) with System 7 or 8. * BBEdit 3.5.2 or later (the commercial version, not BBEdit Lite) PATTERN MATCHING Pattern matching adds considerable power and flexibility to LineSort. The generality of pattern-matching allows the user to greatly extend the capabilites of LineSort, without requiring any re-programming by the author. The basic idea is that you can define a pattern upon which to sort. LineSort will search for and recognize this pattern. When it rearranges the lines of text, it will order them according to the patterns it finds. If a line does not contain the pattern then it can't be sorted. After sorting, lines that did not match the selected pattern are moved into a new untitled window. -- Craig H.
