Cave Dig 3 is a wonderful and challenging arcade/puzzle game with beautiful graphics, a great soundtrack and a simple yet entertaining gameplay. You control Simon, a small fox with great powers, who is transported in a fantastic underground world. You will have to dig, move stones, travel through warps and ultimately use a laser pistol to escape from the hostile caves. Watch out for the creatures! They will block your path, chase you and squash you if you are not careful. Cave Dig 3 is bound to become a shareware classic. The cheats and all the levels are unlocked in the registered version of Cave Dig 3. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: ò Mac OS 8 or better on any Power Macintosh. Cave Dig 3 is a classic application and should function normally under Mac OS X. ò 10 Mb of storage space ò 640x480 screen or larger, supporting 256, thousands, or millions of colors. ò Draw Sprocket and Quick Time 3 or better [Archived as /info-mac/game/arc/cavedig-3.hqx; 9697 K] ------------------------------ Date: 2 Jan 2002 From: "Fr. John Robbins" To: Subject: [*] Coordinates 2.4.3 - Planetary Surface Coordinate Calculator Coordinates is an application that transforms geodetic and Cartesian coordinates. It will make the conversions from Geodetic latitude, longitude and heights to planet centered Cartesian coordinates and vice versa. Works for various planetary ellipsoids, including user defined ellipsoids. Additionally, Coordinates will also compute long geodesic lines on the ellipsoid. Given a starting latitude and longitude, a distance and a direction, Coordinates will compute the location of the end point. Also, it will compute the geodesic length and directions between two points of known latitude and longitude. Documentation of algorithms used accompanies the application. Coordinates is offered as freeware. May be distributed. Functions on PPC under OS8.5 and later. Not optimized for OS X.

As such it is the key to widen and deepen the interpretation of the outcome of a divination. It features the translation James Legge made (published in 1882, England) of the Imperial Edition of the I (published in 1715, China). This alone makes the program useful for anyone interested in the I Ching. Besides that it adds two radical new views to the ancient Book of Changes: the Connexion and the Mediator. It also features an I Ching clock, a presentation of the link between the I Ching and astrology. And it allows you to calculate your natal hexagram. I Ching Connexion X v3.0.1 is carbonized: it requires a PowerPC Macintosh, at least Mac OS 8.6 with CarbonLib v1.4 installed, or Mac OS X 10.1 - it runs natively in both the Classic and the OS X environment. The program takes about 2.1 MB on your hard disk and needs 2.2 MB free RAM to run. It does not run on 680x0 Macs. This software is distributed as shareware (save/print disabled). Please read 'I Ching Connexion X Read Me' for a bit more introductory info, and 'How to Register ICC' for instructions on how to register. Changes since v3.0: - Fixed crash when used on pre- OS 9.1 systems. (since v2.3.3:) - Build for Carbon now! - Made standard zoom state just big enough to hold the graphic. - Remember/restore position and size for all windows between runs. - Added standard window menu. - Balloon help is gone (it's not available in Carbon). - Added 'Hexagram Tips' as a replacement for balloon help; activated by menu choice or while option key is held down. - Added scroll wheel support (in OS X). - Corrected minor error in Hexagram 1, 2 and 3 miscellaneous signs numbers; they don't show up in the section menu anymore.
