Subject: [*] ATPM 5.12

December 6, 1999, Etna, NH (http://www.atpm.com)--The holiday season is 
upon us, and as the staff of About This Particular Macintosh presents our 
December issue, we wish you the very best during this time of joy, and 
for the new year to come.

Kicking things off in this month's Apple Cider, Tom Iovino awaits the 
upcoming year 2000, and looks back on 1999 with some Random Saved 
Thoughts regarding Apple, Microsoft, football and parade balloons.

Publisher Michael Tsai examines the current state of Macintosh software 
from Microsoft, and as usual, doesn't pull any punches.

David Ozab continues his Segments piece, this time with a look at "MIDI 
and the Mac" in this month's How To.

Networking guru Matthew Glidden, of "Three Macs and a Printer", continues 
his 10-part series on networking your Macs with part 5, "Mixing Ethernet 
and LocalTalk Networks." For those of you with a mixture of older and 
newer Macs that need to communicate with one another, this column is for 
you.

This month's Art Department is a bit different, as our graphics guru 
Jamal Ghandour takes on a different form of art--music. Jamal walks you 
through how to burn your own music compilation CDs, turning your personal 
music collection into your own work of art.

In this month's About This Particular Web Site, David Spencer presents a 
cornucopia of sites for your holiday viewing pleasure, from staff 
favorites The Onion and mp3.com to The Register, Digital Blasphemy, and 
more. Be sure to contribute sites you think other readers might be 
interested in by emailing David.

Our Shareware Editor Bill Lovett has an extensive roundup of software 
that aids the Mac user in one of the staples of computer 
usage--installation. Check out Clean-Install Assistant, Yank, Tome 
Viewer, and Installer Observer. All make excellent holiday gifts for the 
Mac user in your life--with the exception of Yank, they are all free, and 
even Yank is inexpensive for what it does.

The staff reviews a wide range of items just in time for your last-minute 
holiday shopping, including Humongous Entertainment's Backyard Football; 
N2MP3 from Proteron; nik Color Efex!; Guy Kawasaki's latest tome, Rules 
for Revolutionaries; the Rio Player 500; and Handspring's Palm OS PDA, 
the Visor Deluxe.

A great gift idea this year is an ATPM t-shirt, available now. Check our 
web site for more details. Or you could really impress the ATPM reader in 
your life by winning him or her a t-shirt in this month's Trivia 
Challenge, Match the Monikers! ATPM's gift to you this holiday season is

Subject: [*] Polyominoes 7.0


If you like puzzles and thinking games, you'll love Polyominoes!

Polyominoes 7.0 is a challenging game based on polyominoes.  A polyomino 
is a piece made up entirely of squares connected edge-to-edge.  For 
example, a domino is a polyomino with 2 squares.  In Polyominoes, you can 
use pentominoes, tetrominoes, trominoes, hexominoes, or create a set of 
your own pieces!

Polyominoes is really four games in one.
    * In GAME mode, you have a very interesting strategy game in which 
you try to put the last piece on the board.  The pieces can be flipped or 
rotated in any manner.  You can use any of the 100 different boards, or 
create your own boards!
    * In CHALLENGE mode, you're provided with a position from the game 
mode in which you're challenged to find the winning move (and one always 
exists, no matter how hard it is for you to find it!).  It's similar to 
chess mate-in-x puzzles.  If you give up, the computer will show you how 
it's done!
    * In JIGSAW PUZZLE mode, you can try to place all the pieces on any 
of the boards. providing countless hours of jigsaw puzzle fun.
    * In SPANNING PUZZLE mode, you try to "span" the board with the 
fewest number of pieces.  The program keeps track of all of your best 
efforts.

Compatibility:  Polyominoes is compatible with MacOS versions 7.0 through 
9.0 and with both 68K and PowerPC machines.

Polyominoes is Shareware, $10.00 registration fee.  Polyominoes is

Subject: [*] Power Windows 2.1


Power Windows 2.1 -- January 3, 2000
by Greg Landweber, coauthor of Kaleidoscope

The Power Windows control panel lets you drag entire windows instead
of dotted outlines. It offers both solid and translucent window dragging
and is the only such utility to support the Finder's popup windows (aka
tabbed windows or drawers) introduced in Mac OS 8.

Version 2.1 now supports a limited form of multitasking during solid 
dragging, which lets background applications redraw the windows that 
were initially covered. It also fixes minor glitches with translucent 
dragging and with Kaleidoscope.

The shareware fee is $10 (registered users of 1.x can upgrade for $5;
registered users of version 2.x do not need to pay an upgrade fee).

Subject: [*] PowerReplace 6.6;  powerful text conversion utility


Announcing the release of PowerReplace 6.6! PowerReplace is a powerful
text conversion utility. It does the conversion using a small file called
"Filter". The syntax of filter is very easy to understand. PowerReplace is
also an utility to build text conversion application. It can create small
stand-alone daughter-application called "SelfReplace", who makes your
favorite conversion more easily and efficiently.

PowerReplace can replace character (including NULL, CR, LF, TAB) or string
by any other string. By use of the asterisk-sign(*) representing any
indeterminate string, it can replace also a string only whose two
extremities are known. It supports all character set, hexadecimal string
and regular expression(pattern) for find/replace.

New features (ver. 6.5 -> 6.6):

- Developer version available. If you buy the developer version for US$500,
you can distribute your own SelfReplace as shareware. Developer version
contains
a small program to generate user code for your SelfReplace.

- Fixed the long time wait bug when convert folder containing many files of
different types.

- Increase partition memory for SelfReplace. It seems that MacOS 8.5 or later
asks more memory.

WAVES IN MOTION RELEASES DOCUSCRIPT 2.0 FOR FILEMAKER PRO
New version includes improved script reporting and automatic problem 
detection

PHOENIX. December 17, 1999. Over the last few years, DocuScript has shown 
itself to be an invaluable tool for Filemaker developers looking to 
troubleshoot and document their projects. Now with improved script 
reporting and automatic problem detection, it has become even easier for 
developers to rediscover their scripts.

Aim DocuScript at a FileMaker project and it will extract every script in 
every file and quickly generate a series of reports -- starting with an 
overview of the files in the project, right down to the individual script 
steps. Click on a reference to an external script, and DocuScript 
instantly jumps to that script. Move through scripts step by step, or let 
DocuScript trace through an entire script for you and build a 
hierarchical report of every instruction, every external script, and 
every recursion. 

One of the new features in DocuScript 2.0, and one that will appeal to 
anyone responsible for large FileMaker projects, is the small, but 
powerful Problem Dot. DocuScript now automatically searches through all 
your scripts and marks any file containing an error, including such 
things as broken relationships, missing fields, and missing layouts. 
Click on a file name and you'll find another Problem Dot next to each 
problem script. Click on a script and continue to follow the dots 
straight to the bugs.

You can generate a Problem Report that summarizes all the problems found 
by DocuScript, or perform your own customized searches across all the 
files in your project. Search for a field name, a status function, or any 
of the standard FileMaker terms built into the DocuScript search engine.

With all this script information gathered together, DocuScript is also 
the perfect tool for documenting your projects. You can add comments 
anywhere in the project database generated by DocuScript or easily copy

This is the Japanese version of the Web Confidential package.

"Web Confidential is easy to use, secure, and well-integrated"- Adam C. Engst, TidBITS 

Where do you keep your confidential data?

Like most people these days, you've probably got a growing number of
user IDs, passwords, registration keys, PINs, serial numbers, and
the like, stored in various places on your Mac or scribbled on
miscellaneous pieces of paper around your home or office. When you
stop and think about it, you probably have more of these pesky bits
of information scattered about than you realize.

Now there is a software program to manage passwords and the like:
it is called Web Confidential. It uses an intuitive, easy-to-use
cardfile metaphor which will enable even novice users to get up to
speed in no time. Power users will find a large number of options
to enable them to configure Web Confidential to meet their specific
needs.

Web Confidential offers 448-bit encryption.

Changes in version 1.3.1J:

Mac OS 9 features a new version of the Keychain Manager (v2) and some
modifications were made to Web Confidential to support it. Version 1.3.1
fixes a bug that would occur when importing from the Keychain under Mac
OS 9.
