Subject: ACRONYMS v3.4 - A Crazy Roundup Of Nonsense You Must See
This version has 896 new acronyms. If you already have an older
version of ACRONYMS, you can instead download Update List Indigo from
http://acronyms.co.nz/updates/indigo.hqx to get the new acronyms.
[words and phrases in capitals are acronyms whose expansions are in the stack]
The purpose of this FREEWARE HYPERCARD STACK is to provide an
introduction to a MIRTHFUL use of ACRONYMS on the INTERNET. Have you
ever wished you had a better alternative to LOL? Or thought "Who
makes up these WITTICISMs?" Well anybody can, you can! Don't say
you're JUST TOO BUSY! and you don't want to READ A MANUAL. You can
create an ACRONYM out of ALMOST ANYTHING! You can make them from any
old CLICHE, use them to tell people to SHUT UP, state that THAT'S NOT
FUNNY, tell a GIRL that she's FEMININE, SMILE a SMUG SMILE or just
find FLAWS in the MEMORY of a UNIVERSITY EINSTEIN.
Take a DIRTY MIND, add a CHUCKLE, stir in a QUIP, and a QUANTITY of
SNORTING, stick on a DISCLAIMER, and that's THE WAY THINGS ARE!
You can politely tell people to PISS OFF, PUT A SOCK IN IT, BE CIVIL
or tell them THAT'S CHILDISH. You can tell people that they're
talking BOLLOCKS! And if you're ON A ROLL, you can create a HUMDINGER
of a reply to someone who won't TRY ONSCREEN HELP.
So who began this BIZARRE ADVENTURE through the ALPHABET? A CRAZED
KIWI and an ABNORMAL IRISH man with a DIRTY MIND, who found
themselves making up LAUGHTER ACRONYMS during their EPISTLES to the
ANTIPODES - a sequence of combinations started when TONY MCCOY
O'GRADY (MAXIOGEE) sent ANGELA BRETT AN EMAIL about his SLEUTHing in
some of her SHAREWARE. They decided not to continue DOING NOTHING
about their HILARIOUS ACRONYM stash, so they compiled them into this
STACK, and in the process created a SUPERHERO called MACGIRL, her
SIDEKICK KEYBOARD, and many DASTARDly VILLAINs.
ACRONYMS is also on the WORLD WIDE WEB. Check out

into the stack) and new versions of the stack, view the acronymist

If you don't have ACRONYMS, you can download the latest version of

Unlike previous update lists, the release of Update List Ruby does
not coincide with the release of a new version of the stack
containing the new apronyms. Even if you download the latest version
of ACRONYMS, you will still need to import Update List Ruby to get
the new apronyms.

American Hangman - Presidents and States v2.02
A Carbonized Macintosh Educational Game
Merrimack, New Hampshire, January 20, 2003: Ken Winograd and Space-Time
Associates announced today the "Carbonized" release of version 2.02 of a
fun Macintosh game called American Hangman - Presidents and States.
American Hangman is an educational game based on the classic hangman
word guessing game we all played when we were kids. American Hangman
merges the best of our Presidents3000 and States3000 games into one
inexpensive game. American Hangman features colorful, non-violent
graphics, digitized sounds, synthesized speech, pictures and
information, and options designed especially for visually challenged
users.
American Hangman is "secretly educational". It's played for fun, but you
can't help learning. Learn the names of the Presidents and their Vice
Presidents and First Ladies. Learn to recognize the face of each of the
Presidents. Learn their terms of office, their party affiliations, the
sequential ordering of the Presidents and more. Learn the States, the
State Capitals, State Birds, State Flowers, State Trees, State Nicknames
and more.
Version 2.02 changes the official name of the game from 'American
Hangman' to 'American Hangman - Presidents and States' to better
differentiate this game from our more general hangman-type word-guessing
game called Hang3000. Also, added Special Web Sites menu, updated
copyright and other minor cosmetic changes.
American Hangman requires a Macintosh (PPC-only) with screen resolution
of 800x600 (or more), and OS9 or OSX.
For more information, or to download or securely register the program,
please visit the American Hangman web page at:

Subject: Apronyms 0.92 (OS X)
Changes in this version:
Fixed a bug with merging in new apronyms from the web site.
Changed the names of the main window and application menu from
'Acronyms' to 'Apronyms'
Description:
Apronyms allows you to view the apronyms from the Apronyms web site
(http://apronyms.com) without using the internet. You can also add
your own apronyms and either keep them for your own personal
enjoyment or submit them to be added to the web site. You can
download new and updated apronyms from the web site at any time,
without losing your own additions. If you want to share an apronym or
list of apronyms with a friend, you can export apronyms to a text
file.
Apronyms can be browsed in their alphabetic listings, category
listings, or through the very flexible search facility.
The 'Website' menu provides easy access to parts of the Apronyms web
site which may be useful when you're creating an apronym.
For the uninitialised, an apronym is an a propos acronym... one which
means something relevant to what it stands for. An example is MAC for
My Apple Computer. Apronyms are a popular form of word play and can
also be used as mnemonics. For more information, see
http://apronyms.com/apronyms.html
Apronyms runs on Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
For earlier versions of Mac OS X, there is only the simple Acronym
Checker, which can check an acronym for validity and submit it to the
web site. For more information on Apronyms or Acronym Checker, see

Chocoletters is a puzzle game. You have to find how the computer mixed
up 36 letters and figures in a 6 by 6 grid. To succeed you may ask for
paths leading from one letter to another. With several paths you can
deduce the positions of the letters. The score depends on the number of
paths and the time spent to finish.
You can see examples in English or in French at:

Chocoletters should run on all of the 68020 System 7 + Quicktime
Macintoshes and later with a 640x480 color screen or more. Chocoletters
can play your own music files:
You need Quicktime 3.0 to hear good sounds in Midi files.
You need Quicktime 4.0 to play mp3 files.
What's new in version 1.7 ?
- You can ask for a path by clicking on an already played tile in the grid
- Handy buttons for the more used functions
- Some other minor changes

By Erik Oliver
Version 1.0

System Requirements:
* PPC Based Macintosh Compatible computer
* ample memory for the dictionary file you are using.
This program is similar in many respects to what one might use the 'grep' program
for on a UNIX box. The idea here is to simplify the process of using a grep-like
program for crossword puzzle assistance.
You need the application, Crossword, and a text file consisting of the
words/phrases that you wish to search in. I have included a NYTimes file which
consists of the words from a number of weeks worth of New York Times Crossword
Puzzles. A large english language dictionary is available with the program
Anagram 1.5 in the Info-Mac archives. (The slow speed of that program on my
PowerMac lead me to write this program.)
This is not a top notch Mac program but a quick and dirty tool to assist
crossword puzzle fans. Thus there are no guarantees express or implied for using
this program and any use is at your own risk. This program and the associated
dictionary file are freeware.

Cryptix is a computer version of the ³Crypto-Quotes² puzzles
found in newspapers. A game consists of you being presented with
a phrase, but each letter is encrypted to another. For example
³Hello, how are you today?² may be shown as ³MQVVA, MAX SNQ EAP
LABSE?² It is your job to figure out which each letter means.
Cryptix 1.1 requires a 68020 processor or better (Macintosh II or
better), System 7.0 or newer, 384K or more RAM, and about 825K of
disk space. Cryptix is fat binary so it runs natively on both
PowerPC and 68K Macintoshes. Version 1.1.1 adds many new features
and bug fixes over the previous (1.0) version.
Please feel free to upload Cryptix to other BBS¹s, FTP archives,

Version 6.0 allows you to choose the gender of your therapist (male or female

Fortune Hangman v1.0
------- ------- ----
Fortune Hangman is a game that plays the classic hangman game with the
phrases in a UNIX fortune file. It comes with a fortune file that has
about 650 fortunes. You can add your own or totally replace the one I have
included with one of your own. The only catch is that all fortunes must be
less than 84 characters. I think its pretty habit forming. I could play

My first game. Try to guess a word that another person entered

Dear Moderators,
Enclosed is guesswords1.02.cpt.hqx, a Hypercard 2.0 game stack that
resembles the game of MasterMind, except it uses five-letter words
instead of colored pegs. It is a Compact Pro archive. 83K uncompressed.
GuessWords is "Compassionware" and "postcardware"
Please replace version 1.0.1 with 1.0.2
Version 1.0.2 fixes some problems discovered in 1.0.1. Thanks to Rick Lee
of Ottawa for alerting me to these problems and making suggestions for
fixing them. Also, thanks to his wife for sending the first postcard!!!
Comments welcome and appreciated...

Karma Manager v 1.0 anagramming program
Once upon a time there was a program called ARS MAGNA by Michael Morton
which created anagrams. Alas, it didn't run on my system, so undaunted,
I decided to write my own. It has a reasonable (if sparse) Mac interface,
and it runs in the background under System 7.
Karma Manager is a program which takes a word or phrase and rearranges
the letters into other words or phrases. For example, if you take the
phrase "Anagram Maker" you can rearrange the letters to get "Karma Manager."
Karma Manager comes with a dictionary of words which it will use to create
anagrams, or you can supply your own dictionary or dictionaries. It will
also read the ARS MAGNA dictionaries so you can still use those if you have
them (and paid for them :-).
The output is dumped by default to a resizable window and it can optionally
capture the output in a text file.
Karma Manager is Shareware and costs $7.

Mindscope's Word Trilogy is 3 fun word games in one! Form words out of
scrambled letter tiles, catch colorful bonus blocks, and time spinning
letters in each of the games to achieve victory! The first game is
'Scrolling Challenge', where the player has to get as many words as
possible while they fall faster and faster! The second game is 'Under
the Red', for those who like the slower, more strategic games. 'Under
the Red' asks the player to empty all of the tiles on screen until there
are none left above the red line.. don't get caught without words! The
third game in the trilogy is the hectic, fast paced 'Red Line Fever'.
Every word you score pushes a descending red bar upward, keeping you
above the line of defeat! Don't get mental block!

Subject: Numerarium: shareware game
Numerarium is a challenging number game that involves Roman numerals.
It is a fun game for anybody interested in math puzzles. The target age
group is age 10 and up. Grad students of mathematics will enjoy this
also.
Students who have to learn the Roman numeral system are provided with a
motivation to really wanting to know what LII, CXC, DLXXXIX etc. stand
for. People who think they know the Roman numeral system will probably
found out they are not so fluent as they thought they were.
An all-time high score is kept, and represented, of course, in Roman
numerals.
The game works as follows:
- you are given 6 numbers
- you are given 1 target number
Your task is to combine the 6 numbers, using addition, multiplication,
subtraction and division, and get to the target number. You don't have
to use all 6, but each number you can only use once.
For example, try to make 431 with the numbers 8 10 25 2 75 6.
Now imagine all numbers are represented in Roman numerals...
The game has two complexity levels and generates thousands and thousands
of problems.
The puzzles can be solved at your own pace or you can race against the
clock. You can also earn extra bonus points if you opt to compete
against the machine and beat it.
After you have solved a puzzle you can check how the computer would have
solved it, and delight in its ingenuity, or sometimes, in your own
ingenuity and its stupidity.

Here are a few of the possibilities:
You low-budget shovel-full of second-hand foot fungus!
You cantankerous heap of foreign horse livers!
You pathetic pile of defective toad tumors!
You revolting load of stenchy walrus blubber!
You slovenly excuse for contaminated bug parts!
You insignificant tub of freeze-dried maggot brains!
You contemptible mass of crumby muskox droppings!
You insignificant toilet-full of moldy frog fat!
You obnoxious bag of rotting camel flops!
You repulsive crock of fly-covered mule froth!

You blundering glob of sloshy navel lint!
You insignificant mass of stenchy hogwash!
You slovenly shovel-full of contaminated muskox droppings!
You cantankerous stack of decaying goat carcasses!
You indescribable toilet-full of imitation armpit hairs!

This stack is free. It is designed for fun, but use these
insults at your own risk! I am not responsible if you are
disowned, dismembered, or disliked for using these insults.

'drawing balls' and achieving the word 'RIGHT' as column, row or diagonal.
Further, there are 'red balls' to change the course of the game.
Right! 4.1 can only be used on PowerMacs (for 68K Macs there is a Right! 3.4

directions (up, down, back, front).
The purpose of Search Designer is to simplify the construction of these
word searches to increase efficiency and time to work on ideas rather
than coming up with random letters. It is extremely useful for school,
as word searches with good clues to the words can have educational
value, and Search Designer makes construction of these simple.
Reading all of the Documentation is recommended before using this
program.
Search Designer is Shareware and costs a mere $15.00.

From: Peanut Software
Subject: String Up Steve Release 2.0 for the Macintosh
String Up Steve 2.0 is the latest release of the outrageously
animated variation on the classic game of hangman, where
guessing wrong can absolutely ruin Steve's day.
The object of the game is to guess the word without stringing
up Steve by selecting letters from the bottom of the screen.
If you guess right, the results are displayed. If you guess
wrong...well, Steve gains a body part. If Steve is complete
before the word is complete, you (and Steve) lose the round.
But stringing up Steve is fun. So it's okay to lose... and
lose lots. (Don't tell Steve Chapin...)
String Up Steve comes complete with an internal dictionary
containing over 10,000 words.

With Vinco Bingo your own list of words (e.g., vocabulary, grammatical forms,
cultural items, etc.) can be automatically made into sets of "bingo" cards in
the language of your choice. Each card of the set will be different, containing
a different random selection of your words arranged in a random location in the
boxes on the card. Included with the set of cards is a sheet with all of your
words listed in random order; you can use this sheet to call out the
definitions of your words when you play the game with your students.

From: (Richard McDonald) mcdonald@iosphere.net
Subject: WordHider 1.0
WordHider 1.0 is a program to create word-search puzzles from a vocabulary
you supply. With no built-in vocabulary, it is not a program for puzzle
fans to generate their own puzzles. It also does not *solve* puzzles for
you, just creates them.
It is intended for parents and teachers to generate puzzles for educational
purposes. (I use it for my daughter's spelling lists, and a friend uses it
for teaching English.)
It includes faclities for laying out the generated puzzle, the word list,
and other layout items, on a printed page. It allows unused puzzle cells
to be filled with random text or with a "hidden message" and can print a
fill-in-the-blanks area to receive the message.
It's freeware. I retain the copyright and owner rights, but you are free
to use it and redistribute it without charge. No warranty.
The program, a document in Microsoft Word 5.1 format, and this README file
are enclosed in this self-extracting archive.
This is a 68020+ version. It's been tested on system 7.1 and system 7.5,
on a 7100, 2-si, and 540. Needs about 3MB of disk, and 3MB of free RAM to
run. A PPC version will follow. (On request, I could generate a 68000
version, but cannot test it, and I suspect the program might be too heavy
for very old Macs.)

Subject: WordScramble! 1.1.1
WordScramble! is a word game for ages seven to adult in which users try to
unscramble words from 8 different categories. The categories include
Animals, People, Transportation, Foods, Science, Body Parts, Geography and
Things, or users may design a custom list containing words of up to 7
letters. Each list contains dozens of words ranging from the extremely
simple ("cat") to the remarkably bizarre ("quokka").
Version 1.1 improved gameplay by taking words out of the rotation when
unscrambled, so that words won't repeat in the same session, and by making
sure that the random-scrambling of the letters in the words doesn't
accidentally put them back into their original order.
Version 1.1.1 fixes a bug which prevented the game from working on certain
machines without an FPU.
Please note that you need to set HyperCard's preferred memory size to 2300K
in order to see all the colors and pictures and hear all the sounds.
WordScramble! 1.1: It scrambles 'em; you unscramble 'em. Lots of
entertaining sounds keep it interesting. Enjoy!

Subject: Words Hypercard game
Words is a very graphic oriented guessing game, in the tradition
of Hangman. There are eight categories, with seventy-five words in each
category. You have eight chances to guess the word, and a description of
the word is given in the end of each round.
I have used this stack on a variety of macs from a IIci to a Power
Mac 9500, without any problems. The only problem I have had is running it
with Hypercard player. It is a colorful stack with placed graphics, and
none of this would show up using the player. So for best results, if you
can use Hypercard 2.3, this is what I made it with.
