It recovers files and folders from crashed hard disks, floppy disks, or removable cartridges. Recovered data are saved to another medium, leaving the original disk untouched. The main interest in Data Rescue is that the strategy for finding lost files is original, different from the strategies used by other tools like 'Norton Utilities'. Not only will it find your data in situations where the other tools fail, but it will recover them in a much better condition, restoring icons, dates and even folder hierarchy. The shareware fee for Data Rescue is $39. Until you register your copy with a personnal code, you can only recover 1 file per session. This allows you to test Data Rescue and check that it helps you in your particular situation. Works on all Macs, needs System 7 or better. Compatible with MacOS 8.5 and HFS+.

This functionality is similar to Windows "alt-tab" feature, but it has been improved upon. Features of Program Switcher include: *User configurable switching keys. *Seven different switching themes, including two that tell you how much RAM is being used. The appearance of each theme is user configurable, allowing countless "looks" for Program Switcher. *Quit and hide specific applications just by pressing a few keys. *Program Switcher is MacOS 8 and Kaleidoscope savvy! An option enables Program Switcher's switching window to honor the current color scheme as provided by either MacOS 8's Appearance Manager or Kaleidoscope. *Support for MacOS 8's Contextual Menus. *Supports MacOS 8.5's theme sounds and new icons. *Converts your function keys into Power Keys! Many useful functions including "Quit all applications but Finder" and "Switch to Finder and hide other applications." *Plus many, many more options and features.. Program Switcher MacOS 8.5 Support MacOS 8.5 introduces a new system level applicaiton switcher that provides the user with minimal keyboard-based applicaiton switching. While functional, this new MacOS feature does not replace all of the features available in Program Switcher. Users will still want to use Program Switcher instead of the new MacOS application switcher. However, the new MacOS application switcher interferes with Program Switcher when the user has Program Switchers keys set to command-tab. Enclosed in the Program Switcher archive you will find a script that can shut off the new MacOS application switcher so that it does not interfere with Program Switcher. The script, titled "Toggle MacOS 8.5 App Switcher", will toggle to current setting for the MacOS application switcher. If the MacOS application switcher is on, running the script will shut it off (and vice versa).

SuperReplace is a powerful text conversion utility. [What's it?] SuperReplace is a powerful application for creating text conversion utility, called "Filter". To use filter to do the conversion, just drag and drop input text files onto the filter icon under Finder.The syntax of filter is very easy to understand. [Easy to use] Using a bi-style editor, it doesn't use any special character unlike classical system. You can write " \ CR and TAB directly in your filter. An assistant helps you to edit filter. Non programmers as well as programmers can use it very easily. [Powerful] Very fast. Replace strings. Search regular expression(pattern). Insert variables in the output text files. Preferences for selecting input files. [Examples] SuperReplace can be used for reformating HTML file. You have saved a web page from Netscape as TEXT or as HTML, but you don't like the file format: The accents are missing for french accent letters, the format isn't compatible with your database or your text editor, you need to extract only a few lines, or any PC/Mac/Unix file format problem, multi-columns problem, tabulation and space problems... [What's New?] - Fixed a bug in sub-filter when the new-string is empty. - Better output setting pane. - Open filter more easily. Double-click the filter, then press the Edit button. - Fixed many redraw, scroll and undo problems in editor. - Fixed the "cann't open filter" bug. - More fast for big filter with WorldScript II installed.

The user can learn to play Blackjack better, by having a hint window displayed if an incorrect play is made, or having the program deal only specific types of hands, like pairs or soft hands, so these can be practiced directly. Card counting can also be practiced. Going beyond the standard casino games, Ultimate Blackjack can show how much money a particular strategy will win (or lose) in Las Vegas, and even draws a histogram showing the distribution of outcomes. The statistical package tracks the payoff on each card combination to understand the best play. You can even experiment with two artificial intelligence routines, the genetic algorithm and learning agents, to see if a computer can learn to play Blackjack. Good Luck! Ultimate Blackjack is shareware with a fee of $10 and includes a 46 page manual. Version 2.1 allows a larger game window to be displayed to match the monitor size. Also, the wagering techniques available for simulating now include card counting and hot streaks. In addition, more variations on casino rules have been added and the genetic algorithm has been improved.

Features include the opportunity to do inflection exercises, and translation exercises in both directions; to record and play sound for single words; and to do exercises based on sound or pictures. The program keeps a record of exercises, and identifies the words that the student has difficulty with. Along with the program, you need a module for the target language concerned. The program can also be used as an authoring tool to write your own modules of inflected words for any language. A built-in 'inflection-generator' simplifies the addition of these words. A 'Find' feature allows the modules to be used as bilingual dictionaries. Ready-made modules are already available for certain languages.

Words may be entered at the keyboard or imported from any text file Searches can be printed directly from the program or exported as ascii text or in PICT format for further processing in another application.

I have system 8.1 and Netscape Navigator 4.05 on my Mac 6100, and it does the same thing also. It downloads a page and then hangs for 5-10 seconds before displaying it. I also tried Communicator 4.5 and it does the same thing. I wrote in to InfoMac about 1 month ago and got no replies. It has to be a conflict with something in the system folder but I never bothered to really diagnose it. Maybe OT/PPP or a library file accessed by OT/PPP. Did you upgrade to OT/PPP 2.0? I think it comes with the 8.5.1 system upgrade. John McGibney -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
