Some interesting PD software I've picked up recently:
o MCAD2 -- this is the latest and very greatest version
of the popular pd cad-cam package. Includes a hearty library
of circuit board parts for designing circuits.
o PREFS -- use this to change your pointer without having to
go through preferences. Just type --> PREF pointername
o FSII.TXT -- Explains how to run FS II scenery files out of
RAM: for faster screen updates

Is this one online somewhere ? Or could you upload it to
some convenient VAX ?

| 612.2 | More Stuff... | LEDS::ACCIARDI | Fri Jul 24 1987 18:23 | 24 | |
I have gotten some interesting items myself lately...
* Journal.arc - This program records keyboard and mousestrokes
for any specified period of time. The user simply begins recording
his inputs, whether they be from mouse, keyboard, or joystick.
Any other user can 'playback' the journal file, and it is as if
you were sitting in on the original session. This program has some
very powerful potential, since one could study how Jim Sachs makes
an Amiga masterpiece painting. It's obvious use is for self-running
demos. The ARChive includes a sample CLI playback session.
* ElGato.arc - Another sample video created with VideoScape3D (which is
shipping, BTW). This demo is rather spectacular, and defies
description. The author has compressed 86 med-res color frames for
playback. The loop is an animated tiger (digitized, not painted)
walking along. The entire window that the tiger is walking in rotates
in and out of the screen along a verticle axis. Insanely impressive.
The ARChive is rather enormous, (over 350K) so you'd really better
want this before I UL it. Also, a SHOWANIM player is required,
which I will also supply.
Any takers for one or both of the above?

Re: .2 I would love to have a copy of ElGato.arc. I saw it running at a BCS meeting, and want to use it to blow away a few of my friends. It's very impressive. | |||||

re: .2,.3
me too!! i've missed getting my usenet fix of new stuff, i'd love
to get ElGato (also saw it at BCS). Looked like a cat, not a tiger,
to me.

I think it would be easier for everyone if I just sent out disks
with the needed goodies on them, since it takes an hour or so for the
download process. I will send out copies this weekend to those
who have replied through this note, and those who e-mailed me (you
know who you are).
In return, please drop a blank in the mail, and hand over your
first-born female children.
