Subject: [*] Cave Dig 3 uploaded!
Cave Dig 3 is a wonderful and challenging arcade/puzzle game with beautiful
graphics, a great soundtrack and a simple yet entertaining gameplay.
You control Simon, a small fox with great powers, who is transported
in a
fantastic underground world. You will have to dig, move stones, travel
through warps and ultimately use a laser pistol to escape from the hostile
caves. Watch out for the creatures! They will block your path, chase you and
squash you if you are not careful. Cave Dig 3 is bound to become a shareware
classic.
The cheats and all the levels are unlocked in the registered version
of Cave
Dig 3.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
ò Mac OS 8 or better on any Power Macintosh. Cave Dig 3 is a classic
application and should function normally under Mac OS X.
ò 10 Mb of storage space
ò 640x480 screen or larger, supporting 256, thousands, or millions of colors.
ò Draw Sprocket and Quick Time 3 or better

Subject: [*] Coordinates 2.4.3 - Planetary Surface Coordinate Calculator
Coordinates is an application that transforms geodetic and Cartesian
coordinates. It will make the conversions from Geodetic latitude,
longitude and heights to planet centered Cartesian coordinates and vice
versa. Works for various planetary ellipsoids, including user defined
ellipsoids.
Additionally, Coordinates will also compute long geodesic lines on the
ellipsoid. Given a starting latitude and longitude, a distance and a
direction, Coordinates will compute the location of the end point. Also,
it will compute the geodesic length and directions between two points of
known latitude and longitude.
Documentation of algorithms used accompanies the application.
Coordinates is offered as freeware. May be distributed. Functions on PPC
under OS8.5 and later. Not optimized for OS X.

Subject: [*] I Ching Connexion X 3.0.1 (Carbon); The Book of Changes with a new view
I Ching Connexion X 3.0.1
The I Ching Connexion is an ever-changing but always consistently interlocking
graphic representation of the way the 64 hexagrams interrelate.
As such it is the key to widen and deepen the interpretation of the
outcome of
a divination.
It features the translation James Legge made (published in 1882, England) of
the Imperial Edition of the I (published in 1715, China). This alone
makes the
program useful for anyone interested in the I Ching.
Besides that it adds two radical new views to the ancient Book of Changes:
the Connexion and the Mediator.
It also features an I Ching clock, a presentation of the link between the
I Ching and astrology. And it allows you to calculate your natal hexagram.
I Ching Connexion X v3.0.1 is carbonized: it requires a PowerPC Macintosh, at
least Mac OS 8.6 with CarbonLib v1.4 installed, or Mac OS X 10.1 - it runs
natively in both the Classic and the OS X environment.
The program takes about 2.1 MB on your hard disk and needs 2.2 MB free RAM
to run.
It does not run on 680x0 Macs.
This software is distributed as shareware (save/print disabled).
Please read 'I Ching Connexion X Read Me' for a bit more introductory info,
and 'How to Register ICC' for instructions on how to register.
Changes since v3.0:
- Fixed crash when used on pre- OS 9.1 systems.
(since v2.3.3:)
- Build for Carbon now!
- Made standard zoom state just big enough to hold the graphic.
- Remember/restore position and size for all windows between runs.
- Added standard window menu.
- Balloon help is gone (it's not available in Carbon).
- Added 'Hexagram Tips' as a replacement for balloon help;
activated by menu choice or while option key is held down.
- Added scroll wheel support (in OS X).
- Corrected minor error in Hexagram 1, 2 and 3 miscellaneous signs
numbers; they don't show up in the section menu anymore.
Enjoy the program,

Subject: [*] Web Confidential 3.0.2J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the Web Confidential package.
Web Confidential is the most powerful password manager on the Mac today.
It organizes passwords and protects them with industrial strength
encryption. It is also available for Windows and Palm operating systems.
"Version 3 is the best release of Web Confidential so far. It runs fully
native on Mac OS X and Mac OS 9. I never thought that I could port
Shared Menus to Mac OS X, but thanks to Apple's outstanding support
of the Component Manager on Mac OS X, it proofed possible. This means
that thanks to Shared Menus, you have access to your passwords via
a Shared Menu right in your browser's menu bar.", said Alco Blom.
These are the main features of Web Confidential for Mac:
Encryption : Industrial strength encryption (using BlowFish)
Automation : Automatic entry of WWW Forms and automatic HTTP Authentication
Integration : Access to your passwords in your browser and from the Dock
Synchronization : Synchronization with your Palm via a Conduit
Cross-platform : Binary compatible with Web Confidential for Windows
Other new features:
Password Generator : You can generate random passwords easily
Dock Menus : You have access to all your passwords via the Dock
Help Book : A full reference manual right onder the Help menu
Web Confidential is shareware.
Requirements: Mac OS X or Mac OS 9.
