Subject: Virtual Desktop 1.9.5


The premier virtual desktop manager for the Macintosh that works
on all types of Macs and all types of monitors. For 180K of
memory, you can have a virtual desktop as big as you like, in
full color. Excellent for PowerBooks and other Macs with the
ability to run many programs at once, but nowhere to put the
windows.

To get around, you have several options:
- use the scroll bars on the sides of the screen
- click a "door," or use the Door menu or Control Strip, to go
to a preset location (with the option to launch an application
or document)
- see the entire virtual desktop in miniature, and rearrange
your windows and icons
- press a key combination to scroll in any direction
- push a reference point on the virtual desktop from A to B
using the mouse
- shove the mouse against the edge of the screen to scroll in
any direction

Version 1.9.5 adds compatibility with Mac OS 9.1. With its many
helpful features and options for customization, Virtual Desktop
is one exciting piece of freeware!
