I've used Tex-Edit Plus for a while now for reformatting text, but the
developer seems to have stopped work on it, and the most recent version
is a couple of years old and is PPC-only. Does anyone have any
suggestions for something more current that approximates the features of

Since AES had much better luck recycling his question through a second
time, I'll try the same tactic.
Does anyone know where Leopard (Safari) stores the temp file for a flash
video stream?  It is definitely in a different place than Tiger.

Simple curiosity: Does anyone have any idea what might have happened?
Something cured my problem, but I have no idea what it was. It went like
this:
Some months ago, I appealed to one or both of these groups for advice on

I would like to revert my entire system (10.5.4) to how it looked
yesterday. Luckily, I have a backup on my Time Capsule. However, when
I follow the instructions given at the Apple Support site, I get into
trouble.

Is there an open source DVD transcoder for Leopard?
I do NOT want to rip DVDs...  I want to convert a various types of video
files to DVD and then write the resulting VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS files to
the DVD.

Any point in using the Oxford English Dctionary CD-ROM (the full
version) via Fusion on a Macbook via Fusion with a MacBook topped out
with 4 GB of memory? I'm worried it will run so slow as to be
pointless. It's already a bit slow when I run a bunch of things

I updated from OS 10.5.3 to 10.5.4.  After restart my Apple Mail
application vanished and I can't find it anywhere. Any helpful
suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

Are there any programmes which allow you to adjust with the colours of a
movie (eg the contrast, brightness etc) while it is playing. The movie
could be either an avi file or something directly from a DVD.
TIA,

My ibook with Leopard installed went haywire,  Mail comes in but will
not open,  Palm Desktop will not open.  URL's open in  google without
difficulty.   I ran Disk Utility but no improvements.  Are there other
general fixit programs.

I'm using MTNW 3.5.2 under 10.3.9, w/ Comcast as my ISP.  The problem
I'm having is that sending e-mail responses to posts invariably fails
with "error -50."  
Anyone know what this is, and whether there's a way to fix this?

When the Software Update window opens and says, "New Software is
available for your computer", and the highlighted button says "Install 2
Items", in many cases when I say Yes, the installation completes much
more rapidly than these large items could possibly be downloaded on my

I have been attempting to watch some video in Safari but not getting any
sound. So far I have had this twice, once on an animated ecard with
sound, the other an interview,
Changing to iCab gives the sound.

From time to time I receive emails that show up in an extremely small
font size. (Most of the time however, received messages appear normally.)
I'm assuming that these messages showing the small font size are not the
result of a setting on my end.

I am trying to kill all newsgroup messages that originate from Google
Groups, using MacSoup in a G5 iMac running OS X.
I have an entry in the kill file that reads:
"Kill if organization contains http://groups.google.com"

I have been set up with gmail.com and using mail.app to access it when I
am at my home computer.  When I moved from Tiger to Leopard, I noticed
that posting, as measured by the rotating symbol duration, increased in
time by maybe three times as much, but it still worked.
