This announcement is from:
Bob Clark, <bobc@oz.net>
Peek-a-Boo is a shareware ($10) utility to monitor and manipulate all running processes. You can watch how much CPU time each process uses, as well as look at any piece of information available through the Process Manager.
Peek-a-Boo lets you open CPU history windows to track how much processor power a process uses.
Logging windows can be opened, too, to watch memory and processor usage, optionally saving the information to a tab-delimited file for further analysis.
The latest version of Peek-a-Boo focuses on ease of use. New features include:
- - Sort by a variety of attributes, including Name, AcTix, PSN, Signature, FreeMem, and more. - Simplified Preferences dialog. - - New ProcInfo menu to specify which attributes are displayed in the main Peek-a-Boo window. - "Grabbable" dividers between column headers to resize the width of each column. - - Select processes by clicking in the memory map. - - Select a background color for all Peek-a-Boo windows.
Peek-a-Boo 1.3 is available now. Download links and more information are available at the Peek-a-Boo web site:

Announcing the new release of:
Type / Creator Database v3.2
By Ilan Szekely Programming: Daniel Azuma Much of the data: Nikolas Kovalenko
June 1998
Background
Every Macintosh program has two four character codes associated with it - its Type and Creator. The latter is unique to each program and enables the Finder to attach documents to their parent applications. This database tries to compile as many codes as possible. It is presented as a stand-alone application, easy to use.
NEW 291 new entries, giving a total of 18154 code pairs and about 1700 have PC equivalent extension codes.
1. The database now includes equivalent PC Extension codes for about 10% of the entries. 2. A new set of PC related databases is now included. 3. All new versions are now locked by passwords.
This is almost the only public source of Type/Creator data. It inludes now code-pairs for
- - over 6000 applications, about 860 of them are games. - - 625 INITs - - 630 CDEVs - - 100 Movie files - - over 470 graphic files - - ca 1700 PC equivalent extension codes.
I asure you this (list of 18154 code pairs) is only a partial list... Who says there is no software for MACs ?

This tidbit is from:
David D. Kilzer, <ddkilzer@earthlink.net>
"After many arduous months of negotiations, we have finally signed the porting contract for MacOS. The version will be developed in the USA. More details will become available in due course."
Versions for BeOS, Linux and Solaris were also announced. It's not clear whether the Linux port will be available for MkLinux/LinuxPPC, too. (I assume it would require a 'simple' recompile, though.)

This special offer is from:
Bob Williams, <Williar2@muohio.edu>
TriVectus is pleased to announce the first update to their well-received FlightMath. Version 1.1 includes all of the features of the original, plus an enhanced interface and density altitude calculations. From the press release:
"Aimed at pilots and flight simulator aficionados, FlightMath dramatically eases the tedious mathematical calculations associated with planning a flight. Features include:
* Wind course corrections: calculate the heading necessary to compensate for wind
* Fuel analysis: compute any combination of travel time, burn rate, and capacity, using any combination of units
* Speed/distance analysis: compute any combination of travel time, speed, and distance, using any combination of units
* Density altitude: calculate the density altitude for a given temperature and pressure altitude
FlightMath performs all of these calculations with great speed and accuracy. No longer will pilots need to waste time fussing with such devices as the ASA E6-B Flight Computer."
TriVectus was recently formed from the merger of Enterprise Software and BattleAxe Software. Though we have a new name, we maintain our old philosophy, which is to produce the very best Mac-only shareware software that we can.
As we did with the release of FlightMath 1.0, we are recognizing EvangeLista's efforts to further the Mac cause by offering them a 20% discount -- only $16!
You can download FlightMath from <http://www.trivectus.com/>. When you're ready to register, visit <http://www.trivectus.com/evangelist/index.shtml> and download the special EvangeList version of the Register program, which will allow you to register via e-mail and receive your discount.

This special offer is from:
Steve <Becker,<steve@macease.com>
I'm pleased to announce the release of WebPrint Plus, a Mac-only Utility program. WebPrint Plus is the first in a series of Mac-based utilities that my company, MacEase, will be releasing over the next several months. Each utility is designed to be easy-to-use and make the time you spend with your Mac both more productive and even more enjoyable!
Another nice feature is that these utilities don't require remembering key combinations, don't require launching a separate application, don't take up a lot of Desktop space, and don't require a lot of your system's resources. Yes, you can have your cake and eat it,too!
The following excerpts from WebPrint's ReadMe file concisely state *some* of WebPrint's features:
When using your Web browser or working with a document in almost any program have you found yourself wishing you could save a few words here and a paragraph there without having to launch yet another program to accomplish this? In a multi-page document have you wished you could quickly print only the text that was of interest to you, without having to first figure out which page in the article the text resided on? Have you wished you could easily combine snippets of non-contiguous text and print them out together? Would you like to be able to time and date stamp these selections even add a label/comment to them? WebPrint Plus allows you to accomplish this and much more easily and without having to launch another program or remember *any* keyboard commands!
Requirements
A Macintosh computer with System 7.0 or later and a 68020 or later processor.
A free, fully functional 21-day demonstration version may be downloaded at:
<http://www.kagi.com/MacEase>
A registered version that includes a 30-day money back satisfaction guarantee is available at
<http://order.kagi.com/?L8T2>.
Special Price
While the regular registration fee is only $15.,for the next 30 days I'm pleased to offer Evangelist readers an even lower, special price of $12. WebPrint Plus includes both written documentation and an online Help system (you probably won't need it after the first day though :-) ). Technical support may be obtained by emailing me at the following address: <steve_webprint@macease.com>.
I hope you enjoy using WebPrint Plus as much as I do...your comments are always welcome!

This special offer is from:
Holly Camerota, <holly@togatees.com>
Subject: $$ Toga TeesTM - Last Chancc for MacExpo Special MacIntosh Toga Tees in Latin
Evangelistas!
We at Toga Tees "Think Different" - in Latin!
This is the last opportunity to own one of two original, great Special Edition Apple Macintosh tees for $24.90 each, delivered to a U.S. address in time for you to wear to MacExpo in the Big Apple on July 8-10!
These tees are available nowhere else but through the Toga Tees site, and for this special offer, are available in Large or Extra Large only.
With Latin sayings placed on 100% cotton classic tees, and the clever translated contemporary English quip and a pronunciation key on a "Crib Note" upside down on the hem, Toga TeesTM elicit curiosity, encourage intellectual exchange, and entertain. The shirts are armed with double-duty hangtag/bookmarks that sport the Toga Tees slogans "I wear Toga TeesTM, et tu?" and "Erudition for the Masses." A traditional column trademark underscores the phrase for emphasis and identifies the garment as an authentic Toga TeeTM. The shirt also carries the official Apple Logo.
First, the immortal words of Guy Kawasaki: "Calcitra Pugam" - "Kick Butt!" on Ash tees with Patrician Purple lettering and the Apple logo.
And for those armed with the knowledge of the power of the Mac: "Scientia est Potentia" - "Knowledge is Power!" White with Toga Teal lettering and the Apple logo.
To view these exceptional tees, click "View a Sample" on the web site page: <http://www.togatees.com/mac.html>
NOTA BENE: For this special offer, shirts are available in LARGE or EXTRA LARGE only. Use the special Shopping Chariot section on the page to make your selection. Since Gladiator size tees (XXL and XXXL, and $2 more each) are special ordered and take a bit longer, we can't guarantee they'll arrive in time for MacExpo. (We have only two gladiator-size models on hand in XXXL. Will you be lucky enough to get one?)
ORDERS MUST BE PLACED BY MONDAY, JUNE 22 to ensure timely delivery for MacExpo.
(And while you're at the Toga Tees site, check out our new "Valley Girl Version" tee. )
Mac Regit! (Mac rules!)
