Mozart 1.2.5 brings a comprehensive, user friendly development platform for intelligent, distributed applications. The system is the result of a decade of research in programming language design and implementation, constraint-based inference, distributed computing, and human-computer interfaces. As a result, Mozart is unequaled in expressive power and functionality. Mozart has an interactive incremental development environment and a production-quality implementation for Unix and Windows platforms. Mozart is the fruit of an ongoing research collaboration by the Mozart Consortium.

Mozart is based on the Oz language, which supports declarative programming, object-oriented programming, constraint programming, and concurrency as part of a coherent whole. For distribution, Mozart provides a true network transparent implementation with support for network awareness, openness, and fault tolerance. Security is upcoming. Mozart is an ideal platform for both general-purpose distributed applications as well as for hard problems requiring sophisticated optimization and inferencing abilities. There are many applications including sophisticated collaborative tools, multi-agent systems, and digital assistants, as well as applications in natural language understanding and knowledge representation, in scheduling and time-tabling, and in placement and configuration.

MandalaTime 1.0b brings you a convenient and non-Linear Task Organization for Filemaker 7. This is a fully-functioning limited version (The only limit is FM developers can't mod it) without any expiration or limitations- except scripts, databases, and layouts can't be modified.

As a psychologist, have often wondered- how do highly accomplished people get that much done in one life!? They also only have 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, etc. Yet they invent polio vaccine, get elected President, etc-and they may be 30, 50, 70% more talented, but not 1000% more. It is because out of the thousand things one can choose to do each day, they somehow intuitively grasp which things will serve their deepest goals. This is more a function of reflection than of minute-by-minute optimization of time usage. It doesn't help to do a lot of things FAST if you don't know WHAT TO DO!

So MandalaTime is designed to help you deeply focus on the essential WHY of what you are choosing to do. It has a simple prioritization system ( 1,2,3) and a simple status setting for each task (not started, ongoing, done) When a task is done it drops to the bottom of the priority list.

Nearly all Macintosh users are confronted daily with security problems. Although the data on your computer is not always confidential, it is very often valuable information. DiskGuard has been developed to keep your work safe without getting in your way. With DiskGuard, you can protect any hard disk connected to your Macintosh and prohibit unauthorized access.

Heres what DiskGuard offers you:

Two levels of protection
If you are the only person working on your Macintosh, you can protect your computer by typing in one password. Thats all there is to it. If your computer is shared with other people, give them a second password which limits their access, according to your own requirements, to certain days of the week or to specific hours during the day.

Permanent security
At start-up, DiskGuard requests a password. No one will be able to start the Macintosh without supplying the proper password, even if he tries to boot with a System disk or holds down the Shift key to bypass extensions. DiskGuard also keeps a close watch on your computer while you are at work. When you take a moments leave, DiskGuard automatically hides your screen from prying eyes. As soon as someone tries to access the computer, DiskGuard will prompt for the proper password.DiskGuard also keeps track of valid and invalid access attempts to your hard disk so you can see at any time if somebody tried accessing your computer during your absence.

Folder protection
DiskGuard allows you to protect folders against unauthorized access in a very simple way. From the Finder, select any folder on a protected hard disk and choose Protect Folder from the File menu. Once the folder is protected, it becomes invisible to anyone accessing the disk with the User password.

DiskGuard provides user-friendly yet complete security for your computer. Dont leave your Mac without it!

Additional PowerBook Options
Sleep instead of lock when running on battery: If you frequently run on battery power, you may prefer to check this option. Doing so will cause your PowerBook to use the sleep mode in place of the screen lock mode, thereby saving valuable battery power.Ask for password on wake-up: This feature is especially useful if you frequently leave your computer unattended while at work. Some PowerBook owners, however, may find this to be an unnecessary interruption. To allow a protected PowerBook to wakeup without requiring a password, simply deselect this option.

Compatibility
DiskGuard Remote is compatible with all Macintosh hard disks (SCSI, IDE, removable hard disks and hard disk partitions) and diskettes. Compatible with optimization and driver update software.

SilverFast DC-Virtual Light Table 6.0.2d37 provides you with a versatile software which enables fast and efficient optimization of all non-compressed RGB-Tiff-Data from the hard disk.

Instead of generating a prescan, a file is loaded from the hard disk. Images from digital cameras (low- and midrange) will especially benefit from SilverFast's LAB-Unsharp masking, which does not sharpen the color noise of single channels, but instead only sharpens the image's edges effectively.

Since all steps of processing can be monitored on the preview, the final processing is more or less one operation. Loss in quality due to repeated processing can be kept minimal. SilverFast DC contains all the known features of SilverFast for professional image optimization through an intuitive and flexible user interface giving the user full control at one glance!

SilverFast DC can also be upgraded with SilverFast JobManagement. This allows you to batch correct many images on the fly, and much more.
