Subject: 3D Launcher 1.1 (updated)
3D Launcher is a utility that puts spinning, threedimensional icons in a
control bar on the desktop. It can be used to launch favorite and commonly
used programs. It provides shortcuts to frequently used applications, such
as word processors, image editing and compression software. But first of
all it makes the Mac-desktop more fun!
Apple has been including the Launcher-control panel for some years. It used
to be called 'Starter' under system 7.5. Now 3D Launcher brings that same
functionality with a much better looking interface. Designed by a
professional graphic artist, 3D Launcher icons spin, move and shake to liven
up your
desktop.
3D Launcher needs at least a 120 mhz Macintosh Power PC with Quicktime 2.1
or higher. System 7.5 or higher is the minimum to run this program.
3D Launcher costs only $15 for private use. A corporate license (unlimited
users) is $100. With a serial number, which can be ordered online and is
provided within seconds after payment, 3D Launcher becomes
fully-functional. When run as a demo it only launches some items.

Aaron+Plus is an accessory to "~Aaron" which I have come up with.
It changes the appearance of your cursor to something a little
more 'Aaronish'.
If you have ResEdit, you can choose between several cursors
by changing the ID# of the cursor you want, to "1" (one).
Note: The cursors are in the "crsr" Resource Fork.

Subject: Alias It 1.0
Alias It version 1.0
--------------------
Alias It is a $5 shareware utility that enables you to create multi-alias
files, allowing you to open more than one file with a click of the mouse.
You can create aliases of any Macintosh file, similar to the existing
alias feature on the Macintosh OS. The main difference is that Alias It
enables you to store multiple aliases within a single, double clickable
file.
Alias It is a drag and drop utility. You simply drag the file, or group
of files that you want aliased onto the Alias It icon and it creates a
multi-alias file. Once created, you can simply double click it and watch
it open the group of files for you. The files will be opened in the order
that they were added. There is no user interface other than what the
Finder provides.
Two versions of Alias It are provided. A System 7 version using the older
two-dimensional icons, and a System 8 or later version, using the newer
three-dimensional icon set.

Subject: AliasMenu 2.1
AliasMenu is a control panel that adds customized menus to the menu bar.
These menus work like the Apple menu: Each menu has a corresponding
folder and the menu automatically reflects the folder's content.
The menu name can be replaced by a custom icon, to get a nice layout
or to save room in the menu bar and add more menus.
Version 2.1 brings BeHierarchic support for hierarchical submenus.
AliasMenu 2 features:
* Menus are present in all opened applications.
* The number of menus is unlimited.
* Menus can be added after the application's menus, or inserted before.
* Keyboard shortcuts are always active and can use any modifier key.
* Ordering menus and items is easy. Separators can be inserted and
removed on the fly.
* Items of any kind can be put into a menu: folders, applications,
documents, servers, scripts, and URLs. Use AliasMenu to create several
cross-application bookmarks menus, always available.
* Multiple launching: launch several items with a single keystroke or
menu command.
* Automatic text typing: put a text clipping in a menu to 'type'
its text in any application.
* AliasMenu can trigger FKeys from separate files, allowing the use
of an unlimited number of FKeys with user-defined key shortcuts.
AliasMenu is a $25 shareware. Secure online registration through Kagi
is available. Encrypted e-mail registration and other methods are
available within the control panel.
System requirements: System 7.0 or better, MacOS 8.1 or more is
preferred.
Hardware: Any Power Macintosh or any Macintosh with color capabilities.

From: ChrisLi@bridge1.com
Subject: AliasMenu for Mac OS X 3.1.2
This download contains the English, French, and Japanese localizations
in a single application package.
AliasMenu adds customized menus to the menu bar. Each menu extra has a
corresponding folder and the menu automatically reflects the folder's
content.
Create your own menus for Preferences, favorite Folders, often used
Applications, an Internet menu including applications and web bookmarks,
a Documents menu, a Utilities menu... Possibilities are endless. Any
folder you create for AliasMenu instantly becomes an extra menu.
The menu name can be replaced by an icon, to make it nicer or to save
room in the menu bar and add more menus. Simply paste a custom icon on
the folder.
Version 3 has been entirely rewritten for Mac OS X and is fully Panther compatible.
* Create Any Number of Menus: User-defined menus are actual menu
extras, like the clock or volume menu. If you have a large screen, you
can easily add as many as 15 or 20 menus. Submenus are supported.
* Open Every Kind of Items: As did the old Apple menu, AliasMenu opens
any object placed in one of its menus: applications, documents, folders,
servers, scripts, and even URLs.
* Powerful Keyboard Shortcuts: AliasMenu uses the 'ctrl' key by default
instead of 'command' for the keyboard shortcuts, to avoid "collisions"
with the applications' shortcuts. Assign shortcuts to anything,
including folders and Internet bookmarks!
[3.1.2] This is a bug-fix update. In some situations, a custom icon used as
a menu title could freeze the menu auto-updating.
What's new in version 3.1?
* Alias icons are now displayed from the original files. The little
alias arrow is gone from the menus (Yay!).
* Masking of numeric prefix is now optional. A new check box in
preferences lets you choose to hide numerix prefixes in file names.
* Automatic link with AliasKeys. Any file appearing both in AliasMenu
and AliasKeys will be displayed in the menu with the keyboard shortcut
defined in AliasKeys. Both products are designed to work separately,
nonetheless AliasKeys brings much more complete choice and ease to
define shortcuts.

Subject: AliasKeys 1.0.3 - assign keystrokes to open files and folders
AliasKeys lets you assign keystrokes to open files and folders. Any item
that the Finder can open may be dragged to the list of AliasKeys and
assigned a combination of keys, to open it without touching your mouse.
You can use AliasKeys for applications, documents, folders, aliases,
preference panels, servers, scripts...
Hitting the keys opens the corresponding item, as would a double-click
on its icon. AliasKeys is basically as simple as that; it is also
extremely easy to set up.
AliasKeys needs Mac OS X 10.2 or better. It is fully compatible with
10.3 "Panther". AliasKeys is fully unicode-aware and can be used with
any international keyboard and localized system version.
Languages included: English, French, Japanese.
Changes in version 1.0.3:
* A couple of cosmetic bugs fixed in the French resources.
* Previous versions used a self-copying "internet-aware" disk image.
They are a good idea, but they only work well in some web browsers. For
many users, they create a unmanageable situation that has caused plenty
of tech support emails. Thus, with this version, we are back to a
"plain" .dmg file, along with a .sit for backup.
* Adventurous users can test a hidden feature. Open
"~/Library/Preferences/net.widemann.aliaskeys.plist" and set
openFinderSelectionWithCapsLock to YES (or true), then save, log out and
login back. From now on, if the capslock key is down, AliasKeys will try
to open the selected item(s) in the Finder with the triggered item.
For example, if the AliasKey is set to open Preview, selecting a
PDF file and hitting the AliasKey will launch Preview and open the PDF,
even if the PDF's creator is Acrobat. This feature may hit snags when
combining some file types with certain applications, so be warned and
use at your own risk. We do NOT tech-support this feature, however we'll
accept gladly any comment or suggestion that you wish to offer.

"Apollo, the ultimate launcher ... My advice: grab it before it

Apollo is a launching utility. You configure a menu containing those
applications, control panels, desk accessories, folders and documents you
use frequently. Then, whatever you are doing, a click of the mouse pops up
the menu and lets you open any of the configured items. Any item in
Apollo's menu can also have its own hot key. You can organise items into
groups, with each group having its own submenu. If a group is made
"active", selecting its name makes Apollo open all the items in the group
seriatim. Apollo can automatically control the sound level and screen
depth for each application, changing them as you switch between
applications. Apolo also has facilities for switching between applications
using keyboard or menu.
New features in version 2.2 include a contextual menu plugin for one-click
configuration (system 7 users are catered for as well), and more options
for sorting of folder submenus.
New features in version 2.1 included integration with Default Folder (v2.9
or better required), much improved icon handling and the ability to
position Apollo's icons anywhere in the menu bar simply by option- clicking
and dragging.
Apollo 2.2 is shareware: the fee is US$30 or 15 pounds sterling. There are
significant discounts for multiple-copy and site licences. There is no
upgrade fee for registered users of previous versions. Registration can be
made via Kagi Shareware. Registration and online registration utilities
are provided as part of the package. Kagi can accept payments by credit
card.
Apollo 2.2 requires system 7 (it is fully compatible with system 8)
and a Mac with a 68020 or better processor.

Subject: AppSwitcherControl1.1
Description:
AppSwitcher Control is a handy application which allows you to customize
the appearance and behavior of the Application Switcher in Mac OS 8.5.
AppSwitcher Control is free.
Requirements:
AppSwitcher Control requires a PowerPC Macintosh running Mac OS 8.5.
Version History:
v1.0 1998-09-17
- Initial Release. My first Macintosh application ever.
v1.1 1998-09-21
- Revised layout of options using more visual elements. Eliminated popup menus.
- Added miniature representation of the screen which allows you to visually
set position, orientation, and grow direction, all at once.
- Added ability to edit name width. Click the arrows to increment or
decrement by 10 pixels. Shift-click to increment or decrement by 1 pixel.
- Added ability to order by name or launch order, normal or reverse.
- AppSwitcher Control now reads the Application Switcher's settings only
the first time you launch it. When you quit AppSwitcher Control, it saves
your settings to its own preferences file. From then on, it reads settings
from its preferences file at launch. This results in much faster launch
times.
- AppSwitcher Control now does a better job of loading the existing settings.
- AppSwitcher Control now remembers which tab was frontmost when you last
used the application.
- Added balloon help for just about everything.
- General cleanup of the internal workings of the app.

Appearance Designer is a simple utility to create your own color scheme
and to add it in your appearance control panel.
I hope you make your Mac more exciting and more customized for your own
sense.
Basically, Appearance Designer runs with Appearance Control Panel,so you
at least need your machine installed Appearance System Extension
(Appearance Control Panel). If you are currently using Mac OS 8 or Mac
OS 8.1, don't worry. Appearance System Extension has been installed when
you installed Mac OS 8 or 8.1, or If you are currently using System 7.1
or later but Mac OS 8, you must install Appearance System Extension at
First. If you don't have it, you may get that at Apple's Web Site.
If you use System 7 or more earlier version of System, you can't run
this utility because Appearance System Extension does not support its
version of System.
I have no responsibility for any disaster and anything which happens to
you in a bad way or another
by using this software. Please use it at your own risk.

- lets you switch between open windows of an application with a modifier+up

- makes different areas of your screen hotspots to pop up the application menu.
(I set the outside of my screen as the hot spot so get the application

just moving the mouse pointer to the edge and clicking)
- lets you set popup command keys for the application menu to popup anywhere

Subject: ABSTRACT for A_Z_CustomFolders
Hello Fellow Mac Enthusiasts,
And thank you for downloading A thru Z Custom Folders.
As simple as these folders appear they lend a lot of valuable things that
are not immediantely noticable like:
1.) Use them to dress up your Desktop, A- for aliases, D for documents T-
for trash, and so on. The trash icon takes something a ittle more complex to
use a folder rather than the can icon, see SPECIAL NOTE at the bottom of
this read me for how to accomplish it.
2.) Add different colors to folders to add accent and differenciate folders
that may have the same letter: ie Documents, Dates and Aliases and Accounts
and so on. Use the colors in the folders by HIGHLIGHTING the folder of your
choice, then select GET INFO (Cmd./i) and inside the GET INFO window select
LABLE and choose your COLOR.
3.) Folders with BIG easy to SEE letters actually save time. It is easier to
visuialize an 'A' before reading the word Aliases. Its a mind games thing.
You will overtime become to associate COLORS with ACTIONS. Most used with
RED and GREEN etc.
Should you ever LOSE the LAST copy of any folder for ANY reason, (like the
Zippo lighter commercial says) we will send you a complete set at NO CHARGE
! (To any registered user)
Thanks for your interest in our products.
Sincerely,

"Ever lost sight of the little caret, the thin blinking vertical line used
to indicate where the next character you type in is going to show up on the

extension could be helpful. It draws the caret with a line two or three
pixels wide instead of only one pixel, the system default.
This works in all fields that use the system routines for TextEdit (both
with and without styles). They are usually used in dialog fields (e.g.
search/replace), save dialogs, file names in the Finder, and text windows
in TeachText and SimpleText."
In the attachment called caretPatch10.sit (StuffIt archive, 8k, binhexed

From: Ross Brown
Subject: Abstract for CircumNavigator 1.0 (gui/circumnavigator-10.hqx)
CircumNavigator is a Mac OS control panel that turns old-fashioned Standard
File dialogs into modern Navigation Services dialogs.
Maybe you've seen these newer file dialogs in modern applications, such as
Microsoft Outlook Express, and wondered why you can't have them in other
applications. With CircumNavigator, you can.
File navigation using Navigation Services has many advantages over Standard
File:
- Navigation Services dialogs are movable and resizeable, and they remember
where you last put them.
- You can hide an application, or switch to another application, while it is
showing a Navigation Services dialog.
- Navigation Services remembers the last item you visited in each folder,
and keeps lists of favorite and recent items.
- You can drag a file or folder icon and drop it onto a Navigation Services
dialog to navigate directly to the file or folder.
- Navigation Services dialogs look and feel just like the Finder, using the
same icons and appearance settings.
- ...and many more.
Once you're used to CircumNavigator and Navigation Services, you won't stand
going back to Standard File!
CircumNavigator requires System 7.5.5, Mac OS 7.6.1 or later; Appearance
1.0.1 or later; Navigation Services 1.0 or later. Supports PowerPC and 68K;
accelerated for PowerPC.

Subject: ClippingNamer
Finder clippings are a wonderful idea that most people don't use because
they're such a pain to deal with. Ever tried to find the right clipping
among a bunch of "Text Clipping 1", "Text Clipping 2", etc? It's not too
bad with one clipping, but more than a couple leads to long sessions in
the Finder assigning useful names, wasting the time you saved.
ClippingNamer helps you manage clippings. Without leaving your current
program, you can:
* Automatically assign a new name based on the (text) clipping contents.
* Automatically create a thumbnail image (icon) for picture clippings.
* Popup a dialog that lets you see both ClippingNamer's and the Finder's
suggested names, and use either one or a new name you type.
* NEW - Save text or picture clippings as SimpleText files instead.
* NEW - Append text clippings to existing files/clippings instead of
creating new.
You can set any of these modes (or none) as the default, and invoke any
of the others with modifier keys (completely customizable). There are
several other convenience options as well.
UPDATE: Version 1.1.3 adds the save to file and append features.
It fixes bugs that caused renamed clippings to move around on the Desktop
under OS8, and a problem on some machines where nothing happening
regardless of hotkeys, or Stuffit Expander crashed.

Subject: CopyPaste-X 1.4
Press Release
6/24/2002
CopyPaste X 1.4 Released for OS X
CopyPaste is the original award winning multiple clipboard utility and with
the 1.4 update it is better then ever. Productivity is what its all about.
It can be downloaded from versiontracker.com
http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=12795&db=mac
or from:
http://www.scriptsoftware.com
CopyPaste is the digital hub for clipboard material and many other kinds of
data. It is easy to use, saves time and allows you to do less and accomplish
more. Try it and see how critical a clipboard manager is for OS X.
Users rave about CopyPaste X here:
http://www.scriptsoftware.com/copypaste/usersViews.html
New Features in Version 1.4:
¥ CopyPaste-X now can communicate with CopyPaste 4.5 Classic. If both
versions are installed CopyPaste-X can copy and paste its clipboards between
OS X/Classic seamlessly.
¥ CopyPaste-X is localized in Danish
¥ CopyPaste-X can now read the OS 9 SimpleText files with embedded pictures.
¥ CopyPaste-X can now read RTFD files. You can open .rtfd files and save
them in .rtf format which in turn can be opened by MS Word or Apple Works.
¥ CopyPaste-X can now paste plain text without style information by
option-clicking a palettes "P" button
Improvements:
¥ The Clipboard Editor is much much faster
¥ The main toolbar for the Clipboard Editor is initially not visible and can
be located by the "Show Toolbar" command in the "Edit" menu
¥ The word-list creator now can deal with Japanese text in different fonts.
¥ The Editor now supports anti-aliased text on OS X 10.1.5 and higher.
Bugfixes:
¥ Insert long Date was partly broken, it works now
¥ Setting background color to "other" was broken and is fixed
¥ Clip Archive function initially created a wrong file type which somtimes
caused garbage onscreen.
One of the early wonders of the Mac was its revolutionary ability to do copy
and paste across various applications. Unlike other areas in the Mac's
system software that have changed and progressed over the years, copying and
pasting has not evolved. How many times have you found yourself going back
and forth copying in one application and pasting in a different application,
wishing to yourself that you could copy 5-10 items at a time, then go to
another application and paste each of these items. CopyPaste gives you this
and much more. It turns out that having additional clipboards is incredibly
useful. CopyPaste eliminates tedious repetitive work and increases your
ability to get the job done.
CopyPaste-X magnifies the clipboard in many ways.
* Clipboard Extender - adds an infinite number of easy to access
clipboards via menu or key command. Without CopyPaste the Mac has only one
clipboard.
* Clip Recorder - remembers the last 10-200 (user selectable) items
copied via command c and keeps them in a stack.
* Clipboard Editor - Edit any clipboard by simply double clicking in any
clipboard palette.
* Save Clipboards thru Restarts - allows all 10 Clipboards to be saved
thru Shutdown or Restart. Without CopyPaste the Mac does not save its
clipboard.
* Drag and Drop - allows dragging anything to and from the CopyPaste
Palette. Not only selections from a program, but also text, picture, sound
or ClipSet files can be dragged. Now uses Quicktime to read files.
User groups, manufacturers and magazines can contact us at the email below
for more information.

Subject: CopyPaste Classic 4.5.2J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the CopyPaste package for Mac OS Classic.
CopyPaste-X for Mac OS X is also available.
One of the early wonders of the Mac was its revolutionary ability to do
copy and paste across various applications. Unlike other areas in the
Mac's system software that have changed and progressed over the years,
copying and pasting has not evolved. How many times have you found
yourself going back and forth copying in one application and pasting in
a different application, wishing to yourself that you could copy 5-10
items at a time, then go to another application and paste each of these
items? Now you can, with a vengeance!
To install, drag and drop the CopyPaste application onto your active
System Folder. It will tell you it wants to go into the Extension
Folder. Hit OK. Restart.
CopyPaste eliminates tedious, repetitive work and increases your ability
to get the job done. Just install it and read about the Clip Extender
and the CopyPaste Palettes - then try it out a little at a time.
CopyPaste will grow on you!
Version 4.5.2
* Fixed a problem with clipboards not being saved through restarts.
* Improved error handling.
Version 4.5
* Shows a picture preview on the palette if a picture is in the
clipbord.
* The default clipboard (without number) now only goes into the Clip
Recorder and will not change the clipboard 0 in the Clip Extender
anymore. Two reasons are: You gain one more numbered clipboard
accessible via command-C-0. The program source is cleaner because I do
not have to handle so many special cases whenever a clipboard is
accessed. This should cause less errors.
* The display of the cliboard data for the menu and palette text preview
is now extracted from the clipboard in real time. It was formerly done
only once at copy time and could be wrong if the copy failed due to an
error. The result was an empty clipboard still showing a content title.
* Most important for OS X users this version can communicate with
CopyPaste-X and transfer the classic clipboard to CopyPaste-X.
* Some smaller bugfixes

Subject: CopyPaste-X 2.5.4J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the CopyPaste-X package.
Every so often a piece of shareware comes along that makes us wonder how
we lived without it-such is CopyPaste-X, the turbo Clipboard utility on steroids.
It now contains yType which helps anyone to type faster and more accurately.
CopyPaste-X augments the good old Mac OS Clipboard in all kinds of ways:
It lets you record and remember Clipboard items, edit Clipboard
contents, save copied text (and picture) to an archive, and the main
attraction: use ten Clipboards simultaneously, typing Command-C and a
number to differentiate between them. Handy floating palettes keep your
clippings onscreen; you can minimize the palettes, or hide them entirely
and access your boards via keystrokes, contextual menus, and the
CopyPaste Dock icon.
If you use the clipboard, you'll love CopyPaste.
-- Niko Coucouvanis, MacAddict Magazine
What's new in this version:
Bug fixes
* Corrections of the behavior of yType.
* The problem with positioning of the suggestion window in Mellel and Nisus is fixed
* The preference for yType now offers the option to use the clipboard for larger
chunks of text. Default is 15 which causes typing for most common words, but
clipboard usage for boilerplates. The result is better performance. You can set it
between 0 and 255.
* The color of the suggestion window should be stable even if a theme changing
program is active.
* The new hot keys to show the palettes now toggle visibility.
* Inconsistency of command keys in the Editor fixed

Changes
In Version 4.3.1
bug fixes:
In Version 4.3
bug fixes:
- On Japanese systems the inline input method uses the Scrap Manager - very
strange. This caused problems with the Clip Recorder.
Many programs do NOT use the DeskScrap (=the public clipboard) for their
own copy and paste action, so CopyPaste sends these programs to the
background and back to the front in order to get the desired clip. You could
see this in previous versions when the program hides toolbars and other
window elements. This version patches certain routines so that the toolbars
stay on the screen, which accelerates CopyPaste`s performance. You can
switch this option off in the preferences if you have compatibility
problems.
Clip Sets now can be changed via hotkey. You can activate one of the ten
Clip Sets either by selecting it from the menu or by typing F10 + #. This
hotkey only works when the option "Use F2,F3, F4 Keys" is active, otherwise
none of the function keys is intercepted by CopyPaste.
The iconized Palette can now be docked at the bottom of the screen and
pops upwards when the mouse moves over it. Also a short delay for shrinking
and expanding the Palette is introduced.
A new Tag and Drop feature has been added. If Tag and Drop is active, you
can press ctrl,option,command and click the mouse between two characters of
a word. The order of the two characters will be reversed. This is intended
as a fast method to correct common typing errors.
The preferences now allow you to change settings for individual programs.
The previously hardcoded settings are already preset but can be changed.
The main preferences dialog contains the button "Application Exceptions"
which leads to the new dialog window.
The e-mail UnComment now works smarter and removes all levels of comments.
Additionally the text will be reformatted if the option key is pressed when
you select e-mail UnComment.

hiding or showing the application windows.
* Open File Count displays the current count of open
files on your machine. This can be helpful to gauge
just how loaded down your computer is. It's also useful
for QA type work.
* Activate Strip is used to quickly activate your After
Dark compatible screen saver.
**** What is new in CSM Pack 1.2 ****
CSM Pack 1.2 introduces a Peek-a-Boo control strip which supports the
Peek-a-Boo application by enabling the easy manipulation of how much CPU

instead of the applications that created those documents.
For instance, Default App can be configured so that when you double-click
a SimpleText document in the Finder, it gets opened in a more powerful
text editor, like Style or Tex-Edit Plus. Or you can have Script Editor
compiled scripts opened with Script Debugger. Or Internet Explorer
documents opened with HTML Viewer. Well, you get the idea.
For further information, see the Default App web page:
Default App requires MacOS 8.0 or newer, is distributed as

Requirements
Any PowerPC machine running Mac OS 7.1 or higher. This program is Mac OS 8.0, 8.6, and even 9.0 savvy! 68k users are recommended to use version 1.2.1 of Desktop Resetter. For all of you 68k users, if you would like to see a Version 2.0 on your platform, please email me!
What's New?
Desktop Resetter now supports windows and popup windows! It has a sleek new interface and works faster than before. To see the full list of features, be sure to check the Help section.
What is Desktop Resetter?
Desktop Resetter is a simple program used to remember the icon and window locations and sizes on the desktop. This information can be recalled at a later time. This is useful if you play games or change resolutions frequently. It is also good since some programs tend to either change resolution or somehow cause things on the desktop to scatter randomly. Crashing can also cause desktop items to splatter.
Now you won't have to withstand this unfortunate and annoying problem. Simply layout the desktop how you like it and 'Remember' the desktop's current setup. Should it get screwed up one way or another, just launch Desktop Resetter and 'Reset' the layout. In an instant, the windows should snap back to the way they were and their sizes will be recalled, and the icons will go back as well.
A nice benefit of Desktop Resetter is that it is very fast. You can keep a copy of it handy in the Apple menu or on the Desktop so that you can easily launch it and remember or reset the desktop instantly.
Desktop Resetter is an application only, it uses no extensions or control panels. This means that there is no way it can conflict with other programs, it only operates when you launch it and doesn't effect other applications other than the Finder itself (the desktop application).

Subject: Desktop Screenshots 1.0
The Mac has always had the ability to capture the screen to a picture
file via COMMAND-SHIFT-3 and with System 8 also via COMMAND-SHIFT-4. They
work great but have the annoying habit of saving the screenshots at the
top level of the hard drive. With a little research I discovered that
there is in fact a way to specify where the pictures are saved and thus
was born Desktop Screenshots. A tiny extension that redirects those
picture files right to the desktop for easy access.
Desktop Screenshots uses an undocumented feature of the standard system
screen capture code. This feature appears to be available starting with
at least System 7.6.1. Earlier system versions might work too but I
haven't tested them. No system software modifications are made so it
won't hurt anything to try it out, it will either work or not.
Desktop Screenshots is FREEWARE (share and enjoy.)

Desktop Transporter is an application that makes sharing your desktop
with others, or yourself, very easy. Only a single click is required to
share your desktop with other Macs on your local-area network. It uses
Rendezvous to discover shared desktops, and provides you with the
ability to preview the shared desktop before connecting to it.
Desktop Transporter fully supports any number of attached displays, and
reconfigures itself on the fly to detect changes to your display
configuration. Naturally, you may protect access to your desktop using
a password, and a number of configuration options allow you to select
the performance level best suited for your network. You can also view
and control multiple desktops from different Macs on one Mac.
Desktop Transporter also supports copy-and-paste of almost any object
between local and remote displays. This version improves client-side
performance and fixes a number of bugs. Desktop Transporter now also
remembers the positions of its windows.
Desktop Transporter requires MacOS X 10.2.8 or later, and performs best
when the Macs sharing and accessing the shared desktop(s) are connected
via a high-speed local-area network. Desktop Transporter is $15

From: Charles Srstka
Subject: DockDisks
DockDisks is a hack that causes disks to auto-mount in the Dock. This
can be handy if you want to put your dock on the right side of the
screen but want to avoid the conflict for space with the disk icons on
the desktop. It can also help avoid the problem of desktop icons
becoming covered up by open windows.
DockDisks is a hack, and as such it is obviously not perfect. The main
caveat is that the Dock is quit and relaunched when the list of disks is
refreshed, because the Dock has no API for adding/removing items, and
thus has to be relaunched to refresh its settings. However, DockDisks
does do its job, which is to put your disks in the dock.
Current features:
- Preference pane interface
- Can be set to automatically launch at login
- Automatically mounts disks when they are inserted
- Automatically unmounts disks when they are ejected
- Automatically ejects removable disks and servers when they are
dragged off of the dock
- Allows the user to choose whether to display fixed disks, removable
disks, servers, or any combination thereof in the dock.
- Allows the user to choose the area of the dock in which the disks
will appear

DragAnyWindow is a way cool control panel that enhances the
look and behavior of window dragging. When you drag a window's
title bar and Solid Dragging is active, the whole window image
is moved instead of a dull-looking window outline. If the Update
Windows option is also active, all windows are updated on the
fly without waiting for you to release the mouse. Not as fast as
the BeOS, but definitely better than the standard Mac OS
behavior!
DragAnyWindow also allows you to easily move any kind of
window, including dialogs, alerts, standard "Open" and "Save"
dialogs, game windows and other non-movable windows. It lets you
bring back to the desktop any window that has gone out of sight,
or center the front window on the main screen with a single
keystroke. These options are very useful for old applications
designed for the 9" screen (which often use fixed windows) and
for moving modal dialogs and windows behind them.

Subject: DragThing 5.1.1
DragThing is the original dock designed to tidy up your Macintosh desktop.
It makes files, folders, applications, disks, URLs, and even windows,
quickly and easily accessible, while taking up as little space on your
screen as possible.
DragThing's docks are highly configurable and you can have multiple docks,
each customised to suit your needs.
DragThing also allows you to define a huge variety of hot keys. These hot
keys can open items in docks, control various other aspects of DragThing and
even control the visibility of and switching between other applications
running on your Mac.
DragThing can also provide you with a Trash on your desktop, play sounds in
response to actions like ejecting a CD, and a lot more besides.
5.1.1 works round a reported problem with the recent McAfee Virex 7.5 beta
which could cause DragThing not to quit properly on shutdown, restart
or logout. It also adds new features including enhanced contextual menus and
AppleScript support, greatly improves saving and loading of docks and other
files, and is a lot faster to start up than 5.1.
A full list of all the changes can be found here:
DragThing 5.1.1 is a free upgrade for registered users of DragThing 5,
$12 for registered users of older versions, and $29 to register for new
users. It requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later. This download includes
English, Japanese, German, French, Italian, Dutch, and Traditional Chinese
language support.

DXoft Get Info 2.0.0
by DXoft
June 7th, 2000
DXoft Get Info 2.0.0 has been released and is available at:
** New in version 2.0.0 **
- The program now comes with a runtime version of the FileMaker Pro 5
application, so people who do not own a copy of FileMaker Pro 5 can still
use it.
- The standard registration fee has been lowered from $20 to $15, but
doesn't allow access to the program's structure any longer (layouts and
scripts). Current users of DXoft Get Info can upgrade to this version for
free, using their current registration instructions.
- A new $30 "PRO" registration option is now available and offers full
access to the program's structure to those who want or need it. It's also
available as an upgrade to users of the standard version.
- An "Autosave" feature has been implemented. Users can turn it off if they
want, though it's not recommended.
- Better password protection: once registered, the program won't let people
without a valid password access its data. No user action is required to
enable this protection.
- The interface and online help have been improved to make the program even
easier to use.
** About DXoft Get Info **
DXoft Get Info is a collection of FileMaker Pro 5 relational databases and
comes with a runtime version of the FileMaker Pro 5 application, so people
who do not own a copy of FileMaker Pro 5 can still use it.
It is designed to let individual users track quickly and easily several key
information about their computer configuration:
* The Internet Accounts database stores your TCP/IP, Remote Access, E-mail,
News, FTP and Web page settings.
* The Internet Sites database is a powerful URL manager. It stores "login"
information for those web sites that use a registration/subscription system.
* The Registrations database stores serial numbers and registration
information.
* The Contacts database is closely integrated with the Registrations one to
let one easily find information about the authors, developers or publishers
of the sofware products one uses.
DXoft Get Info borrows its user interface from the Finder "Get Info" windows
and list views: most of the program functionalities are but a click away.
FileMaker Pro 5 relies on the standard Internet Configuration system for
Internet support, so DXoft Get Info is perfectly integrated with your other
Internet software.
DXoft Get Info is shareware. Several registration options are available.
Shareware is "try-before-you-buy" software: download DXoft Get Info and
evaluate it. Then, if you want to keep on using it beyond the 30-day trial
period, honor the shareware system and pay the registration fee. Otherwise,
just remove DXoft Get Info from your hard disk.
** System Requirements **
DXoft Get Info comes with a runtime version of the FileMaker Pro 5
application. People who do not own a copy of FileMaker Pro 5 can still use
it.
Note: while the program may work with FileMaker Pro 5 for Windows, it hasn't
been tested and is not supported under such configurations. Only Mac OS
configurations are supported at this time.
The program requirements are:
* A Power Macintosh or Mac OS computer with a PowerPC processor
* At least 16 MB of RAM
* A hard disk with at least 24 MB of free space
* System 8.1 or later
To publish the databases over a network, users need a copy of the FileMaker
Pro 5 application: the runtime version of the application doesn't offer that
feature. The same restriction applies to users of the PRO version of the
program is they want to edit layouts and fields.
Thank you for supporting the shareware system!

EasySwitcher 1.0
If you are tired of always moving the mouse to the upper right of the screen
to change between open files, or to hide open applications, EasySwitcher can
help. EasySwitcher allows for Macintosh users to have the one good feature
of Windows users (plus a few things you can't do on a Windows machine). By
pressing Control-Tab you will get a Dialog that shows all your applications
that are running (Icons). You can toggle through your applications to bring
that application to the front.
Easy Switcher doesn't stop there!
* EasySwitcher is NOT an Extension. Thus, it can be started and stopped
like an
application at anytime (without having to restart your machine).
* EasySwitcher 'Watches' what applications you are using, and keeps them
only a few key
strokes away. So that Switching between 2 applications is quick and
easy.
* EasySwitcher even has a hot key to Hide the front application. This helps
keep your
desktop clean from cluttered windows.
System Requirements:
* System 7.1 or Later.

Extensions Strip hosts control strip modules in the most flexible and powerful environment out there.

Included in the package are two FAT binary Extensions Strip savvy modules and developer examples.
1.5.2 Changes:
- A German translation of Extensions Strip is available through the efforts of Markus Gloede.
- Includes new versions of Control Panels Strip and Process Manager.
- ES now works on locked volumes. This is nice if you have a CD-RW drive and want to make a bootable CD.
- Fixed a problem where strips would flicker if the monitor size changed and the strip wasn't latched to a corner.
- Fixed conflict with the Menu Tasker system extension that would cause the strips to hide while using popup menus.
- Fixed a flickering problem with MaBaSoft's modules.
- Modules may now modify themselves (introduced for compatibility with MaBaSoft's World Clock CSM).
- ES only warns you once if you don't have TSM Fix installed.
- If you have ES set to hide in games, pressing ES's hot key will now show the strips if they've been auto-hidden.
- Recompiled all the source for CodeWarrior IDE 3 and added a Known Conflicts section to the docs.

Copr. 2000 Bruce A. Pokras All rights reserved worldwide
FileFinagler allows you to finagle (play around with) the files and folders
on your Mac:
1) Make files or entire folders invisible to keep them from prying eyes.
2) Make the invisible files or folders on your Mac visible to see what they
are hiding.
3) Copy invisible files from read-only media to your hard drive so that you
can make them visible.
4) Open your sensitive invisible files for editing without having to make
them visible first (that way you won't have to remember to make them
invisible again after you finish editing them).
5) Change the application that starts when you double-click a file from the
Finder by changing the file's CREATOR code. Build a list of often-used
CREATOR codes that you can access from a pop-up button. FileFinagler allows
you to easily change the CREATOR code for an entire folder full of files
with a single mouse click.
6) Change a file's TYPE code if it does not have one (such as can happen
with files downloaded from the Web) or if the TYPE is incorrect. Build a
list of often-used TYPE codes that you can access from a pop-up button.
FileFinagler allows you to easily change the TYPE code for an entire folder
full of files with a single mouse click.
Requires: HyperCard(R) Player 2.3 or higher (or equivalent); for Macs
having System 8.6 or higher pre-installed, the Player is found on the

FinderKeeper version 1.5 from Elsware Ltd.
WHAT IT DOES:
FinderKeeper organizes your desktop by neatly stacking windows
on-the-fly. Each disk on your Mac is given a starting point, and as
you open windows they cascade down and to the right. The result is a
neat, logically arranged desktop - all done automatically.
BENEFITS OF USE:
FinderKeeper shows you not only what files are on your Mac, but also
where they are stored. At a glance you see that ³Letters to Mom² is
inside of ³Personal Documents² which is on ³Macintosh HD². A smartly
arranged desktop encourages better organization which in turn
increases efficiency!
NEW V1.5 FEATURES:
* Now works on PowerPC and 680x0 systems (FAT).
* New control panel sets custom window offsets.
* Fully compatible with Microsoft products.
* Tested on systems as old as 7.1.0.
* Better support for AppleScript recording.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
A Macintosh compatible running system software 7.1.0 or later.

Finder View Settings makes it much easier to manage the new

all of your folder-specific view settings, making MacOS 8 behave
more like System 7, or easily change the requested view settings
for single folders or entire disks.
To globally override the view settings, Finder View Settings
must be stored in the Control Panels folder so it can patch the
System at startup. You can then enable or disable the Finder
overriding option with the appropriate check box in the main
window.
To permanently change the view settings for a given set of
folders, you can drop them on the Control Panel's icon or into
the main window. Finder View Settings doesn't have to be in the
Control Panels folder for this to work.

always partial to the sounds provided by FinderSounds. Leap forward
almost a decade and Apple is supplying us with Sound Sets in the
Appearance Control Panel, and I wondered, "Do you suppose those old
FinderSounds would sound halfway decent if the resources were copied
out and pasted into a copy of an Appearance Sound Set?" Sure enough,
it worked.
There are more sounds in the modern version, so in some placed I did
some SoundEditing of a Platinum sound or a FinderSound, and in a
couple of places I left the Platinum sound intact, but all of the
original FinderSounds have a home now in this FinderSounds Soundset.

Folder Jumper is a cool system enhancement that automatically
jumps to specified folders as you type a file's name in the
"Save As..." dialog box. For example, you may want to
automatically save all files whose name ends with ".jpg" inside
a "Pictures" folder somewhere on your disk.
To set up a destination folder and link it to a set of file
names, all you have to do is to create an alias to the folder
and move it to the "Folder Jump Aliases" folder inside your
System folder. The name of the alias is matched against
user-entered file names in one of four ways: partial, exact,
suffix or prefix.
The alias naming rules for each case are described in a
SimpleText document named "instructions" that's automatically
created in the "Folder Jump Aliases" folder when you click the
"Settings" button in the Control Panel.

Font Smoothie 1.2
Written by Nick D'Amato
© 2000 by No-U-Turn, Inc.
Requirements
Mac OS 8.5 or higher. Any PowerPC Mac.
What's new in 1.2?
You can now change the view font from Font Smoothie. Now you won't have to
wait for the Appearance control panel to launch every time you want to
change your views font. You can do it all from Font Smoothie.
Fixed some minor bugs, and added some minor enhancements.
What's new in 1.1?
Some minor fixes and interface touch-ups.
What is Font Smoothie?
Font Smoothie is a small application that will allow you to achieve more
control over your fonts. This program is targeted towards system fonts,
their sizes, and their font smoothing minimum size.
The MacOS systems only allow a select range of fonts to be used as system
fonts. This is the overall font that you see in the titles of windows,
menus, dialogs, etc. There is also a restriction on size: the font can only
be 12 point.
Font Smoothie will allow you to change the system font to any font that is
available in your system. It also allows any size font. Some fonts look
better bigger, others smaller, depending on the situation and font design.
You can now change your views font from Font Smoothie as well. This is the
font that displays underneath the icons in the Finder. This can also be
changed by the Appearance control panel. But if you're like us, you hate
waiting for the Appearance control panel to load, and it is much nicer to
change all fonts from one program.
A relatively new enhancement of the MacOS is the ability to have the
on-screen fonts anti-aliased (smoothed). This makes the fonts look much
better, and add¹s a touch of class to the OS. A restriction exists that only
allows the font size to be 12 point or higher. Font Smoothie allows fonts as
low as 9 point to be smoothed. Therefore, all fonts that are on-screen,
true-type, and 9 point or higher can be smoothed!
Font Smoothie is compatible with Kaleidoscope, and looks great when they are
used together. Kaleidoscope allows you to change the system font as well,
but there is a long-standing bug with it that causes the menus to have
ellipses in them. This makes all of the menus appear like this (Fi Ed
Speci) Font Smoothie corrects this bug.
How do I install it?
Simply drag the Font Smoothie control panel and Font Smoothie extension onto
your System Folder and restart. To use, open the Font Smoothie control
panels and select the desired System Font and size. You will see the results
immediately. You can also turn on Font Smoothing and set the minimum size
you would like smoothed (just like the Apple Appearance control panel, only
more options).
Why was it written?
This program was written because we just couldn¹t stand looking at the
Apple-bundled system fonts any longer. There are so many better looking
fonts out there, and we wanted the ability to use them as our System Font.
Other interface-enhancement programs exist that have the ability of Font
Smoothie, but they usually change the overall appearance of the system which
slows it down and can create a higher potential for an unstable system.
How does it work?
Font Smoothie tricks the OS into thinking there is a broad range of system
fonts. Therefore it shows all the ones loaded instead of the normal few. It
doesn¹t patch any appearance routines in the OS, it uses the standard ones,
making the potential for instability much lower, and there will not be any
performance issues.
Known Issues
When selecting really large fonts (usually 18 point or higher), some
windows¹ title bars may appear to be clipped¹. This can be rectified by
restarting the program that exhibits these symptoms. This is harmless, and
may not even be noticable.
Shareware
This program is shareware. If you use it on a regular basis, please

We love suggestions, so if you have any, please send them to us!
Techie Stuff
Font Smoothie conists of a control panel and an extension. The extension
loads at startup of the OS. It tricks the system into using any font that is
loaded into the system. It does it without occupying a large amount of RAM
and without patching your OS Appearance routines that can cause slow-downs.
It was designed for this exact reason, since we have been looking for a
program that would do this for years, and our only choice was to write it
ourselves.
Uninstalling
To remove the program, pull out the Font Smoothie control panel and the Font
Smoothie Extension from the System Folder. It will be disabled on the next
restart. You can also disable it with Conflict Catcher or the Apple
Extensions Manager.
Distribution
Font Smoothie may be distributed in/on CD-ROMs, magazines, user groups, etc,
but it must include the complete archive as it comes from the No-U-Turn web
site. You are not required to get permission to put this software within
your media.
What's in the future for Font Smoothie?
Well, you know how Internet Explorer 5 has the cool new 'flavor' feature
where you can change your Mac colors to more than the defaults? We are
working on a feature of Font Smoothie that will do the same. We hope to
offer it as an update real soon.
We hope you enjoy it!

What is FuzzyFind for MacOS?
How was the file named I saved a year ago?
FuzzyFind for MacOS is a tool similar to Apples Find File placed in the
Apple Menu.
The advantage of FuzzyFind is, that it will find files which are named
not exactly as defined in the search string. It will ignore writing
mistakes and find all similar names.
For example if you search for "Account Meier", FuzzyFind will find all
documents which are named with "Account Mayer", "Account Meyer etc. Also
writing mistakes like "Acount" or "Accuont" will not influence the
search result.
FuzzyFind should not replace Find File from Apple. It is an extra tool
for very difficult search processes, where time is not so essential than
finding the right information.

Greg's Browser 2.6.1 (January 10, 2000)
by Greg Landweber, coauthor of Kaleidoscope
Shareware Fee: $20
Winner of a MacUser Shareware Award for Best Utility, Greg's Browser
is a file management utility that lets you quickly and easily
navigate your way through the files on your hard disk, giving a
compact multi-pane view of your folder hierarchy. Greg's Browser was
originally based on the NeXT OS directory browser, and Apple's latest
demos show that the Mac OS X Finder will include a multiple folder
view similar to the Browser.
Version 2.6.1 is a maintenance release, with over a dozen minor
improvements and bug fixes. In particular, it fixes an erroneous
alert that appears when moving files to the trash and a beep when
emptying the trash.
It also fixes a crash when launching the browser if StuffIt
SpaceSaver is running. On the improvement side, the text
anti-aliasing code is completely rewritten, borrowing heavily from
SmoothType. Anti-aliased text now looks better, draws faster, and
requires less memory. You can also set the font size to anything from
9 to 16 point, since anti-aliased text often looks best at odd font
sizes. Finally, when browsing URL clippings, the Browser now displays
the URL at the bottom of the window.

Winner of a MacUser Shareware Award for Best Utility, Greg's Browser
lets you quickly and easily navigate your way through the files on
your hard disk, giving a compact multi-pane view of your folder
hierarchy. Greg's Browser was originally based on the NeXT OS
directory browser, which is the same model that Apple will be using
for the multiple column view in Mac OS X.
Version 2.7 now lets you edit file type and creator codes by clicking
the file kind at the bottom of the Browser window or by pressing
in the Browser Preferences box. (Note that live resizing is extremely
processor intensive and works well only on very fast machines.) In
addition, this version takes full advantage of the StuffIt Engine
from Aladdin Systems, letting you directly manipulate the contents of
StuffIt 5 archives. There are several other minor changes, including
improvements to the file info displayed at the bottom of the Browser
window and support for Appearance sound effects under Mac OS 8.5 or
later.

utility for Mac OS X
iClip is a utility that helps you get past the limitations of having a
single Clipboard. It allows you to quickly copy & paste and drag & drop
clippings to and from its multiple "clipping bins" so that you can easily
access them in the applications you're using. The clippings can be of
various types such as text, pictures, Internet locations, sounds, and more.
Clippings can be organized into unlimited groups called "clipping sets" to
help you keep all of your clippings neatly arranged. Since the Scrapbook
application that was in older Mac OS versions isn't a part of Mac OS X,
iClip can conveniently serve as a replacement for it.
iClip can be used to store and retrieve text, pictures, and other types of
clippings that you commonly use. It can also be very useful for when you're
dealing with multiple clippings between two or more applications. Another
use for iClip is for temporarily storing a bunch of similar clippings,
especially when saving each one to a file would be inconvenient. iClip can
be used in these ways and in many more to help you to be more productive and
efficient.
What's new in version 2.1:
- a dramatic increase in clipping set loading speed
- iClip opens much faster now
- saved clippings now take up much less hard drive space
- improved Unicode support
- ability to change the locations of clipping control buttons (left/right
for vertical orientation, top/bottom for horizontal orientation)
- ability to rearrange the clippings sets order
- various minor bug fixes and enhancements
iClip is available as $19.95 shareware for Mac OS X v10.1 or later.

Index & Shutdown
$10 Shareware
What Does It Do?
Index & Shutdown tells Sherlock to Index your hard drives and then shut
down. You can run it at the end of each day when you are ready to shut down.
Your drive(s) need to be indexed periodically for Sherlock's "Find by
Content" to work properly.
Before you can search the contents of a disk's files, you must create an
index of the disk. If you have modified files on the disk since it was last
indexed and you want to search the modified content, you need to update the
index.
The only way to be sure that find by content will always work is to index
your drives each day. You could set up a schedule in Sherlock to index the
drives each day at a specified time but that slows down your system while
you are trying to use it. Index & Shutdown avoids that problem by indexing
your drives during shutdown.
Features
Tells Sherlock to index the drives you have specified and when all indexing
is done tells your Mac to shut down.
* First quits all running applications and prompts you if documents need to
be saved.
* Puts away all non-local drives (servers).
* Disconnects all users (with your permission) if file sharing is on .
* Empties contents of Ram Disk and trash with your permission.
What You Need?
Any Macintosh.
1700K of free memory.
OS 8.5 or later
AppleScript 1.3 or later
Sherlock (included with OS 8.5)
30-day Trial
Index & Shutdown is $10.00 shareware. You can use this software for 30 days
but after that you need to register.
If you continue to use the program after 30 days, it will index drives but
will not shutdown.

Subject: LaunchControl 1.1
Ever need to set an application's memory size higher to open a large
document? You'll need to find the application, do a Get Info and change
the size, then change it BACK when you quit.
Or, do you have several large programs that are set to use a lot of
memory? Whenever you need to use two of them at the same time, you go
through the same process to keep the first one from using the memory the
others need.
LaunchControl can do all this for you, and more, whenever you open an
application (even by clicking a document icon - you'll never need to
locate the application itself again.) Just hold down a hot key when
opening, and you'll get a dialog that lets you:
- Open at the minimum, maximum (the maximum size is displayed), or any
other size in between.
- Save the new size if you like.
- Cancel, if memory is too low and you don't want to wait for the
program to start up, quit and free up more memory, and start it again.
Version 1.1 adds the ability to change the modifier keys used to invoke
LaunchControl. (The default is the Control key, which conflicts
annoyingly with OS8's Contextual Menus.) this is done directly from the
LaunchControl dialog - no Control Panel required!

Subject: Macro/Automation Utility: TriVectus Launch Key 4.0
[This submission should replace /gui/launch-key-30.hqx.]
What is Launch Key?
-------------------
Launch Key is an automation utility that lets your Mac automatically
do almost anything. You can configure it to perform tasks at the
touch of a key (no matter what program you're in), at regular
intervals (every Wednesday at noon), at a specific time (Feb. 11 at
11:30), or after a period of inactivity (similar to a screen saver).
Launch Key is based around Actions. Actions perform a single task,
for example, bringing the Finder to the front. A number of Actions
are bundled, including ones to select menu items in any application,
launch or open any Finder object, post messages, type blocks of text,
play sounds, open URLs, send Apple events, quit all applications,
switch the front-most application, lock all the your keychains, shut
down your Mac, put it to sleep, and more. Actions are grouped
together into collections called Sets that can be as complex as you
wish. Some examples of tasks you might have Launch Key perform are:
* Automatically initiate a system back-up at midnight of each day.
* Archive important mail messages as you read them.
* Launch all of your Internet applications at the touch of a key.
* Quit all of your Internet applications at the touch of another key.
* Open all the documents, folders, and applications associated with
a project, with one key press.
* Type out a standard e-mail reply in just seconds at the touch of a key.
* Quickly mount a couple of network volumes, and copy a set of
documents to each of them.
* Quickly and accurately type your e-mail address or web site URL
into any program with a keystroke.
* Remind you of an important upcoming event.
* Perform a general clean-up before shutting down-e.g., emptying the
trash and putting away documents.
* Let multiple users restore their workspace states, including open
applications, windows, etc.
* Launch an application-based screen saver or security program (like
SuperLock Lite) after a period of inactivity.
* And much, much more... the possibilities are endless!
As in previous versions, Launch Key 4.0 doesn't use any extensions or
control panels, ensuring maximum compatibility with other software,
and allowing you to enable or disable Launch Key on-the-fly without
restarting.
Requirements
------------
Launch Key 4.0 will run on any PowerPC-based Macintosh (including the
iMac and iBook) that has Mac OS 8.0 or higher installed. If Mac OS
8.5 or higher is installed, Launch Key will take advantage of
Navigation Services. Launch Key is fully compatible with Mac OS 9.
What's new in 4.0
-----------------
Launch Key 4.0 is a major update to version 3.0. Among its new features are:
* Multithreaded FBA! Launch Key is now multithreaded, so multiple
sets can run at the same time.
* Launch Key now defines actions via plugins. That means that more
plugins will become available in the future, expanding Launch Key's
capabilities.
* Timed activations: Launch Key can now launch sets at specific
times. This can be daily, weekly, or a specific time in the future.
* Inactivity activations: Launch Key can now launch sets after a
specified time of inactivity.
* New view options: With the show menu, you can view all sets, global
sets, or those specific to a particular application.
* Several more actions: Automatic Menu Selection, Notification alerts and more!
Licensing
---------
Launch Key is shareware; a single-user license costs $20. For more

Known Issues

Using "Look Mom, No Hands!"
Installing the Software
To install "Look Mom, No Hands" (LMNH), drag the "Look Mom, No Hands"
extension on your System Folder. The Finder will automatically put it into
the "Extensions" folder. Then restart your computer.
Opening Contextual Menus
Click on an item on the desktop and keep holding down the mouse button.
After some time, the standard Contextual Menus will pop up, including any
CMM Plug-Ins you have installed.
Keyboard-free Finder Navigation (Finder Folder Window Popups)
This feature was so abvoius that I had to add it *:o) Normally, when you
Command-click in the title bar of a Finder window, you get a popup menu
with the path of that folder and you can navigate to one of the upper
level folders. "Look Mom, No Hands!" lets you use this feature without the
Command key!
Configuring "Look Mom, No Hands"
You can adjust the delay between a the click and the opening of the
Contextual Menu with the "Mouse" Control Panel. "Look Mom, No Hands" uses
the double-click speed: if you want the Contextual Menus to appear faster
or slower, simply set the double click speed accordingly.
Using "Look Mom, No Hands!" with PowerMenu
When you first install "Look Mom, No Hands!" together with Mark Aiken's
PowerMenu, you will notice that PowerMenu does not show all its menu
items. To change this, please open the "Power Menu Controls" control panel
and set the "To pop up menus" key to something different than Ctrl.

you register your copy, you'll receive instructions how to permanently
remove the message.

This application picks up where Finder left off in its
implementation of aliases. Maybe converts a Finder alias file
to give it an additional effect.
Converted aliases do more than just point to the original item.
They can:
- play a sound
- open or print every item in the target folder
- open some other item (document, application, folder, or
whatever) first
- send an Apple event to another program
- make a startup item optional, by questioning the user, or
checking the state of a key
Maybe doesn't solve your problems directly, but it gives you the
power to do a lot of things you've been wanting to do.
Version 1.5.1 adds compatibility with Mac OS 8.0, and fixes some
sound handling bugs. Versions 1.5.2 and 1.5.3 fix very minor bugs.
This program is part of the AWOL Utilities 1.4 package,

Download menu-capture-102.hqx (7,856 KB)
From: jwwalker@kagi.com
Subject: MenuCapture 1.0.2 (a free screen snapshot utility)
Once in a while, I need to take a picture of the screen with a menu pulled
down, in order to document one of my shareware programs. If I did this
every day, I suppose I wouldn't mind paying for a screen capture program
with all the bells and whistles, but as it is, I resist. Years ago, there
was a tiny freeware extension called StillDown, by Gregory M. Robbins, that
enabled command-shift-3 screen shots with menus pulled down. But StillDown
doesn't work with Mac OS 8. Therefore, I decided to write a new free
bare-bones menu snapshot program: MenuCapture.
To install MenuCapture, drop it in your Control Panels folder and reboot.
To use MenuCapture, open the MenuCapture control panel and click the
"Enable" checkbox. Then pull down a menu, and briefly press the keys
command, shift, and control simultaneously. What happens next depends on
what version of the system you are running. With System 7.6 or later, the
cursor turns into a cross-hair; let up the mouse button, then click and
drag to select a rectangle to be copied to the clipboard. With earlier
systems, a snapshot of the whole screen is saved as a picture file on your
disk.
Version 1.0.2 makes it more obvious how to capture a contextual menu, by
ensuring that the cursor changes to a cross-hair.

A fascinating illustration of the power of Menu Events, Menu
Grabber lets you pick an application from any Macintosh on the
network, and presents an identical copy of its menu bar on your
screen (but in bright red and white-on-black, just so you
realize what you might be getting into). While grabbing an
application, you can pull down a menu or use a keyboard
equivalent to simulate the same action on the target
application.
This application can be useful in network management, and to
people like me who sometimes forget to close a needed document
before leaving the office.
Version 1.3 adds a handy Refresh button, and makes it easier to
deal with applications whose menus are sensitive to modifier
keys. Version 1.3.1 adds compatibility with Mac OS 8.0.

Subject: Menuette 3.0.1 (Animated Icons in Menu Bar)
This is the English version of Menuette 3.0.1.
Menuette replaces menu titles (such as File and Edit) with colorful,
animated icons. Menuette also allows you to change the font of menu
items, and even gives you WYSIWYG Font menus.
Whether you suffer from a crowded menu bar on a too-small screen, you
want to see what your fonts look like before you sue them, or you just
want your Mac to look awfully cool, Menuette's the solution. In fact, it
was awarded a perfect five-mouse score in a ZDNet review, and CNET called
it "the ideal utility for PowerBook users".
Menuette 3.0.1 improves compatibility with Font Reserve and other font
utilities, working around a conflict that could cause slow menu drawing.
It also avoids cosmetic conflicts with RAM Charger and iTime. In
addition, it's now possible to permanently turn off the drawing of icons
in the menu bar, allowing the program to be used only for the menu font
features. A complete list of changes is included in the documentation.

Requirements:
68k Macintosh
Power Macintosh
System 8.0 or greater (cannot be installed in OS X)
If you would like to have a window taskbar with quickly identifiable icons
on your screen, instead of a bunch of look-alike collapsed window titlebars,
then MiniWin is for you!! It consists of a control panel and extension that
you simply drop onto your System folder.
The Demo version will show you how MiniWin can make your life easier by
giving you more screen space when you need it. No need to close or move
windows! No need to hunt for the right titlebar! WOW!! Who could ask for
more??
If you like what you see, you may purchase the full version, which is a
control panel, for the paltry sum of $20.00. See the Read Me file for
details on the extras you get when you purchase the full version. Thank you
for trying MiniWin.

MoonMenu is an extension that adds a small moon in the current lunar
phase to the right side of your menubar. It serves as a subtle,
unobtrusive reminder that there's an entire universe out there, even
without your web browser.
MoonMenu also comes with an application that can compute the lunar
data for any given date.
We also had an "out of this world" time writing it, and we hope you like it.
MoonMenu has been tested extensively on old and new Macintoshes with
MacOS 8.1 or later. It uses a minimum of your computer's CPU power
so it won't slow your machine down.

As wonderful as the new iMacs and Blue and White G3 Macintoshes are, they
don't come with the most comfortable USB keyboards (or mice). The best
replacement I found was Microsoft's Natural Keyboard Elite, but to touch
typists the Open-Apple and Option keys were switched when using Apple's
generic keyboard driver.
The MS Natural Driver fixes this by moving the Open-Apple and Option keys
to a more familiar position for Mac users. Also, the PC application key has
been remapped to a power key.

Key Features:
- Switches the "Option" and "Command" keys for touch typists.
- Turns the "Application" key into a "Power" key. Note: This key will not
start up your computer, but can be used to shutdown/restart.

Download neatnik-203.hqx (340,250 KB)
From: KarlBunker@aol.com
Subject: Neatnik 2.0.3
Neatnik neatens up your Mac Finder desktop by setting the location, size and
"View" characteristics of folder windows. These characteristics can all be set
by hand, of course, but Neatnik allows you to batch-process the contents of a
folder (including all levels of enclosed folders), or an entire disk.
For Mac OS 8.x users, Neatnik can set _all_ of the "View" characteristics of
each folder it processes. This includes such things as whether "Keep arranged
by..." or "Always snap to grid" is set, which column headings are included in
list views, the Icon size, and so on.
Neatnik works on three basic sets of folder window properties: location, size
and "View" characteristics. You can choose to change any or all of these
properties.
Folder window location:
The folder window locations can be set to offset from their "parent"
(containing) folder's location, so that successive levels of folders will open
to "cascading", successively-offset locations on your desktop.
Folder window size:
Folder windows can be sized in any of three ways: given the same size as their
parent folder, set to their "zoomed" size, or set to their "zoomed" height and
given their parent window's width.
Folder window "View" characteristics:
This is the aspect of Neatnik that will be most useful to Mac OS 8.x users. As
noted above, with Neatnik you can set all the View characteristics for a batch
of windows at once, rather than having to painstakingly set them one window at
a time, or being constrained to the single set of "Standard Views" that Mac OS
8.5 allows.
In addition to lovers of neatness in general, certain other groups of users
will also find Neatnik particularly valuable.
Those whose work involves a great deal of folder-navigation -- perhaps on
disks received from other users -- will find Neatnik an indispensable tool for
keeping things... well... neat!
Producers of CD-ROM and other on-disk publications can use Neatnik to process
the master copy of their disks before duplication, to ensure that the disk's
folders will open in orderly and predictable locations on the end user's
desktops.
Neatnik is an application. It does not install any System extensions or
"patch" the system in any way. Because it is a standard Mac application,
rather than a simple compiled AppleScript, it has a sophisticated and elegant
user interface for setting its various preferences.
Neatnik was programmed by Karl Bunker and designed by Ted Van Duyn and Karl
Bunker.
Neatnik requires the scriptable Finder, which is part of System 7.5 and later.
This is version 2.0.3 of Neatnik. This version is compatible with Mac OS 8.5
and uses Navigation Services under Mac OS 8.5 and later.

NetworkRun is a script suite that requires Akua Sweets 1.3,
Dialog Director 0.7, Jon¹s Commands 2.05, Users and Groups
& XCMD OSAX, plus Speech if you want NetworkRun to use the
Speech Manager. What NetworkRun can do:
--Send messages over the network

--Send dummy alert messages (just for fun--with a lot of
options) :-)
--Send the same message to several destinations
--Send the same message to every machine on your network
--Check & delete the contents of a certain folder on any
Mac on your network by name, date, kind, etc.
--Create an evironment report about any Mac on your
network
--Make a Mac beep/flash x times :^}
--And really much more!
NetworkRun works with a real preferences file. It has a
two-level security with a password and/or an enabler
application that can prevent NetworkRun's use. A read me
informs you about the exact use of each function. A Setup
application checks if your Mac is OK to use NetworkRun.
If you are interested in chatting with AppleScript, don't
forget to have a look at NetworkRun Chatter! Also on Info-
Mac.
This new version includes compatibility with Akua Sweets
1.3 (no new features... yet!). NetworkRun works fine with

niceDesktop quickly hides all the running applications except the Finder
when it is selected from the processes menu (the one all the way to the
right...).
This saves a trip to the process menu. Instead of choosing "Finder" and
then right away choosing "Hide Others," you can just choose
"niceDesktop." This saves about .5 seconds. A graphic designer friend of
mine claims that this will save him at least 6 hours a year! Well worth
the $5, right? If you use this software, please register it. I put alot
of work into it, so if it helps you, and you use it, register.
Registrations are handled by Kagi Shareware. Register online at:
http://order.kagi.com/?M8
Drop niceDesktop in your Startup Items folder and try it out! If you hold
down the command key while selecting niceDesktop from the process menu,
it will not hide all the applications, nor itself. You may then select
Quit or About... from the menus.
niceDesktop's file size is only 9k and uses only 36k of RAM, so you can
leave it running all the time.

NudgeMouser 2 is a Control Panel that allows you to move the mouse
pointer very precisely, using the cursor keys or the numeric keypad. It
is a mouse "helper" rather
than a replacement like Easy Access. This is useful when:
- Adjusting things like slider controls, individual handles in graphics
programs, etc, that normally can only be dragged with the mouse.
- Adjusting anything precisely and with no annoying "jitter" when the
mouse can't be positioned exactly.
- Providing mouse button lock without buying new hardware.
NudgeMouser 2 is always available: you should never know it's there
unless you're using it, because it's only active while dragging. It DOES
provide the ability to lock down and/or click the mouse from the
keyboard, and to change the amount moved/keypress. NO modifier keys are
required; you can use them as usual (to option-drag, for example).
NudgeMouser 2 v2.0.1 is a bug fix that addresses problems with Apple Data
Detectors and sleep mode on G3 PowerBooks. It is $10 shareware and
should be compatible with almost any
machine or application: two extra files (included) should allow it to

Subject: Pattern Manager 1.5.2
With the myriad of other desktop pattern installers out there, why
another desktop pattern manager? Simple: none of them had the features
that I wanted.
Pattern Manager"PatMan"displays patterns with their names in a
user-sizable grid, installs patterns into the System File, and sets the
utilities pattern (which other desktop pattern installers don't do). It
fully supports drag and drop between files, the ScrIt has the best PICT
importer available, and, remarkable for a desktop pattern manager, it
has resizeable windows. It also has a nifty pattern information window,
and can change the background pattern periodically. Pattern Manager
ships as a fat binary, and so should run on all Macs running system 7.0
and higher.
New in version 1.5.2:
- Pattern Rotater should work much better now.
- Various minor fixes for compatability with MacOS 8
- A new e-mail address.
Previous versions of PatMan have been archived in different places, but
I think somewhere in the gui heirarchy is most appropriate, probably
near the Textures folder, as that is what PatMan works with.

From: matt.gough@mcmail.com
Subject: Poppet 1.0v1 - Mac OS 8 Pop-up Window enhancer
About 'Poppet'
Poppet (pronounced 'pop it') is a simple extension which removes what I
consider to be an annoying feature of Mac OS 8's Pop-up windows. (A Pop-up
window is one which sits at the bottom of the screen with just its title
Tab showing.)
When a Pop-up window is in its collapsed state, a click on its tab will
immediately show the entire contents of the window. This is great. However,
when it is in its collapsed state and you try to drag something into it,
instead of opening up completely, the Finder opens up (and updates) the
window in stages. This makes it really hard to quickly locate the correct
item you are trying to drag onto as it has either not been brought on
screen yet, or is scrolling away from you whilst you try to catch up with
it.
Poppet simply forces the Finder to open up a Pop-up window fully in one go
when something is being dragged over it.
System requirements:
* Mac OS 8 or later
Thanks

You know the popup menu you get when you command-click a Finder (tm)

This version requires System 7.5 and works in a very simple manner: it
looks for a unique open file of the same name as the window, and
displays the popup if found. The filename must be the same as the
window$B%f(Js title. If there is no matching file no popup will
appear and the window will drag as normal. If there is more than one
matching file, a small disabled popup menu will appear telling you this.
If the navigation popup menu appears, you can drag through it; if you
select an item, then Popup Navigator tells the Finder to display that
item. Just like folder windows in the Finder!

by Greg Landweber, author of Kaleidoscope, Aaron, SmoothType, and

Power Windows is a small control panel that taps into your Mac's
unused processor power to perform amazingly cool effects with windows
and menus. Power Windows was originally conceived to let you drag the
entire contents of windows instead of just a dotted outline. It
offers both solid and translucent window dragging, and you can even
enable multitasking with solid dragging. Power Windows also has
options for fading Finder windows (in place of the zoom rectangle
animation), fading menus, and as of version 2.4, translucent menus!
Version 2.4.1 is a maintenance release, which adds support for
translucent menus in Appearance Themes, as well as fixing conflicts
with TitlePop and SwitchBack. Power Windows is shareware, with a
registration fee of $10.--

Pretty Scroll is a control panel which animates scrolling.
When we 'scroll' a document, by clicking scroll bar or hitting page down,
the document is not scrolled to next page. It actually 'jumps' to next
page. Sometimes it is hard to find the point where we were watching,
especially near the end of the document. With Pretty Scroll, it is easier.
Since the scrolling process is animated, we can follow the movement and find
the last point easily.

- Full support for the latest MacOS technologies, such as Appearance,
Navigation Services, and Multiple Users.

switching applications truly simple and easy to do.
- A powerful suite of user configurable hot keys, including such actions
as "Open File" and "Quit All Applications".

QuickTrash is a little application that can stay in the Toolbar of

In order to move selected files or folders to the Trash, first select

Why use QuickTrash?
Have you ever been tired of dragging files or folders to the Trash in
order to delete them? Did you drop them many times in the wrong folder
or in the dock while you are trying to throw them away? Sure, there is
a contextual Finder menu with control key that you can use to "Move to
Trash". This still requires two hands. QuickTrash lets you do this
type of work with one click!

Subject: Quit Everything 2.0
QuitEverything is a simple script that quits all running
applications, except the Finder, or any applications that you want to
configure as part of an internal exceptions list. I highly recommend that
you set the internal exceptions list even if you think there are no apps
you want to save as exceptions. The reason for this is that there may be
a background application that can slow down the operation of quit
everything. Things like KeyQuencer and Kensington Turbo Mouse (or
Trackball) run background only processes (apps) that you may not see in
the application menu.
If you are like me, when I am working on a project, I end up with 4,
5, 6 or more applications running at the same time. Sometimes I need to
open an application for one minor step in processing (why must everyone
use a different text editor for read me files--BBEdit, Simple Text, and
others). It gets to be a bit of a chore to bring 10 different
applications to the front to quit them, so I wrote a script to do it
automatically. This is v2.0 which improves overall speed and adds an
internal exceptions list.
System requirements:
1. Applescript must be installed on your system. This is a standard
part of the MacOS these days, so it should be installed if you are
running any version of System 7.5 or higher.
2. You must have Sändi's Additions installed. Sändi's Additions is a

Restart Controller is a Macintosh utility to restart Macintosh computers
automatically controlling if the conditions indicated by the user to
restart are satisfied.
In this way the computer can run unattended and restart itself when the
prefixed conditions are satisfied.
There are 3 conditions the program can check:
1) Time interval. The computer shuts down only inside a specified time
interval.
2) Critical applications.The computer shuts down only if the applications
indicated by the user as critical are not running.
3)Internet connection.The computer can't restart if an internet connection
is up and running (the computer will restart if the internet connection
drops).
Combining these three conditions as the user prefers it is possible to
automatize the moment when the computer will restart itself unattended.
In this way a Mac server can be configured to run continuously with an
internet connection up.
If the Internet connection drops, the Mac will restart itself.
If the Mac is properly configured to restart the connection at startup, the
Mac will acquire the capability to restart and re-initialize all the
settings by itself in case something goes wrong and the connection drops.
When the user leaves the Mac, he can launch a series of tasks, backups,
network jobs, communication tasks or everything else.
He can also use a utility to launch tasks at night automatically as for
example our CronoTask.
When all the tasks are completed, if the specified time range is reached
the Mac will be immediately restarted by Restart Controller.
It is also possible to configure the Mac to restart at a prefixed time with
no other conditions, or at a prefixed time only if critical apps are not
running or also if a internet connection is down or both the conditions,
and so on..

He can also use a utility to launch tasks at night automatically as for
example our CronoTask.
When all the tasks are completed, if the specified time range is reached
the Mac will be immediately restarted by Restart Controller.
It is also possible to configure the Mac to restart at a prefixed time with
no other conditions, or at a prefixed time only if critical apps are not
running or also if a internet connection is down or both the conditions,
and so on..
This is the PPC version

Subject: System 8-er preview 1.1
System 8-er is a System updater with Apple's "estranged" 68K-users in
mind. This preview version replaces a wide selection of various System
icons with Mac OS 8-like ones (including the "Welcome to Macintosh,"
"Finder," Apple Guide "?", "System Folder," and "System" icons). Version
1.1 installs a menu bar Finder icon more true to the Mac OS 8 style, and
replaces window header "trash can," "suitcase," "locked disk," and
"locked file" icons with Mac OS 8-style ones.
The full version of System 8-er removes all "$," replaces additional
icons within Kaleidoscope and Aaron, and even brings the System 7
Finder's "trash can," "suitcase," "locked disk," and "locked file" window
header icons closer to style of Mac OS 8.
System 8-er updates resources in the Finder and System files. It is
strongly recommended that you start your Macintosh (or compatible) from
an alternate startup disk (other than your main hard drive) before using
any such updater.
Purchase of System 8-er for $5 removes all "$"s, and entitles purchasers
to ALL future updates.
this replaces ALL previous versions

Subject: Save Clipboard 1.5
SaveClipBoard is a simple script which takes the text from the
clipboard and saves it to a text file. You can keep addin "clippings" to
this text file without overwriting the previous contents. If you are
going through a web page, or other document, and want to save snippets of
information (text only) such as URL's, dates, or whatever turns you on,
just copy the text to the clipboard, and run this script. In v1.4 you
can opt to start the saved text clipping with a date/time stamp and end
the clipping with a divider line as in this example:
Tuesday, October 28, 1997 11:27:47 AM
Save ClipBoard v1.3
-------------------------
The time/date stamp and the divider line are optional, and you can
have either of these options turned on, or both, or neither. This gives
you the most flexibility in how the saved clippings are formatted. You
must set these options (as well as your target text file) the first time
you run SaveClipboard, and you can always change these options by
launching SaveClipboard with the Option key down. You will be presented
with a series of option dialogs where you can configure your preferences.
System requirements:
1. Applescript must be installed on your system. This is a standard
part of the MacOS these days, so it should be installed if you are
running any version of System 7.5 or higher. Most of the script relies on
the standard scripting additions installed with AppleScript.
2. You must have Jon¹s Commands installed. Jon¹s Commands is
available from Info-Mac archives or from Jon Pugh¹s page at

Subject: Small Screen 1.3 - show smaller screen boundaries
Small Screen 1.3 -- December 4, 1996
On a sufficiently large screen, Small Screen shows the boundaries of one or
more smaller screens. It is useful for testing whether something would fit
on a small screen.
Small Screen is not an extension but an ordinary application. It occupies
only a small memory partition (45 K) and can usually be left running all
the time. Contrary to tools like MiniScreen by Morgan Davis, Small Screen
does not simulate a small screen, it just shows its boundary (or several
boundaries) while leaving the full screen available. This is sufficient for
many purposes, and much more comfortable -- just make it a startup appli-
cation and forget it, it will be there whenever you need it.
Version 1.3 now saves the settings in a preferences file (finally!) and
adds the capability to make the screen boundaries float on top of other
windows even while the program runs in the background.
This is KindWare(tm) -- a gift to the whole of MacKind(tm). Enjoy, share,

Subject: SmartLaunch 1.2 - application launcher
Tired of searching through folders and menus for applications? SmartLaunch
is a MacOS utility for launching applications. It works somewhat like
Internet Explorer 5. If you type part of the name of the application a list
will show all applications on your local hard drives with names containing
the text you've written.
You can navigate the list with the up/down keys or you can click items with
the mouse. You launch an application by hitting the return or enter key, or
by doubleclicking it in the list.
Other features:
You can reveal the selected application in the Finder or get info about the
application.
You can drag from the list to the Finder to move or copy the application, or
to make an alias of it. (Done by holding down the standard Finder modifier
keys).
You can drag a file from the Finder to the list and have it opened by the
application it is dropped on.
SmartLaunch is freeware
Version 1.2 adds preferences for which drives to search for applications as
well as settings for what to do after launch (quit/hide/do nothing).
Requirements:
PPC Macintosh
MacOS 7.0 or later
Comments can be sent to jacobql@excite.com.

Subject: Smart Window 2.0 (68k)
System Requirements
A 680x0 Macintosh with Mac OS 7.5 or later. A PowerPC version is also
available.
Version 2.0 - New features
Totally new: Smart Window has been split into Smart Window Agent and
Smart Window Remote Control. Smart Window Agent does the "dirty work"
behind the scenes; it is a Faceless Background Application (i.e.: it
is not listed into the Application Menu) and receives orders by Smart
Window Remote Control; the latter must be launched just to set the
preferences, launch or quit the Agent and register the application.
Using Smart Window Agent
As a Faceless Background Application, Smart Window Agent can be
launched as any other application: by double-click, using an alias
into the Startup Items, invoking it by Finder's "Open" command or via
AppleScript/AppleEvent. The only difference between Smart Window
Agent and a standard application is the way the Agent can be quitted;
to do so, the user must launch Smart Window Remote Control and click
on the button "Quit Agent". Considering that Smart Window Agent
should always remain active, the user will rarely need to quit it.
Smart Window helps the user to navigate the windows during a
drag&drop operation.
Moving a drag selection over a collapsed window's title bar, Smart
Window will automatically expand that window, letting the user choose
the drop location exactly (or continue the navigation using the
Finder "spring-loaded folders" feature); as soon as the drag is
completed or the user moves the drag selection over another window,
the auto-expanded window will be collapsed again automatically.
If the user moves the drag selection over a partially hidden window
and the owning application is in the foreground, Smart Window will
put in front that window, letting the user see its content entirely.
While dragging over a normal window's title bar, the user can decide
to collapse it pressing the Control key or collapse all windows of
the application that owns that window pressing the keys Control +
Option; depending on the user preferences, at the end of the
drag&drop sequence, Smart Window will restore the status of all
windows collapsed with one of the keyboard shortcuts.
Smart Window is an application that works transparently and does not
require a particular installation, so the user will never face
extension conflicts.

SmartKeys 3.4.1 is a shareware control panel designed to help you type.
SmartKeys does this in four ways. First, SmartKeys automatically corrects
typing that violates conventional typesetting rules, such as typing more
than one consecutive space. Second, SmartKeys automatically corrects fast
typing errors, words that are often misspelled, such as "teh" for "the"
and "THe" for "The". Third, it can require modifiers to engage the Caps
Lock and the Help key, making them more difficult to press inadvertently.
Finally, in case of a system crash, SmartKeys can keep a log of what was
typed.
Version 3.4 fixes a crashing but in the control panel under 3.3.1 and
adds forward deletion to keyboards without such a key. (3.4.1 fixes a bug
3.4.)

Startup Chooser adds even more power to the Startup Items. Say You turn
your Mac on to print a text that You have written. If You have Netscape,
CyberStudio, Eudora and ClarisWorks as Startup items, You'll have to wait
one-and-a-half hour for all these apps to load. With Startup Chooser, You
can select just the Startup Items You need at the moment.
Startup Chooser lets You create "sets" of startup items - You can, for
example, have one set for Surfing the web (Netscape, Eudora, Fetch), one
for designing web pages (CyberStudio, HTML color, ImageMapper, Graphic
Converter), one for programming (REALbasic, BBEdit, ResEdit) and so on.
You can save the Startup Sets as files, which when double-clicked opens all
the programs in the Startup Set. If You, to continue the recent example,
have printed Your text, and now want to surf the web, just double-click the
"Surfing The Web Startup set" file, and the files of that set will be
launched.

SuiteSweep (PPC for MacOS) allows you to manage applications or processes in
logical groups. You can create groups of applications that can be launched
with a single click; switch between groups with a single click (hiding those
not in the new target group); show or hide a specific group; kill a group,
and a variety of other process managment functions. SuiteSweep automatically
tracks applications as they are launched, and adds them to its list of
launchable applications.
Groups are easily constructed by drag and drop from a dynamic list of
running applications to the group list, or by simply dragging an application
icon from the desktop into the group list. Most group actions can be
accomplished with only one or two mouse clicks.
In addition, most of the primary managment functions can also be accessed
via a contextual popup menu from the main window, a reduced size window, or
an iconized window. SuiteSweep is designed to take up as little screen
real-estate as possible.
The appearance of SuiteSweep can also be customized with any background
picture the user can create. Switching between multiple backgrounds can be
done from a popup menu in the main window.

What's new in this version:
*Corrects two bugs when reloading preferences after a restart when older
settings were not retrieved
*Solved a bug in Display Sets where main display and display position
should be both set together on 2 displays
SwitchRes is a little utility that will allow you to switch the
resolution of all your monitors . You can access to all the resolutions
of all your displays in a simple, customizable menu. SwitchRes
incorporates features from the Monitor Resolution, Monitor BitDepth, and
Video Mirroring Control Strip Modules bundled with your system. You can
use its menu in the Menu Bar, use its provided Control Strip Module, or
click on the Finder Desktop with its Contextual Menu Plugin.
SwitchRes has an extensive list of features:
* You can show and use all available resolutions of your video card,
not just those limited by your monitor. For example, 20 video modes are
available on my PowerMac 7300 internal video board. Enjoy your Apple 15"
monitor in 1024 x 768, or 640 x 480 in 120Hz !
* SwitchRes is totally configurable. You can define which resolutions
are really accessible, and which will require a confirmation.
* You can also create display sets which will allow you to change the
resolution and the depth of all your monitors with just one mouse click,
or just one key. With this new version, you can add scripts to display
sets. That gives SwitchRes the ability to launch a script with just one
key, or when an application is launched...
* You can assign a specific set to an application , so that every time
you use this application, your Mac will automatically switch to your
predefined resolutions. You will find this extremely useful for most
games.
* You can save the position of the icons and the windows on your
desktop, independently from one resolution to the other, unlike the
Finder. The configuration is restored at startup.
* You can script SwitchRes for resolutions and color depth changes.
SwitchRes is even recordable: When SwitchRes is running, every
resolution change is automatically recorded in the script editor

TypeForMe! is a tool that lets you click with your mouse, rather than typing on your keyboard. It is an assistive program ideal for people with limited dexterity in their hands, and allows you to type by clicking an on-screen keypad with your mouse.
Ship Date: 18-Feb-99
What is TypeForMe!?
TypeForMe! allows you to click on a onscreen keypad, instead of typing on a conventional keyboard. You are able to type all normal characters, upper and lower case, except for those requiring either the Command or Option keys to be depressed in combination with the typed key. However, the keyboard is still active on the keypad, so you would be able to type "Copyright © 1999". (The '©' symbol is made by pressing Option-G.)

View 8-er is a set of plug-ins for Tiger Tech's Window Monkey control
panel. When used with Window Monkey, View 8-er provides your
"list-viewed" Finder windows with a "white-on-gray" lined display, which
not only makes your Mac look like it's running Mac OS 8, but makes
"list-viewed" windows tremendously easier to read.
View 8-er currently only works properly when the font and size for all
views is set to Geneva 9 (the System 7 default). If your System is NOT
currently configured in this way, open the "Views" control panel, and
make it so. Support for the Geneva 10 font (the Mac OS 8 default) is
planned for a future release of View 8-er.
Purchase of View 8-er for $5 removes all "$"s, and entitles purchasers to
ALL future updates.

Subject: Virtual 2.0 - the Mac Virtual Desktop is back!
If you're familiar with X-Windows workstations, you have probably used one
virtual window manager or other. Virtual is one of those, for the Mac. It
presents you with multiple 'virtual screens' where you can place your
windows, so you don't have a clutter of them on your real screen. You can
switch virtual screens with a key combination, or by choosing that screen
in the Virtual window. You can drag windows around to move them to other
screens, and so on.
This is the final version of the new Virtual 2.0. It is fully compatible
with Mac OS 8, and has tons of improvements over previous versions,
including:
- More visual feedback: zoom rects when switching screens, changing desktop
pattern to match the virtual screen's pattern, live dragging of windows.
- Reorganized mouse-switching into three modes: simple (wait), elastic
(push against the edge of the screen), ballistic (throw the mouse against
the edge).
- Reorganized preferences: added balloon help and two new sections: Virtual
Screens (setting of pattern and name info for virtual screens) and Sticky.
Added option to add, as well as remove dogged apps and sticky windows.
- Misc tweeks: clicking the title bar of the Virtual window brings Virtual
to the front, etc.
- Now using an installer for easy installation.
- Misc bug fixes.
- Since 2.0b3, the crashing bug on 68k machines has been fixed, and a few
tweaks have been performed.

WindowMenu is a utility that exists to let you do one thing: jump
directly to a specific window in an application. Although I have a big
monitor, I often find myself going through all kinds of contortions to
get to a window I know is open but that is buried under a hundred
others. Applications with "Windows" menus help things somewhat, but
you still have to make the trip to the menu bar.
WindowMenu will pop up a menu of all open windows in the current
application and let you select one directly when you click anywhere
while holding down control keys that you choose. It also lets you
define a hotkey to cycle forward and backwards through all open
windows. I use it every day and I think if you give it a try, you may
too.

OS 9 in OSX.
*Application Switcher Menu (top right corner of screen)
X-Assist has a similar implementation.
*More than a 5 item "Recent Applications" menu.
X-Assist has no "limit".
*The ability to add personal hierarchies of items in an OS9-like "apple" menu.
X-Assist allows users to add any hierarchy into a "Shortcuts" submenu.
*An extensible "Control Strip" like plugin architecture.
X-Assist supports Objective-C (NSBundle) plugins. They are easy to write,
and examples "SetVolume" and "MP3 Player" plugins are provided in this distribution.
*OS 9 window behavior - when you switch applications by clicking in a
window, all windows for that application are shown. This behavior has
changed in OSX and can be a bit annoying. X-Assist brings back the OS9
windowing functionality and also allows you to toggle between modes.
How much does it cost?

Subject: XMenu 1.2
This program brings back the Apple Menu to Mac OS X and includes also a
complete application launcher. By adding one or more global menus to the
right side of the menu bar you can easily access your preferred
applications, folders (and subfolders), documents and files. Furthermore
there's no explicit need for a configuration (e.g. creating lots of
folders and aliases or adding items to user-defined setups) - just
activate the menus you like.
All menus and submenus update themselves automatically (unlimited number
of hierarchives) just like the good old Apple Menu so it's not necessary
to refresh them manually or after a certain time interval. In addition,
XMenu optionally displays small or large icons (using unique or generic
icons), sorts menus by kind (folders before or after files) and follows
aliases and symbolic links. Finally, please note that contrary to many
other solutions, this is neither a hack ("haxie") nor an unofficial menu
extra.
History:
- New option "Menus > To the left of menu extras" to move menus to the
left side of menu extras (instead of placing them in the right corner of
the main menu)
- New option "Icons > None, Small Font" to display menus without icons
using the small system font
- Tooltips and titles of menus localized
- Title of menus "Developer Applications"/"User-Defined" changed to
"Dev"/"XMenu"
- Some typos of localizations fixed
- Polish localization by Janusz Lirski

What is a Resource Fork?
MacOS files are made up of two parts - the resource fork and the data fork. In
general, the data fork is used mainly by documents (although PowerPC native
applications use it for code also). The resource fork is where all the interface
elements of applications are found, and the 680x0 code.
