Catalog 05/07.Indd Software Library Listing July 2005 1 INTRODUCTION This is a catalog of all of the files maintained in the Keystone MacCentral Software Library. The Library can be obtained on CD by request. The library requires two CDs. Normally we will provide one full CD with the latest files. These will be programs that require OS X or in some cases Classic. Please specify if you require the complete library. DOMs Disks Of the Month are arbitrary collections of files. They have been downloaded from the Net. The web sites are included in the documentation so that you may download directly from the source. ROMs In September of 1998, we featured MacMAME as our Disk Of the Month (DOM 98/09.) In a nutshell, MacMAME attempts to emulate as closely as possible the original hardware of the early eighties arcade games. It does this by fooling the original program code, contained in ROM chips, into thinking they are running inside the real machine when in reality they are running on your Mac. MAME, which stands for Multi-Arcade Machine Emulator, is the product of a group of people who have teamed up to emulate as many of these games as possible. This is a list of the games that we have in our library in the DOM 98/09 folder. SOUND BYTES This portion of our catalog lists the names of the various sound bytes, that we have in our library. The five folders are arranged by type of sound. About .seas and .sits Many of the files are .sea files. The .sea is an acronym for Self Extracting Archive. Double clicking a .sea file causes it to expand into a useable file or folder. On the other hand, .sit files are compressed files that require StuffIt Expander. StuffIt Expander is a free utility that is available from many sources. About DAs DAs are Desk Accessories. In the early days, the Mac was limited to a single running program in RAM. The desk accessories were a workaround. They were small programs installed in the System. They could be invoked by selecting one or more entries in the Apple menu. With the introduction of Switcher and Multifinder, they became less important. System 7 did away with the Desk Accessory concept altogether. There are some gems in this group of programs. However, you have to work to dig them out. Double click on a DA to open a window which will reveal the actual program. The program must be dragged out of window before it will run properly in System 7 and after. Trash the original, now empty, DA. By the way, that part about “run properly”, I recommend that you not have anything important running the first time you launch one of these little rascals. They are not all well behaved. Some may freeze or crash your computer. We have tried to remove all of the really nasty ones, but be advised. About Inits INITs, cdevs, Control Panels, System Extensions — they are all buzz-words for basically the same critters: low-level programs which load automatically when the system starts up. They are the files that you toss into your System Folder. They are used at your own risk in operating systems through OS 9. Do not use them in Classic or OS X. About ppats Ppats are are small graphics used by Mac OS to tile the background of the desktop. 2 About Hypercard Stacks In the mid 80’s Apple introduced a new programming concept known as HyperCard. HyperCard is an application that manipulates files known as stacks. The programming environment was simple enough to encourage many, many Mac users to develop their own stacks. Access to the stacks requires either HyperCard or HyperCard Player. HyperCard allows for authoring. The Player, which is available in the library, does not allow authoring. The Index This section begins a list of all of the files in our library. Clip Art In the good old days, before scanners and digital cameras and vast collections of clip art, there were small collections of clip art. Mostly they were black and white, not color and not grey scale. Some of the art was very good. Our small collection is displayed by thumb nails. Thumb nails are reduced presentations. They were created using a beta version of ThumbsPlus. Fonts Important note: The Mac identifies fonts by an assigned number. Numbers are not necessarily unique. If two fonts have the same number, only one will appear in the font menu. Unless, of course, you are using some sort of a font utility that resolves such conflicts. Another important note: The name of the font suitcase and the name in the font menu are not necessarily the same. Be careful about changing the font menu name, especially if there is an associated Postscript font. I have not been consistent in which name I use in the database. Hopefully this will not be a significant problem. In the beginning, there was the Mac and the Imagewriter. Fonts were bitmaps. The good news was that bitmaps worked reasonably well on the Mac screen and the Imagewriter. A separate font must be created for each font size. The installed font sizes are shown in Outline style in font menus. The Mac uses an algorithm to generate other font sizes, but often the display looks really awful. For optimal display clarity, a second set of characters, twice the point size, should be installed. The inherent limitations of bitmapped fonts, limited font variety, font sizes, and print quality made bitmapped fonts unacceptable to business users. With the introduction of the LaserWriter, a new type of font was created: Postscript or laser or Type 1 fonts. Postscript fonts are scalable, that is, they look pretty good at any point size. Actually a complete font set consists of a bitmapped font and the screen font. The bitmapped font is used for screen display and as a template for the printer font. A separate bitmapped font must be available for each style (italic or bold) to be printed. There may be some subtle differences in the screen font and the printed output. Adobe Type Manager was introduced to augment the standard Mac drivers and produce better looking displays on the screen and on printed output on non-laser devices. It also uses both screen fonts and printer fonts. With the introduction of System 7, Apple introduced a new font technology, TrueType. TrueType fonts combine the elements of bitmapped and printer fonts into a single font set. TrueType fonts may be used with System 6.0.7 if the TrueType extension is installed. 3 The Index File Buddy 8.1.6 1.6 MB 12/2/2004 http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy/ Requires Mac OS X 10.3 or late. We cannot distribute File Buddy from our library. However, it is used to view and edit a wide range of file and folder information, such as modify the names of multiple files at once (for example, remove “.txt” from the names of a group of files), create aliases, find empty files and folders, orphaned files, duplicate files, broken aliases, and unused preference files, create snapshots that can be used to track the changes on a disk, such as files installed by an installer (use snapshots to uninstall applications.) ClipClop 1.1.sea 62 K 8/30/1995 Applications ClipBoard ScrapBk This program allows you to use multiple clipboards with standard applications and allows you to print the clipboard, save it to a text or PICT file, and read a text or PICT file directly into the clipboard.

  • Device Manager 1
    CHAPTER 1 Device Manager 1 This chapter describes how your application can use the Device Manager to transfer information into and out of a Macintosh computer. The Device Manager controls the 1 exchange of information between applications and hardware devices. Manager Device This chapter provides a brief introduction to devices and device drivers (the programs that control devices) and then explains how you can use the Device Manager functions to ■ open, close, and exchange information with device drivers ■ write your own device driver that can communicate with the Device Manager ■ provide a user interface for your device driver by making it a Chooser extension or desk accessory. You should read the sections “About the Device Manager” and “Using the Device Manager” if your application needs to use the Device Manager to communicate with a device driver. Applications often communicate with the Device Manager indirectly, by calling functions of other managers (for example, the File Manager) that use the Device Manager. However, sometimes applications must call Device Manager functions directly. The sections “Writing a Device Driver,” “Writing a Chooser-Compatible Device Driver,” and “Writing a Desk Accessory,” provide information you’ll need if you are writing your own device driver. If you writing a device driver, you should understand how memory is organized and allocated in Macintosh computers. See Inside Macintosh: Memory, for this information. You should also be familiar with resources and how the system searches resource files. You can find this information in the chapter “Resource Manager” in Inside Macintosh: More Macintosh Toolbox. If your device driver is to perform background tasks, you’ll need to understand how processes are scheduled.

  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • IM: F: Introduction to Files
    CHAPTER 1 Introduction to File Management 1 This chapter is a general introduction to file management on Macintosh computers. It explains the basic structure of Macintosh files and the hierarchical file system (HFS) used 1 with Macintosh computers, and it shows how you can use the services provided by the Introduction to File Management Standard File Package, the File Manager, the Finder, and other system software components to create, open, update, and close files. You should read this chapter if your application implements the commands typically found in an application’s File menu—except for printing commands and the Quit command, which are described elsewhere. This chapter describes how to ■ create a new file ■ open an existing file ■ close a file ■ save a document’s data in a file ■ save a document’s data in a file under a new name ■ revert to the last saved version of a file ■ create and read a preferences file Depending on the requirements of your application, you may be able to accomplish all your file-related operations by following the instructions given in this chapter. If your application has more specialized file management needs, you’ll need to read some or all of the remaining chapters in this book. This chapter assumes that your application is running in an environment in which the routines that accept file system specification records (defined by the FSSpec data type) are available. File system specification records, introduced in system software version 7.0, simplify the identification of objects in the file system. Your development environment may provide “glue” that allows you to call those routines in earlier system software versions.

  • SYSTEM SOFTWARE, MEMORY, and RESOURCES Includes Demonstration Program Sysmemres
    1 SYSTEM SOFTWARE, MEMORY, AND RESOURCES Includes Demonstration Program SysMemRes Macintosh System Software All Macintosh applications make many calls, for many purposes, to Macintosh system software functions. Such purposes include, for example, the creation of standard user interface elements such as windows and menus, the drawing of text and graphics, and the coordination of the application's actions with other open applications.1 The majority of system software functions are components of either the Macintosh Toolbox or the Macintosh Operating System. In essence: • Toolbox functions have to do with mediating your application with the user. They relate, in general, to the management of elements of the user interface. • Operating System functions have to do with mediating your application with the Macintosh hardware, performing such basic low-level tasks as file input and output, memory management and process and device control. Managers The entire collection of system software functions is further divided into functional groups which are usually known as managers.2 Toolbox The main Toolbox managers are as follows: QUICKDRAW WINDOW MANAGER DIALOG MANAGER CONTROL MANAGER MENU MANAGER TEXTEDIT EVENT MANAGER RESOURCE HELP MANAGER SCRAP MANAGER FINDER INTERFACE LIST MANAGER MANAGER SOUND MANAGER SOUND INPUT STANDARD FILE NAVIGATION APPEARANCE FOLDER MANAGER PACKAGE SERVICES MANAGER MANAGER Introduced with Mac OS 8.0. Note that Navigation Services renders Standard File Package obsolescent 1 The main other open application that an application needs to work with is the Finder, which is responsible for keeping track of files and managing the user’s desktop. The Finder is not really part of the system software, although it is sometimes difficult to tell where the Finder ends and the system software begins.
