Application file: 



An orbital-motion visualisation application. It displays Keplerian orbits using an intuitive graphical interface, for both satellite dynamics and planetary astronomy. Orrery displays solar system bodies including the sun and planets, minor planets, and our moon, as well as earth satellites and stars. It
is optimised for classroom presentation, but may also be used to determine visibility, look angles, and ground tracks. Orrery allows both plane projections and perspective views, with either user-selected view angles or automatic tracking.

Compatibility: 

Orrery requires system 7, and this first release is only for PowerPC. It uses about 530K of disk space, and needs about 2 Mb of RAM to run comfortably. With a large monitor or with several windows open, 4 Mb is better.

I/O/D 4: The Web Stalker

0
0
Application file: 

The Web Stalker is a unique example of the re-visualisation of data-space at a deep level by artists. The Web Stalker uses the fact of machinic and interpersonal communication across the network, and the technological structure and functions of the network to radically amplify or reroute them. Most artistic work on the web is channelled into providing content for web sites. These sites are bound to the way that Browsers interpret the mark-up language (HTML) which describes and formats web documents.

CodeWarrior Discover Programming Edition

The CD's root directory and the folder containing the CodeWarrior IDE.
A CodeWarrior project window as seen in this version of the IDE.

This CD-ROM includes a version of CodeWarrior somewhere between Lite and Pro: It's similar to the Pro version (so says the ReadMe), but only generates 68K apps, not PowerPC. The IDE is version 2.0.

This version of CodeWarrior supports Pascal, C, and C++, includes Metrowerks's PowerPlant C++ library, and can build for 68K Macs.

The CD also includes several classic-Mac programming books as PDFs:

  • Learn C on the Macintosh
  • Learn C++ on the Macintosh
  • Learn Java on the Macintosh
  • Macintosh To Windows
  • Pascal Programming
Compatibility: 

The Mac OS-hosted version of the CodeWarrior IDE requires a Motorola MC68020, MC68030, MC68040, or PowerPC 601, 603, or 604 processor, 8 megabytes of RAM, Color QuickDraw, Mac OS System 7.1 or later, and a CD-ROM drive to install the software.

For optimum performance, we recommend that you use a Macintosh equipped with a MC68040 or PowerPC microprocessor, with at least 16 megabytes of RAM.

パズルゲーム ドレミおとし」(Puzzle Game Do-Re-Mi Otoshi) is a Columns-like falling blocks puzzle game developed by SME Intermedia and published by Sony Music Entertainment under its super-budget Shock Price 500 Game Series label. Predictably, it was only ever released in Japan.

Would not run for me, presumably because I do not have KanjiTalk installed.
