Subject: [*] Prowler 2.2.1 - Image browser and management tool
Prowler is an image browsing and management tool with an intuitive and
stylish interface. It's features include a full screen browser,
advanced slideshow (cross fades and the unique "scribble" function) and
powerful image organizational tools (image rotation, copying,
renaming). Prowler's aim is to present a collection of images in an
attractive way, either for personal browsing, showing off to friends,
or presentations.
Prowler supports all file image formats supported by the currently
installed version of QuickTime. These include PICT, JPEG, GIF etc.
Prowler is only US$15 shareware.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So what's so great about Prowler?
There are many features that sets Prowler neck and tail ahead of the
rest of the pack;
- Prowler's has a unique and elegant interface; perfect for
presentations. No more of those drab gray buttons, lists and popup menus.
- Powerful image manipulation tools make it a perfect assistant to
any aspiring digital photographer.
- Prowler features a slideshow including all common features as well
as several unique features such as alpha fades and scribbling.
- The ability to create HTML image catalogs.
- Prowler isnØt expensive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new in this version?
Released an early alpha version of Prowler Carbon. This lets Prowler
run natively under MacOS X.
Moved the preferences menu item from the edit menu to the application
menu under OSX.
Added a "Windows" menu under OSX.
Added labels to some of the go menu items.
Added the ability (under preferences) to set how images are
automatically scaled in the full screen mode. Basically, you can have
Prowler scale the image to the width of the screen (useful for TiBook
users, as suggested by Justin Weiner).
Pressing the tab key twice will zoom an image in slideshow to fit the
screen if the image is smaller than the screen; as requested by Ken arnold.
Bug. Menu would be hidden in Finder. Fixed.

Subject: [*] Script Timer 1.1 -OS X native scheduler for AppleScripts
Script Timer 1.1X
Script Timer 1.1X is an easy to use native AppleScript scheduler for
Macintosh OS X. It lets you schedule the execution of OSA based scripts,
such as those created using AppleScript. It will run your scripts at any
time on a daily, weekly, weekdays only, monthly, or one time basis as well
as at regular intervals ranging from minutes to weeks. You can also easily
pass parameters to your scripts. Script Timer has an extremely small memory
footprint and is designed to run unobtrusively in the background. The
program comes with several sample scripts, including one to remind you of
upcoming appointments.
To try out Script Timer 1.1X, go to http://www.theboss.net/appsmore and
click on the Shareware and Freeware button. Version 1.01, for users of
Macintosh OS 7.5 to 9.1, is still available and fully supported. It can be
obtained at the same location.
System Requirements: Macintosh System OS X
Purchase Information: Shareware $10 with site and academic licenses also
available. Registered users of a previous version of Script Timer are
eligible for a free upgrade.
Developer: Apps & More Software Design, Inc.

Subject: [*] StudioSystem 3.6
studio system 3.6
http://www.rootsolutions.de/studiosystem/
PPC, OS 8.1 or later (68K version available), full page color monitor
recommended.
The studio system helps you minimize the time spent on management and
administration chores of your studio(s). The system consists of a number of
related modules that are accessed from a central main menu.
Ñ point-and-click interface: no knowledge of Filemaker Pro required. With
more than 1600 field definitions, you can enter as much detail as you wish
or just use the modules that you find most useful.
Ñ cost-effective: solutions of this type are typically custom-programmed and
cost hundreds of dollars. The studio system is shareware and registration
costs no more than a roll of multitrack tape.
Ñ integration: access all information from within one application. The
studio system is communication and accounting software, archive, address,
and inventory database, studio calculator, appointment keeper, label and
track sheet printer, and more for all studio activity.
Ñ support for international users: customize all printable forms with local
language templates (English, German, French, and Italian already included).

Subject: [*] TimeRunner 0.5
TimeRunner version 0.5
======================
Brief Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TimeRunner is a very small INIT extension which gives you the ability to
tell your Mac to automatically launch applications at predetermined times.
You will need at least System 7.1 to use TimeRunner. It should work with
all system versions up to Mac OS 9.x.
I literally threw this together in a couple of hours to get a job done
that I needed - it's not pretty, nor incredibly user-friendly, but it's
simple, and I thought somebody else might find it useful...
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Drag the TimeRunner extension onto the icon of your System Folder. You
will be asked if you want to place it into the Extensions folder, which is
where this extension should go! (Alternatively, you can of course drag it
into the Extensions folder yourself.) Once it is in place you should
restart your Mac to allow the extensions to load as the system starts up.
Once Finder has started you should see a warning message appearing which
tells you that there is no "TimeRun Items" folder in your System Folder.
If you open up your System Folder and create a new folder with the name
"TimeRun Items", then you can place applications to launch (or better,
aliases to applications) into this folder.
