Subject: [*] BungieNet Tracker 2.0 for Myth: The Fallen Lords
Hiya! Thanks for downloading my Bungie.Net(tm) Tracker spreadsheet. I
don't really care about rank, but I like to track my progress and find
some way of looking on the bright side, e.g., I lost all 20 games of flag
rally, but I did more damage than anyone else in all of them, so my
ratios went up, etc.
Included are two versions:
BNetTrk2.xls - which is for Excel 97/98
BNetTrak.xls - which is for Excel 5.0/7.0
Please enjoy and feel free to modify them. This package may be
reproduced or redistributed freely, but must only without modification or
removal of this package.
Note: Some of the graphics in the Rank History chart don't show up on
Windows versions of Excel 5.0 and 7.0. I think this is a graphic type
display problem that was fixed in Excel 97 for Windows. Macintosh
versions of Excel do not seem to have any problems displaying the
graphics. Go figure or go get a Macintosh.
Take care, and say Hiya! if you see me on Bungie.Net.

Subject: [*] CapsLight 1.2
CapsLight is a small control panel intended for PowerBook users,
although it will work on any Macintosh computer with System 7.0 or later.
CapsLight displays an icon in the menubar whenever the caps lock key is
engaged. On Powerbooks whose keyboards don't have a locking caps lock key
and have no caps lock light, this is a helpful feature.
Version 1.2 adds no new features, but fixes a small bug that prevented
the menubar being redrawn properly on some computers.

Subject: [*] cd-key 1.2
cd-key is a small freeware control panel that lets you use the function
keys found on extended keyboards to control the playback of audio CDs.
cd-key requires System 7.0 or later, a CD-ROM drive, and an extended
keyboard.
Version 1.2 adds the ability to free up the function keys for other things
by requiring a modifier to be held down to use cd-key, and a choice of two
layouts - one for desktop Macs, the other for PowerBooks.
Version 1.1.1 fixes the brute stupidity of the Skip Back and Forward keys,
and fixes a bug that in some cases caused cd-key to keep scanning a track
even after the Scan Back or Forward key had been released.
Version 1.1 adds the ability to scan tracks and adjust the CD volume,
support for more CD-ROM drives and drivers, and support for the Apple
Platinum Appearance under Mac OS 8.

Subject: [*] Desktop Resetter 1.1
Do you keep your most used programs and files on your desktop for easy access?
Ever accidently choose Clean Up in the Finder or find that after you played that
fun game which switched your monitor resolution, your icons got all screwed up
and thrown all over your desktop? Especially after you just spent all that time
placing them nice and neatly?
Desktop Resetter will 'remember' where you keep your icons, and if they ever get
moved, just run this program and it will automatically re-arrange them to the
positions you had set them to! It'll even do it in the background. If you
have an
'040 processor or better (PPC), it will probably only take about 2 seconds
or so.
What's New?
Trash and Disk Support, multi-resolution support, and hot keys, and more!

Subject: [*] Extensions Strip 1.5.1 [fix!!]
Extensions Strip hosts control strip modules in the most flexible and
powerful environment out there. Its theme is "extensions with a global
interface" because control strip modules, especially Extensions Strip savvy
ones, get the best of the extension and application environments. Included
in the package are two FAT binary Extensions Strip savvy modules and
developer examples.
1.5.1 Changes:
* In the control panel you can choose whether to give idle time to hidden
strips or not.
* Fixed a Finder bug that sometimes prevented ES Control from opening.
* Fixed (I think) a bug that would sometimes prevent ES from giving idle
time to modules.
* Now the slider of OS 8's Sound Volume module draws without flickering.
* Removed the beta warning. How embarrassing.

What are Karaoke files?
-----------------------
Karaoke files are standard MIDI files with a text track that contains the ly=
rics
of the song with some timing information (when each syllable should be sung)=
.
Starting with QuickTime(tm) version 2.0, Apple added support for playback
of MIDI
tracks. In version 2.5, text tracks were added with the ability to convert
karaoke files into QuickTime(tm) movies. Karaoking(tm) is using this feature=
to
import karaoke files, transparently convert them into QuickTime(tm) compatib=
le
data and play them (slightly better, we hope, than Movie Player). Karaoking(=
tm)
can also open pre-converted QuickTime(tm) movies containing karaoke data.

Subject: [*] Pattern Manager 1.5.2
With the myriad of other desktop pattern installers out there, why
another desktop pattern manager? Simple: none of them had the features
that I wanted.
Pattern Manager=97"PatMan"=97displays patterns with their names in a
user-sizable grid, installs patterns into the System File, and sets the
utilities pattern (which other desktop pattern installers don't do). It
fully supports drag and drop between files, the ScrIt has the best PICT
importer available, and, remarkable for a desktop pattern manager, it
has resizeable windows. It also has a nifty pattern information window,
and can change the background pattern periodically. Pattern Manager
ships as a fat binary, and so should run on all Macs running system 7.0
and higher.
New in version 1.5.2:
- Pattern Rotater should work much better now.
- Various minor fixes for compatability with MacOS 8
- A new e-mail address.
Previous versions of PatMan have been archived in different places, but
I think somewhere in the gui heirarchy is most appropriate, probably
near the Textures folder, as that is what PatMan works with.

Subject: [*] Vocal1_0.sit
VOCALWRITER - FIRST MUSIC SYNTHESIZER TO SING LYRICS
Introducing VocalWriter, the first music synthesizer to sing lyrics.
Released as a software application for the Power Macintosh, VocalWriter is a
MIDI file editor, player and synthesizer in a single integrated environment.
With the recent development of its breakthrough acoustic modeling technology
called Resonant Articulatory Synthesis (RAS), KAE Labs offers the first
musical instrument that can model the human vocal tract in singing
unrestricted English lyrics. VocalWriter allows computer musicians and
enthusiasts to interactively compose and hear their MIDI music with sung
lyrics. VocalWriter also synthesizes the full General MIDI instrument set,
providing stereo CD-quality instrumental accompaniment to the vocals.
Most of the tasks involved with entering and editing the lyrics have been
automated using VocalWriter's unique music editor. Users simply type the
English lyrics for each note and VocalWriter automatically figures out the
word pronunciation from its on-line 100,000 word phonetic dictionary, the
syllable timing and synchronization, and the required model parameters to
sing the lyrics.
When writing and playing music, vocals have the same real-time behavior as
instrumentals. Users can make Program Changes for new singing voices, enter
Pitch-Bend and Volume controls and various extended vocal controls such as
Brightness, Glide Rate, Chorus and Aspiration Levels. Since the synthesizer
is polyphonic and multi-timbral, music can be scored with more than one
vocal track to provide sung choral parts using different voices.
Besides the full General MIDI instrument set, VocalWriter includes over 85
different singing voice models. The voice range covers models from the
complex but subtle characteristics of human singers to models that extend
beyond physical possibilities like singing musical instruments.
System Requirements:
* Power Macintosh
* MacOS 7.5.3 or later
* 256 or more color display
* Stereo speakers
* MIDI interface (optional)
The shareware registration including the VocalWriter User's Manual is $99
(US).
