Mighty Scroll
MightyScroll lets you move and scroll windows at the touch of a key. What makes MightyScroll so mighty, you might ask? It can manipulate -any- Finder window on the screen, even ones that are unselected and hiding behind other windows. Simple and extremely functional!

World Time Zones
So you want to call up your good buddy Federico who lives in Madrid, right? But you know he hates to be awakened when he’s getting his beauty sleep. So when should you call? How do you know when you both would be awake? Just what time IS it over there, anyway?? Well, as usual, Softdisk G-S comes to your rescue. As well as telling you what time to call Federico, the World Time Zones NDA generally eliminates the hassle of trying to remember how many hours away anyone is, and whether it’s later or earlier there.

Font
Cap Drop: A font with a large descender in all versions of the capital letter. This will make an excellent initial caps for letters or the beginnings of chapters in a book! Cap Drop Font, especially for your TrueType™ & bitmap collection. To use the TrueType font, you will need Pointless™ by WestCode Software 1-619-679-9200. We’ve also provided a couple of bitmap sizes for those of you who don’t have Pointless.

Clip Art
Reptiles: This month Doris brings you clip art with a reptile theme. This is some of the best looking reptile art I’ve ever seen. I enjoy it and I know you will too.

Spencer’s Corner
English Manor: The English would no doubt take umbrage at the title of this month’s Spencer’s Corner graphic. The header is so named for reminding me of a mantlepiece I saw in a manor house in the Cotswolds years ago, but to make it truly British would require my toning its colors down a mile. It is loud, admittedly, but hard to look away from at a glance——which is the key to eye-catching art. Your title in a text box within its frame, whether of a story you’ve written or of an event you want to publicize, should get noticed even on a crowded bulletin board. That’s what counts, after all. The English are always humphing about something or other anyway.

Font
Symbolix: I created this font when I was working on a paper on Symbols and I wanted to include graphic examples, but didn’t want to mess with importing them and then page-laying them out. Of course, once I’d started, this project took on a life of its own, so now I have a complete Font set. Sadly, I ran out of symbols before I ran out of space, so I threw in a few graphics too.
