seven random chords will be played on the musical staff from within the
parameters that you have defined. You answer the questions by playing
the correct notes on the computerized piano. You press the piano keys in
the same order that you read chords in. For example, if the chord were C
Major you would answer by playing C, E, and G on the piano. The notes
you've selected will remain highlighted and numbered sequentially 1, 2,

If you have accidentally selected an incorrect note, just click on that
note again and it will be cleared. The interface is so easy that even a

From: Angela Brett <[email protected]>

Subject: Equate! 2.0.1 - a mathematical card game.

Equate! is a one-player mathematical card game - you have to make

equations by dragging arithmetic operators between the cards you're

dealt. Try to make the longest equation you can to get the most

points. If you can't make an equation, you'll have to deal more

cards, whose values will be added to the current ones. Once you've

created an equation, you can remove it and the spaces will be filled

with cards from the deck. There are options for how many cards will

be dealt at a time, and you can play a timed or untimed game. Each

combination of options has its own high score list.

This version fixes a bug and adds the capability of importing

highscore lists from other versions.

Master Math Word Problems is an easy to use program to aide students in
learning to identify key words that identify mathematical operations and work
through mathematical word problems. Word problems are considered important
because they take math into the real world. Unfortunately solving word
problems is one of the areas where students have the most difficulties in
elementary math. Master Math Word Problems helps students develop word
problem skills through practice. It features optional on screen tips and
three practice modes. Results of each round as well as missed questions may
be printed with student name and time/date stamp.

#### BINHEX monster-ears-11.hqx ****

From: Peter Kartu <[email protected]>
Subject: MonsterEars 1.1.0

The MonsterEars 1.1.0 software will teach you to recognize the harmony
AROUND YOU from the relationship to the NOTE YOU ARE PLAYING at the
time. Free your self from playing set chord changes and really follow
the harmonic variations no matter where they lead ! This skill will TAKE
YOUR PLAYING TO A NEW LEVEL. There are many ear training methods out
there. Most of them are built on the classical model of recognizing
"functional harmony" and intervals. This is of little use to jazz
musicians because the chords of jazz are far more complex than mere
triads and the process of recognizing intervals is to slow to be a
practical method ON THE BAND STAND. Monster ears is much more effective
and FAST. On the band stand YOU ALREADY KNOW what note you are playing.
Monster Ears will teach you to instantly recognize that your note is
major third, sharpened 5th or whatever RELATIVE to what is going on
around you. With this PERCEPTION you can then instantly to RECTIFY
MISTAKES, play inside the chord, INTENTIONALLY PLAY OUTSIDE the chord or
whatever you wish. Just think of it you will be able to EFFECTIVELY
IMPROVISE on tunes you have NEVER EVEN PRACTICED!

How it works.
Simply taping on a mac key generates a "virtual band" jamming away on a
set tonality!. You play any note of your choosing which the program
tracks, and then learn its relationship to the tonality via the on
screen answers. When you have success with one tonality simply
hit a key or a sustain pedal and move to a new tonality. Eventually you
will develop to the point of handling a new tonality on EVERY BEAT at a
fast tempo!

This demo is fully functional for 60 seconds. Purchasers of the program
receive an unlimited version that will run on their particular machine.

System Requirements:
OS 7.6.1 or better
66 MHz CPU or better
5-16MB of free ram
OMS AND EXTERNAL synth required (sorry QuickTime musical instruments
were just not fast enough)

#### BINHEX morse-mania-231-osx.hqx ****

From: Chris Smolinski <[email protected]>
Subject: Morse Mania OSX 2.3.1

Morse Mania is a morse code tutor for the Macintosh. It helps you learn
morse code by first introducing you to the morse alphabet, so you can learn
what each character sounds like. Then you can practice by listening to
random characters being sent, and test your ability. This version adds the
ability to play a text file, making it easy to create your own practice
sessions.

In addition to drills to help learn the various characters, Morse Mania
also allows complete text files to be sent, so that "real life" messages
can be used for practice. In addition sample QSOs can be automatically
generated and sent, so users can practice copying real style communications
between ham operators.

Morse Mania supports the Farnsworth mode, which increases the speed of the
dots and dashes, and lengthens the pause between letters sent, allowing the
student to learn morse code at higher speeds more easily.

Finally, it allows the use of the Koch method of learning the code,
considered by many to be the easiest way to learn high speed morse code.

#### BINHEX music-mentor-12.hqx ****

From: Angela Brett <[email protected]>
Subject: MusicMentor 1.2

MusicMentor is a shareware HyperCard stack to help music students
learn to read written music quickly. It shows a note on a music stave
and asks the user to click on the corresponding key on the three
octave piano keyboard within a certain time. The user can change the
amount of time allowed for each note, and also decide whether to be
tested on whole notes, sharps/flats, or both. MusicMentor remembers
and tests more frequently on the notes which each user gets wrong.
MusicMentor remembers test results and missed notes for any number of
different players, so that in a class or home situation where there
are several MusicMentor users and only one computer, each user can
still have his or her own results stored.

Changes in this version:

* Made the correct note on the piano keyboard highlight if the wrong
one is pressed during a test.
* Made the note show on the stave, the key on the piano keyboard
highlight and the note play when a note in the 'missed notes' list is
clicked on.
* Made the note show on the stave when a key on the piano keyboard is
pressed, as well as playing the sound.
* Fixed a bug which showed an incorrect amount of time remaining
before the shareware fee had to be paid when MusicMentor was first
used.

MusicMentor 1.1 requires a 640x400 or larger screen, and HyperCard or
HyperCard Player 2.1 or later.

MusicMentor may be included in any CD-ROM, provided I get a copy of the CD.--

Twistory 2.2 - History Browser

"Twistory" is a freeware history browser. It displays the lifetimes
and travels of historic figures, and the dates and locations of historic
events. It is a tool for keeping track of when and where things happened,
and their relationships to each other. It is meant to provide a way to
keep track of the multitude of different peoples, dynasties, empires and
developments throughout history.

The names of hundreds of historic figures are familiar to most people,
but it's a challenge to remember when and where they all lived. Many of
them are frequently referred to or alluded to in literature or in the
media; many of them made the world what it is today. But it can be
difficult to remember even what century some of them lived in. I wrote
this programme as an aid to sorting them all out in one's mind. It can
show in an instant the time and region in which they lived. It also
answers questions like, "Who else was living at that time, and what else
was happening in the world?"

Twistory is a historical dictionary that you can use to create maps
and time-lines. A resource of over 3200 people, events and places is
included. The database has an open text format, so that more historical
information can be added by any user. A complete description of the file
format is included.

The two main windows are the time-line window, which shows lives and
events against a variable time scale, and the map window, which shows
people and events in their geographic locations during an interval of time.
There is also a genealogy window which shows the ancestors and descendants
of a selected person, and an info window that shows additional details
about a person or event. Another window lists all milestones occurring on
a particular day of the year. There is also a search function.

Version 2.2 has several subtle enhancements over the previous version,
and a few bug fixes. The database has also grown again.

Twistory will run on any Mac with system 7 or later. It needs at
least 3 Mb of free RAM. With a large monitor or with several windows open,
about 5 Mb is better.

Twistory is now freeware. You may use and pass on Twistory free of
charge. It may be reproduced and distributed on CD-ROM or other media, or
placed on any web site. (See the instructions for conditions on
publication.)
