Both take a "User" and a "Password" parameter. The only difference is ResolveWith will only resolve one level deep and return an error code. This may be useful if your only goal is to mount a remote volume to which the alias points. ResolveTo will further resolve any aliases pointed to by the alias. In addition it will return the resultant file. This is useful if you need to use the file you are resolving. Both functions can take "" as a "User" parameter to indicate a guest logon. AkuaCopy -------- + Description AkuaCopy results out of my big problems getting the Finder to copy some damn files without getting "Not a reference" or "Not the right type" or some other silly error. What a pain. copyFile from Jon's Commands is cute, but it is neither RamDoubler friendly nor is it a very good interface to not show any status while copying 200MB over a network. Resolve&Copy ------------ Two scripts I wrote to demonstrate the use of these osaxen. Resolve just resolves any aliases in its own folder. Resolve&Copy resolves any aliases in a "Copy" folder within its own folder and copies them to its own folder.

Several preset favourite folders are supplied, to which you can add your own. Simply drag a file onto Alias Arranger, choose a location for the alias, and the alias is created there without your having to mess about with Finder windows. You can also name an alias while creating it and choose a generic suffix for all aliases created using Alias Arranger. As well as a few minor fixes, version 1.1 allows you to quickly search a folder or disk for unattached alias files, which you can then assign to new targets or delete. Alastair Matthews Click!

Gradekeeper is a powerful, easy to use gradebook program for the Macintosh. Teachers can use semesters, trimesters, quarters, or six-week terms. Assignments can be grouped into 10 categories. Grades can be computed using total points or category weights. Any assignment for any student can be excused, or the worst score in any category can be dropped. Final exams can contribute to the term, semester, or final grade. Gradekeeper is also very easy to use. With the default categories and options, teachers can start entering students, assignments, and scores right away. Changing assignments, student names, or scores, is as easy as clicking and typing the new information. An extensive user's guide is included. Gradekeeper is distributed as shareware. It is not free. Teachers can download a copy from my web site at: http://www.gradekeeper.com and try it for 30 days without obligation. If they want to continue using it, the registration fee is $20 for an individual license or $100 for a site license. Version 4.6 includes the following improvements: + You may now have different categories, weights, and grading options for each term. Letter grade cutoffs and final exam options remain the same for the entire school year. This gives you the flexibility to change how you compute grades during the course of the school year. + There is now an Extra Credit category. This method of doing extra credit assignments should work much better when computing grades using category weights. See the User's Guide for specific examples of how this affects your grade computation. + Sorting now affects only those students above the first blank row in the gradebook. This allows you to move students to the bottom of the gradebook when they transfer out of your class, without your next sort command mixing them back in with your other students.

When Netscape designed its first-generation browsers, it included a layer of directory buttons pointing to services that varied depending on where and how you obtained the browser. The only problem is that Netscape didn't give users a way to edit the title and destinations of those buttons, and most of the time the buttons remained hidden and useless. Navigator Enhancer allows you to edit this information, so you can substitute your favorite Web pages and services for the ones supplied by Netscape. A word of caution, though: make sure you've exited your browser and made a backup copy of your browser before using this application. This version includes some minor bugfixes, a new registration process and a slightly better interface. This one is US$3 / DM 5,- shareware.

For those who don't know NET/Mac... NET/Mac is the application that supports TCP/IP over packet-radio, which means, that hamradio operators can use NET/Mac for their wireless TCP/IP network... In this version of NET/Mac the following mods/features were implemented: - Fixes for longer Macintosh names - 'smtp timer' now gives more info about the timerstatus - NET/Mac does NOT support the new Buckmaster CD-ROM's HAMCALL database yet... I am trying to convince Buckmaster that I need the new data-encryption-method, but as of yet they are not ready to release a description of the encoding-algorithm... The old CD-ROM's remain fully supported... The latest version of NET/Mac can be downloaded from my homepage: http://www.caiw.nl/~adam This version obsoletes all versions of info-mac/comm/inet/conn/radio-net-mac in the Sumex-Aim.stanford.edu (and it's mirror-) archives. It also replaces /pub/mac/_communicatie/_internet/radio_net_mac_23xx.hqx on ftp.idg.nl. The new NET/Mac has (hopefully) been uploaded to: - oak.oakland.edu, to the directory /pub/hamradio/mac/digital - ftp.ucsd.edu, to directory /hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming. If it's not there (anymore), then look at /hamradio/packet/tcpip/mac. - hamster.business.uwo.ca, to directory /pub/amsoft - wa2zkd mirrors UCSD's incoming on his Landline BBS.

When you click on a point the computer will draw a dot, the color red, blue, yellow, or green indicating which zone that dot is in. If the point is on or very close to a line, you'll get a white dot. The goal is to find the blackk dot, the one at the intersetion of the two lines. The number of guesses in the current game is displayed in the lower left hand corner. Your running totals are displayed in the lower right. Obviously fewer guesses is better, and if you're half-way paying attention you should be able to get down to twelve or ten guesses. If you can get consistently below ten, that's pretty good!
