Additionally, ACE! allows you to print details of these save games. Initially, you can edit the save games from 'Bard's Tale', 'Doom' (1, 2 and Ultimate), 'Foobar vs the DEA', 'Heroes of Might & Magic', 'King's Bounty', 'Mantra', 'Marathon' (1, 2, Infinity, Excalibur and Evil), 'Might and Magic' (1, 2 and 3), 'Pathways into Darkness', 'Realmz', 'Ultima III', 'Unlimited Adventures', 'Wizardry Gold' and 'Yipe! III'. However, ACE! can be extended to edit other save games through the use of plug-in 'modules'. ACE! is freeware. ACE! will run on any Macintosh or MacOS compatible computer. It requires System 7.0 or higher, a minimum of 350k of disc space, and about 640k of free RAM. ACE! is distributed as a fat binary, meaning that it runs native on both 68k and PPC processors.

CyberAssistant is a Control Panel that gives your Macintosh a personality. It takes advantage of Apple's PlainTalk=81 software, giving your Macintosh a voice with which to speak. You can have your system speak to you each time it is started, have your system speak to you when it has been idle for too long, or speak the time each half-hour. CyberAssistant is customizable, allowing you to turn on and off each option as you see fit. CyberAssistant is not just a voice for your computer, but also an assistant. It can alert you at startup when your startup disk falls below a certain amount of disk space. It can also configure certain aspects of your system at startup so that you can more reliably count on your system being configured a certain way. For example, CyberAssitant can turn on or off file sharing at startup, set the color depth of you main monitor, and empty the trash. These options are all performed at startup, allowing you to count on your system starting up in a consistent way (a real nice feature for those who share systems with multiple users).

To permanently change the view settings for a given set of folders, you can drop them on the Control Panel's icon or into the main window.

Two plugins are provided, Finder Info 1.0 and Set Custom Icon 1.1. Additionally, the pack includes a small utility, Visibility 1.0. The Set Custom Icon 1.1 plugin lets you quickly and easily change custom icons on files, folders, applications and drives. Simply control-click on the icon and you will see a Custom icon item and submenu appear, choices include cut, copy, clear and paste depending on whether or not a custom icon is present or on the clipboard. Much more pleasant than the old fashioned way of going through the Get Info dialog. Future enhancements will include the ability to paste PICT files as well as icons. The Finder Info 1.0 plugin is likely to be of more interest to programmers as it allows you to toggle the Finder information bits such as the Invisible and Custom Icon bits. Control-click on the icons in the Finder and you will see a Finder info item whose submenu lists the bits and their current values, select these to toggle on or off. Please use this with care as this information is actually used by the Finder and misuse can cause problems. I'd like to add creator and type code changing here as well but I've yet to work out a nice interface. Visibility 1.0 lets you select invisible files or folders and make them visible. Simply launch the application, choose the file or folder and click on the show button(s). Visibility will then quit having made the item visible. This is a quick single focus utility so niceties such as menus etc have been dispensed with. Visibility is a Fat Binary application that will run on both 680x0 and PowerPC Macintosh computers running System 7 or later. It needs only 400K of RAM and occupies only 40K of disk space. The Visibility utility will let you make a number of system files and folders visible, I strongly suggest you do not do this unless you are confident you know what you are doing. I accept no warranty for damage you may do to your computer or time you waste as a result of using this software. This software is shareware, with the low fee of US$10 payable directly or via Kagi.

Unfortunately a number of people found making an item visible again somewhat more challenging. Visibility lets you select invisible files or folders and make them visible. Simply launch the application, choose the file or folder and click on the show button(s). Visibility will then quit having made the item visible. This is a quick single focus utility so niceties such as menus etc have been dispensed with. Visibility is a Fat Binary application that will run on both 680x0 and PowerPC Macintosh computers running System 7 or later. It needs only 400K of RAM and occupies only 40K of disk space. This utility will let you make a number of system files and folders visible, I strongly suggest you do not do this unless you are confident you know what you are doing. I accept no warranty for damage you may do to your computer or time you waste as a result of using this software. This software is shareware, with the low fee of US$5 payable directly or via Kagi. Please read the enclosed read me for details.
