Maybe 1.5.3

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,
which includes the following programs: Virtual Desktop 1.9.1,
Maybe 1.5.3, Help on Wheels 1.3 (and HoW Developer's Kit 1.3),
PictPocket 1.3.2, Menu Events 1.3.1, Menu Grabber 1.3.1, Trash Bag 1.2.2.
All of them are free, and Copyright (c) 1994-8 Ross Brown.
