THE BEST OF SHAREWARE To Kill a MockingBird (MOCKBI.LZH) is an electronic guide to that eternal favorite still found on school curriculums. The guide contains maps, character summaries, quizzes and other aids for studying the novel.
Mouse Warp (MOUSWARP.LZH) is a handy utility that allows you to change the default Windows mouse pointers. Instead of the boring default arrow and hourglass you can use a smiley face, aeroplane, wristwatch or even the hand used on Apple Macintoshes.
Elephant Clock (ELPH21.LZH) is a Windows clock that adopts the antics of animated elephants in cartoons; it is afraid of mice, or more specifically mice pointers. Move the pointer towards the clock and it will move away, allowing you to work unhindered.
Using SmartDoc (SMTDOC12.LZH) you can extract text from Windows help files, either to print or to place in a plain text file.
Capture (CAPT31.LZH) is an improvement on the Alt+Print Screen function, enabling you to capture any segment of a Windows screen and save it as a bitmap or icon (in the registered version).
These titles are uploaded weekly to the Melbourne PC Users Group BBS. -Jed Bowtell.
FOR THE MAC.
DarkSide of the Mac is a screensaver that rivals the commercial packages like AfterDark or Pyro, as a matter of fact DarkSide runs most AfterDark modules.
Its advantage are that it is an application rather than a control panel, therefore minimising system conflicts.
Folder Icon Maker. When you drop an icon or application over Folder Icon Maker, a folder is made with the icon of the file or application you dropped on it.
Welcome allows you to change the ``Welcome to Macintosh" greeting into anything you like. Welcome to Mayhem ...? -Michael Scheurer.
