These are some replacement pictures for the MacOS 8.x "About This Computer" dialog box. As yet another way to customize your Macintosh. Software developers tracking memory leaks should appreciate a little change from the same boring Earth from Space picture.
Included are a few variations on the MacOS logo, some shameless plugs for the projects I'm working on (The Loft- formerly Event Horizon Reality Studio), and a special one for those of use who know the ins and out of ResEdit a little too well.
System Requirements:

This is the Japanese version of the ActiveDrag package.
ActiveDrag is a small system extension that will allow you to drag windows
on your screen LIVE. That is, the window will actually move as you drag it.
There are a few problems with this nifty live dragging utility. First,
windows that are partially off screen (outside of the monitor viewing area)
cannot be dragged live. Second, when dragging, windows in the same program
of the dragged window will not update. This is because the code that draws
the dragged window hogs the process for that application. Thirdly, dragging
a window requires some RAM. If that RAM isn't available, the window will
not be drawn correctly.
This utility is freeware.

FlashBack allows you to recreate any document just as it was when it was saved.
Every time you save a FlashBack-protected file, you create a permanent record
that you can go back to any time you want. Now your ability to "undo" changes
is limited only by how often you save! Save as often as you like without falling
victim to "saver's remorse!"
Hey, we all make mistakes. FlashBack makes it painless to correct them. Get
FlashBack, and save your important work as often as you like without the worry
of accidentally saving over something you didn't mean to. Ever have a client
who never knows what they want, and then, out of the blue suddenly they do?
And it was that version you showed them three months ago? Now you can give it to

From: yellowsoft@geocities.com
Subject: AliasCrony 2.1.1; Alias management.
AliasCrony is the ultimate alias manager. It has several features:
- Since aliases of applications lose the capability to have files dropped
on, when the original is on a different volume, AliasCrony can create
SuperAlias, a new alias kind, having drag capability always active.
- It can create aliases or SuperAliases and put them into specific
predefined folders, when you're using the Drag&Drop mode. From its menus,
instead, you can select the destination folders by using a speedy way.
- It can update aliases (also as SuperAliases) on the fly or else through
its menus.
- It can add, to aliases, some useful custom icon, freeing a bit of space
on desktop (as before: you can add the custom icon on the fly or else by
using the proper menu).
-You may configure any action of above through preferences and change them
with one keystroke before creating aliases or SuperAliases .
- It can scan all on-line volumes to create lists of:
a) attached aliases,
b) unattached aliases,
c) aliases and originals on different volumes.
-It can scan also individual folders-disks.
The created lists return useful infos about the aliases found, moreover,
from these lists, AliasCrony can do several actions:
a) retrieves and shows aliases and originals.
b) links/updates/deletes/moves aliases.
c) shows the Finder's Info window, about aliases and originals.
d) updates aliases of applications to SuperAliases.
e) trashs the whole aliases list.
AliasCrony is Internet Config aware, Appearance Savvy and requires at least
System Seven to run.

Manager to enable you to control and manage your running applications by
speaking some simple commands.
The Application Switching Manager is a public interface that several
third party utilities support. It is currently support by ClaireWare
Software¹s Program Switcher and Binary Software¹s PowerSwitch. For more
information on these programs, please visit one of the following web
pages:
http://www.kamprath.net/claireware/program_switcher.html

What is required?
Application Commander requires the following:
Apple¹s Speech Recognition System v1.5 or later (comes with MacOS
8.5)
PowerPC processor
Program Switcher v4.4.0 or PowerSwitch v1.0.0 or later
MacOS 8.0 or later
How do I use it?
All you need to do is enable the Speech Recognition Manager in the Speech
control panel and then launch Application Commander. Application
Commander is a ³background only application,² so there are no options or
other user interface to mess with. To cause Application Commander to do
something, all you have to do is say a command that Application Commander
recognizes and it will act on that command. Application Commander
recognizes the following commands:
Switch to the Finder
Switch to the Last Application
Switch to
Hide Other Applications
Hide the Current Application
Hide All Applications but the Finder
Show All Applications
Quit All Applications
Quit All Other Applications
Quit Application Commander
Launch
Most commands should be self explanatory. The ³Switch to
running application and Application Commander will take you to it.
The ³Launch

the first time. This folder is titled ³Launchable Files², and it is
located in the ³Application Commander² folder created in the ³Application
Support² folder in the System folder (MacOS 8.0 and later). Place any
file into the ³Launchable Files² folder that you wish Application
Commander to be able to launch. It is recomended, though, that you only

window pops up displaying icons of all running applications. The most
recently used application's icon (excluding the active one) is selected
by default. If this is the application to which you want to switch, you
can simply release the activator key, otherwise you can press the
tabulator key (while hodling down the activator key) one or more times
to switch between all running applications' icons in a round-robin
fashion. You can invert the order in which the icons are selected by
pressing the shift-tabulator key. When the desired aplication's icon is
selected, you release the activator key and selected application is
brought to front.
You can modify the activator key(s) through the Argus control panel. You
can also switch between displaying small icons and large icons in the
Argus switcher window.

Subject: Assimilator 2.0.1
Assimilator is designed for Macintosh lab situations where you want to make
all the harddisk's in a lab look almost identical. When the Assimilator
program is run on a lab Macintosh it will mount an AppleShare file server
and then make the harddisk look more or less exactly like a pre-specified
source folder on the server. It does this by throwing away (into the
Trash) any files or folders that don't belong or are different and
downloading any missing files. Icon positions, folder views, finder flags
and so forth are all corrected on the client Macintosh to match the source
folder.
Although it is designed for student lab situations, it has also proven
useful in other circumstances, such as for setting up newly purchased Macs
or in testing or demo labs.
New in version 2.0.1:
* Single log file on the system disk.
* Fixed problems with Alias resolution.
* Fixed the balloon help.
* Fixed import database to work with 1.x databases.
* Changed memory allocation in Assimilator.
* Various other minor changes and bug fixes.
New in version 2.0:
* Powerful new customization features.
* Handle multiple partitions.
* Restrict to portions of volumes.
* Support AppleShareIP over TCP/IP.
* Support assimilation from CD and local volumes.
* Execute protected scripts and applications.
* Fixed several bugs.
Assimilator requires System 7 and a harddisk.
Assimilator is shareware, $10 per Mac or $500 for a site license. Version
2.0 is a free upgrade if you registered on or after 1 Jan 1998, otherwise
the upgrade fee is 50%.

Subject: Austrian Keyboard Patch 2.0 for OS 8.5/8.6
This is version 2.0 of the Austrian Keyboard Patch. It corrects a problem
in the German version of Mac OS 8.5, 8.5.1 and 8.6 where pressing the
Apostrophe key (') would produce an accent circonflexe [^] instead. With
the patch installed, the correct symbol is produced.
Version 2.0 adds compatibility with Mac OS 8.6 and makes better checks to
ensure that the correct system file is being patched.

Subject: Austrian Patch for Mac OS 8.5
So Apple forgot about Austria. They have localization codes for almost
any country, including Lapland and the Faeroe Islands, but not for the
country of Mozart, Beethoven, Sachertorte and The Sound of Music. ;-)
So far, this didn't matter all that much, but since OS 8.5 it does. You
see, OS 8.5 offers automatic compatibility for non-Western web pages, and
if you install this feature, you have a permanent keyboard menu in your
menu bar (as you did in OS 8 if you had more than one keyboard mapping
selected in the Keyboard control panel).
This means that Austrian users have to stare at the German flag all the
time while they're sitting at their computer. I decided to change that.
This little patch adds some Austrian data to your system file,
*replacing* the corresponding German ones. You'll notice the difference
in the control panels Date & Time, Keyboard and Numbers, plus, of course,
in the keyboard menu.
This patch only works with the US-English version of Mac OS 8.5. It does
not yet work with the German version. I will make a patch for the German
OS as it becomes available.

BatteryAmnesia 1.5.2 for PowerBooks
Author's email address: jbkezer@kagi.com
BatteryAmnesia is a utility for any PowerBook that uses a nickel-cadmium
(NiCad) or nickel-hydride (NiMH) battery. Over time, these batteries are
susceptible to a "memory effect", which can reduce their battery capacity.
The memory effect can be cured by fully discharging the battery before
recharging it.
BatteryAmnesia provides a safe, fast and automatic way to deep discharge
your PowerBook's battery. BatteryAmnesia bypasses the low battery warning
dialogs, and prevents the "soft" sleep brought on by those dialogs.
Instead, BatteryAmnesia will run your PowerBook's battery down until the
"hard" hardware shutdown occurs, which is at a lower voltage. This
provides the best discharge possible without an expensive external battery
conditioner.
Version 1.5.2 contains the following enhancements:
- Fixes Mac OS 8 compatibility bug.
Shareware; $10 registration fee suggested. See enclosed docs for more
information.

Generic Amazon plug-ins only search for books, not music, so I created a
separate music search. Shortly after creating this plug-in, another amazon
music plug-in turned up at a popular web site. In testing, I found that the
other book and music plug-ins did not return the full list of hits. In one
instance, a music search only returned two items where my music plug-in
returned over twenty! In addition, the other plug-ins included a separate
search for classical music which didn't work at all because it was
searching the books database. My single music plug-in correctly searches
both the popular and classical music databases.

From: (Haruka ISHI) ishi@NetLaputa.or.jp Subject: Better Edit Keys 1.1J
(Japanese version)
Better Edit Keys 1.1J is the Japanese version of Alessandro Levi
Montalcini's original.
* Better Edit Keys is a cool system enhancement that allows you to use
the shift, option and control keys with the arrows, delete, forward
delete and clear keys in any standard text editing field, including
basic text editors such as SimpleText. This makes it much easier to
work with text without reaching the mouse. The following key
combinations are allowed:
- shift + any arrow: extend the current selection. - option + left/right
arrow: move to the previous or next word. - control + left/right arrow
or option + up/down arrow: move to the beginning or end of the current
line. - shift + option + any arrow: move like option + arrow while
extending the selection. - option + delete: delete up to the beginning
of the current word (or clear selection). - forward delete or shift +
delete: delete the next character (or clear selection). - option +
forward delete or shift + option + delete: delete up to the end of the
current word (or clear selection). - clear: clear the current selection,
if any. - option + clear: delete the current word (or clear selection).
* The above tasks should usually be performed by applications, but many
of them don't care. Better Edit Keys implements this default behavior in
all situations where the application is not already taking care of it,
but it does nothing if the application handles the keystrokes by itself.
This means that the above keystrokes will not work if the application
already handles them. For example recent versions of SimpleText handle
the forward delete key by themselves, which also disables the option +
forward delete keystroke provided by Better Edit Keys. There is no safe
way to override the application's own handling of the keystrokes, so
Better Edit Keys is only useful for applications that don't handle them
and for generic text editing fields like the ones in dialog windows.
New in version 1.1: - Minor changes in the code. Switched the payment
method to Kagi and recompiled with CodeWarrior 11.

Subject: CacheSaver 1.0.2d (German version)
This is the German version of CacheSaver, a shareware control panel
designed to periodically flush the Mac's disk cache to minimize data loss
when your Mac crashes. Special thanks go to Christoph Sahm for his work in
localizing CacheSaver. Please place this alongside the English version
already in the archives.
About CacheSaver:
Like many people, you've probably found that increasing the size of the
disk cache in the Memory control panel can improve the performance of many
applications, especially web browsers like Netscape Navigator. The disk
cache speeds up disk input and output by keeping the contents of files in
RAM, rather than immediately reading or writing them on the disk.
The problem with using a large disk cache is that when you save
information, the data may end up staying in the cache for quite a while
before it really gets written to your hard disk. If your Mac crashes
before the cache gets saved, your data is lost.
CacheSaver addresses this problem by periodically saving (or "flushing")
the disk cache, thus minimizing data loss should your Macintosh crash while
you are working. You can set CacheSaver to flush the cache whenever your
Mac is idle for more than a specific amount of time, or it can do it
automatically at regular intervals. CacheSaver also provides a hotkey so
you can flush the disk cache manually.

With CapsOff installed hitting the CapsLock key will no longer be a

then block the normal action of the CapsLock so that you still get
lowercase letters instead of CAPITALS. At anytime you can enable and
disable CapsOff by using a hotkey combination of your choosing. In addition
you can have CapsOff show an icon in the menubar when the CapsLock key is

For administrative work it allows the creation of log files for every scan.
What do the others have that Cast Off doesn't, nothing!
How much is it?
Cast Off also fits your budget. With the low price of just $10.00 it knocks
those other preference folder cleansers out of the ballpark! Order online
with the convience of the Kagi credit card processing service. Is Cast Off
easy or what.
Why should I care about my preference folder?
You don¹t have to care. You can let it grow till it has 7,000 items worth
over 100 megabytes. Why not keep it clean. Now with Cast Off it isn¹t hard
at all. Imagine all those files from those shareware applications you
launched and then threw away. Imagine how messy your preference folder could
be. If you keep other areas of your computer clutter free, why skip your
preference folder?
How does Cast Off determine what is orphaned?
Cast Off uses two methods to determine what orphaned. First it looks in
your desktop database (were a reference to all applications are stored), if
it doesn¹t find anything then it moves on to the second step. During the
second step it scans your entire hard drive(s) looking for a matching file.
If any matching files/applications are found then Cast Off determines that
it isn¹t orphaned. If the preference fails both tests then it is considered
orphaned.
What are file or folder exclusions?
A file or folder exclusion is a file or folder that is ignored by Cast Off.
So if you want Cast Off to skip over a folder or preference you can set it
to in the settings dialog. Cast Off comes with a high level of customization
like no other preference cleanser like it.

Subject: CD-Sunrise 2.2c - CD-ROM driver for ANY SCSI CD-ROM drive
CD-Sunrise is CD-ROM driver for ANY SCSI CD-ROM drive. CD-Sunrise allows your
Mac to use ANY CD-ROM drives. To install CD-Sunrise just drag and drop on
System Folder and restart your Mac. CD-Sunrise searches SCSI device ID
from 6 to 1. If you are going to use with other CD-ROM device, CD-Sunrise
will be loaded for biggest SCSI ID drive.
CD-Sunrise works any Macintosh. I've never heard any problem regarding some
mismatch with Mac/OS. But there is possibility that CD-Sunrise doesn't work
with some knid of CD-ROM drives; for example, juke-box type, don't support
basic SCSI command to work only with their driver, etc.
CD-Sunrise is very famous in Japan. Almost 10,000 people downloaded this
driver.
I tested following CD-ROM drives using CD-Sunrise. It worked fine.

CleanRecentItems 1.0
What it is: AppleScript program that cleans up the Recent Items Folder
Author: Ton Brand
Mac OS: 8.5 or newer
License: freeware
CleanRecentItems takes care of an error in Mac OS 8.5 and newer that makes
the Recent Items folder at the end of the path "Your Hard Disk:System
folder:Preferences folder:Navigation Services folder:" being overloaded by a
huge number of aliases in the course of time.
This causes an unreasonable delay when calling up an Open or Save dialog
supported by Navigation Services, because the system has to find the 10 most
recent items out of several hundreds (or more) for display under the Recent
popup menu.
CleanRecentItems sets a default limit of 50 for the number of items stored
in the Recent Items folder. When that number is exceeded, the whole contents
of the folder is moved to the trash. You can modify the limit by opening the
script of CleanRecentItems with Script Editor.
It is suggested that you put this program in your Startup or Shutdown Items
folder, which is in the System folder.

From: Paul Sexton
Subject: ClippingNamer 1.0.3 - helps you manage clippings
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.
* Save text or picture clippings as SimpleText files instead.
* 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.
With v1.3.2 you can now:
* Save the clipboard to a clipping via a new FKEY.
* Save the clipboard (or current selection) to a clipping via a new
Contextual menu.
* Both accessories work even without ClippingNamer installed - they are
free standalone utilities.
Use either or both as you wish: they make notetaking much easier in
programs that don't support dragging clippings to the Desktop, such as
Internet Explorer.

If you have two or more Macintoshes, you probably notice that the clocks
drift apart as time goes by. This can range from being a minor nuisance to
a problem, especially if you do a lot of synchronizing between the
Macintoshes. ClockSync II synchronizes the clocks between two or more
Macintoshes, by setting the clocks of the "Servant"Macintoshes to that of a
"Master" Macintosh.
ClockSync has two components. The ClockSync Master runs continuously on
the "Master" Macintosh, while the ClockSync Servant can be run on any other
Macintosh on the network to update its time.
All of my utilities can be registered through the Kagi shareware system.
Version 1.4.0 has the following enhancements:
- Master: Added log window.
- Master: Added network timeout setting.
- Master: Added ability to hide main window for a faceless application.

I give permission for CP290 Director to be included on the Info-Mac CD-ROM.
CP290 Director is Macintosh software that controls the original X10
home automation computer controlled interface, model number CP290. It
completely replaces the Macintosh software that comes with the CP290,
and has unique features not found in other Macintosh-based CP290
controllers such as MouseHouse and Xtension.
CP290 Director does not have to be running at all times to control
the CP290, since it takes advantage of the CP290'S ability to store
events for later execution. In addition to the standard CP290
features, CP290 Director supports the following additional features:
1) the ability to specify that an event is to occur at sunrise or
sunset (plus or minus a specified time interval); 2) the ability to
specify a specific date on which an event is to occur, and optionally
the interval in days thereafter that the event should be repeated;
and 3) the ability to specify that the event should occur only on
even days or on odd days.
System requirements:
* System 7 through 8.6; not tested with MacOS 9
* Macintosh with at least 4 MB of RAM
Release 1.5 adds the ability to print an event listing or save it in
a file. For more information, please read the documentation

CPU Charger version 1.0
-----------------------
CPU Charger is a shareware version of the popular speed boosting utility,
CPU Doubler. It is a fully functioning version but lacks the interface
and tuning capabilities of CPU Doubler. CPU Charger has been configured
to optimize the system for best performance, but does not take into
account
your current system configuration, or the history of previously run
applications. Optimization of your system may not be optimal.
CPU Charger works exactly the same way that CPU Doubler does. It tries to
boost the speed of your computer by as much as 100%. It achieves this
performance enhancement by properly managing the computer's throughput.
Throughput is defined by the amount of time the processor spends executing
process instructions. A process is any piece of software that performs
some
function on your computer, independent of the system. All applications and
some system extension, such as file sharing, run as processes.
Simply put, CPU Charger will optimize your system so that each process
runs
as efficiently as possible on your Macintosh. By wasting less of the
processor's precious cycles, your Macintosh will appear to run faster, in
some cases by as much as 100%

The Custom Launcher is a simple launching utility that can be
easily modified with ResEdit to incorporate your own settings,
graphics and sounds. It can be customized to launch
applications, open documents and folders, or handle URLs - all
with a single click or keystroke. You can build your own cool
interface to frequently used items and share it with your
friends, create a custom version to use as the main entry point
for a commercial CD-ROM, or modify the basic interface to do
whatever else you feel like doing.
This package also includes my Transparentify PICTs utility,
which can be used to remove the background from one or more
images stored as PICT files, PICT resources or PICT data in
the clipboard.

Subject: Cyrillic Keyboard Drivers
This is a set of Cyrillic Keyboard drivers I have written for English
Speakers.
There are 13 original keyboards I have written that have phonetic and
standard Russian keyboard layouts for all five standard Cyrillic
encodings, including KOI-8, ISO 8859-5, Windows CP-1251, Mac Encoding
(CP10007), and DOS CP-866. There are three additional keyboards that
allow for modified ASCII charts used on windows platforms in Central
Asia (Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan.)
Fonts and updates can be downloaded from my site at
http://members.xoom.com/twosandals/index.html
From what I have seen this is the ONLY package for Mac that covers all
these encodings, I am positive it is the only free one.

From: mhaveri@walli.walli.uwasa.fi (Matti Haveri)
Subject: DA Piggyback 1.2; converts DAs into apps
DA Piggyback lets you turn desk accessories into stand-alone applications.
Since a converted DA will have its own application heap, you can adjust
their individual heap setting using Get Info... as you do for applications.
You can launch your DA/Application in two different ways. Simply double
clicking will run the DA in the very same manner as it ran under the Apple
Menu. If the desk accesory has an item called "Open" in its menus, a second
form of launch will allow you to open files from the finder whether the DA
is presently open or not. This method varies between System 6 and System 7:
System 6 users should select the document icon along with the
DA/Application (using the shift key with the mouse to select multiple
icons). Double-clicking on either icon will then open the desk accessory
along with the selected document.
Under System 7, the document icon should be dragged on top of
DA/Application icon. When the mouse is released, the desk accessory will
open the selected document.
To use DA Piggyback, you must first copy a desk accessory into the DA
Piggyback application with Font/DA mover (press Option while opening the DA
and DA Piggyback). Rename DA Piggyback as you like.

This is an update to DatedFolder.script 2.5.
The DatedFolder.script package contains both a run-only AppleScript Applet
and a compiled script that do the same thing: create a new folder in a
user-defineable location and then set the name of the new folder to the
current day's date.
Version 2.6 corrects a *major* embarrassing bug that resulted in the
inability to select a non-Desktop location to create the DatedFolder. Many
thanks to George Spiese for pointing out the error.
Requires the following scripting additions (osaxen): Akua Sweets 1.43, Jon's

About David¹s SIT Patch
by David H. Sholkoff
©1999, All Rights Reserved.
I put this patch together to accomplish a few tasks safely and easily. I
believe it does, but I cannot be held liable or accountable by any means
if the patch does not work as I expect it to or if it causes some other
unanticipated problems with your software, hardware, peripherals, or
anything else, including whether or not any warranty and/or licenses are
voided by its use.
This product is not affiliated with Aladdin Systems, Inc ,
MindVision Software , Bill Goodman, Cyclos, Michael Hecht,
Microsoft Corporation , Apple Computer, Inc., Quinn The Eskimo, or
Peter N. Lewis or anyone else other than the author. Do not contact them
with problems or questions regarding this patch.
Full copyright notices and disclaimers are at the bottom of this document.
This patch cannot work properly while virus detection software is
running. Please make sure that you have disabled any virus detectors
before applying the patch (or allow the process to continue at any virus
alerts).
To use the patch, simply launch it by double-clicking on its icon in the
Finder, or select the icon and then open by typing cmd-o on the keyboard
or selecting Open from the File menu. Read the information in the window
and then select the Patch button. You will be presented with a dialog box
asking for your copy of Stuffit Expander. Navigate through your disk¹s
hierarchy to select the appropriate file, and hit either return, enter or
use the mouse to click on the Patch button. Even though the patch is
designed to leave your original copy unmodified and to create a duplicate
copy that is modified, I recommend that you create your own duplicate
first and work on that copy. If something goes wrong, you will then still
have your original file untouched. This is easier and faster and safer
than reinstalling Stuffit Expander from scratch.
This patch was developed on an Apple Power Macintosh computer for Stuffit
Expander v.5.1 and may not work with any other combination. I appreciate
any and all feedback.
Part I.
Stuffit Expander * resets the internet preferences (set via either
Apple¹s Internet * control panel or by the Internet Config * application)
to designate Stuffit Deluxe * as the creator application and
Stuffit Expander as the helper application for downloaded files. This
action takes place whether the end-user has specified those defaults or
other options. My patch eliminates Stuffit Expander¹s ability to
overwrite those preferences. This is important because
Microsoft Internet Explorer * automatically processes downloaded files
with the creator application rather than the helper application. Users
with both Stuffit Deluxe (or Stuffit Lite) and Stuffit Expander routinely
have the full version of the application launched whenever a file is
downloaded. Also, some people may prefer not to have the downloads
post-processed immediately but would rather translate and decompress the
files manually. My patch is designed to allow them to do that. Finally
this patch also allows the user to select MindExpander * , Compact Pro *,
or some other application to expand the downloaded files without having
that choice reset by Stuffit Expander as well.
Part II.
Aladdin Systems created a new icon for files stuffed in the new version
5 format. The icon has a red dot in the upper left corner. This patch
will decrease the size of the dot to 1 pixel but gives the icon a
3-dimensional shaded look as well as a slight overall burgundy tinge to
still identify newer-format archives by sight but without the ugly red
dot.
Part III
In the preferences dialog, I updated the look of the Watch Folder icon
to appear 3-dimensional, and the Internet panel now uses the Internet
Control Panel look rather than that of InternetConfig.

Download: http://www.montalcini.com
The Kodak DC20 and DC25 are two cool and inexpensive digital
cameras that come with Mac cables and software. The bundled
software is very stable and pretty powerful, but it lacks a
feature that's very important for digital camera users: the
ability to quickly download all the pictures to disk without any
user interaction, making the camera ready for a new series of
shots. The DC20 only carries 8 pictures in hi-resolution mode,
and they must be trasferred to your computer before you can take
more shots. Saving them to disk using the bundled software,
however, is way too painful if you need to take more pictures
immediately after the first round.
The DC20/25 Link utility addresses this problem by providing a
powerful, highly automated way to transfer all your pictures to
disk. It requires very little memory and free disk space
compared to the bundled software, and lets you save the pictures
directly in compressed JPEG format (the bundled software's JPEG
format is uncompressed and doesn't make the saved picture files
any smaller).
New in version 1.1:
- Fixes a crashing bug on 68K machines.
- Supports serial speeds slower than 57600 bps.

Download desktop-resetter-221.hqx (606,856 KB)
From: "Nick D'Amato"
Subject: Desktop Resetter 2.2.1
What is Desktop Resetter?
Desktop Resetter is a simple program used to store (remember) the icon and
window locations and sizes on the desktop. This information can be restored
(reset) at a later time, should they change or move, etc.
Desktop Resetter is an application only, it uses no extensions or control
panels. This helps reduce the possibility of it conflicting with other
programs. It only operates when you launch it and doesn't effect other
applications other than the Finder itself (the desktop application).
Requirements
Any Power Mac or 68k Mac running Mac OS 7.6 or higher. This program is Mac
OS 8.0, 8.6, and 9.0 savvy! Desktop Resetter works great with iMacs,
Powerbooks and G4's.
What's New in 2.2.1?
Fixes a problem on some machines (especially laptops with PCMCIA cards)
where the desktop was never remembered. This problem was introduced with
2.2.
No need to re-register whenever a new update is downloaded from this point
on.
An 'Extras' tab was added to the settings box. This lets you choose how
Desktop Resetter remembers the icons on the desktop. It also allows you to
turn the grid options of the desktop back on after a reset. Some users have
problems with this (where the icons would go back), so it is now your option
to have it on or not.
What's New in 2.2?
Desktop Resetter now remembers icons and windows even if they have the
same name, or if the name changes! Older versions didn't work properly if
icons had identical names.
Fixed a bug in OS 9 where buttons wouldn't be reset. It should now reset
icons and windows regardless of the configuration of the monitor.
The popup windows should work better with multiple monitors when
resetting.
Added more menus to allow more control with Desktop Resetter, and now
there are default buttons in the dialog for power users.
All new icon. If you are a veteran Desktop Resetter user, it may not show
up until the next time you rebuild your desktop.
Many minor fixes and enhancements.

DeskTray is a floating tray that displays all the items on the desktop.
DeskTray can be minimised to a small bar that floats over all windows
just below the current application name. Clicking on that bar will
expand the tray. Clicking back to the small bar or double-clicking in a
unused part of the tray will reduce it.
If you've even been in the situation where you had lots of opened
windows in the Finder, covering the desktop itself, and you wanted to
drag an item onto your hard-drive icon, then DeskTray can help you.
Clicking on an item in the palette will open the corresponding window in
the Finder.
DeskTray fully supports drag&drop. You can drag&drop items onto DeskTray
like if you were dragging them on Finder items : dragging an item will
move it to the desired folder. Holding down the option key while
dragging will copy the item, and holding down option and command keys
will create a shortcut. You can also drag&drop items from the palette.
You can resize the tray when it's opened. Move the mouse on the left
edge of the tray. The cursor will change in a double-arrow. Click and
drag to resize.
DeskTray is 100% Appearance-compliant.

Subject: Sesame 2.2 - Password protection for your Macintosh
Sesame is a simple but effective safety tool for your Macintosh or
compatible computer. This application prevents unauthorized access by
requesting a password whenever it is launched (for instance at startup).
Security options will prevent a power user from inactivating Sesame at
startup or forcing it to quit. And even if a snooper uses a System floppy
disk to start up, Sesame will protect you: it can automatically hide the
files of folders you have selected; without the right password, they will
remain invisible. You can easily personalize the presentation of the
password dialog with your own icon, picture or text, and Sesame even
incorporates a screen saver. And finally, a nice touch for site
administrators: you can create an administrator password in addition to
your individual password.
Sesame requires System 7 or higher and is fully compatible with Mac OS 8.
Sesame comes with a detailed manuel, and an installer program that will
install everything for you.
Shareware $10 (site license: $100, world-wide licence: $400).

What's new in this version:
* Skinnier File Types window
* Now carbon reliant (all versions)
* Better scroll bar
* 68k stays at 1.1 for now
* Added arrow keys support for scrolling the list
* File List now opened by default on startup
* Added new thumbnail feature
* Removed duplicate extensions
* Improved memory management
* Improved interface elements
Product Description:
What is Dot What?
Did you ever receive a file from a friend or from an internet download and
wonder how to access it? Now-a-days, many files have some sort of 3 digit
extension at the end of the name (ie. sit, hqx, bin), rendering it very
difficult to determine the correct application to associate with them.
Currently there are thousands of applications available for most systems,
with more constantly on the way, each with its own corresponding file
extension. How can you possibly remember all of these file extensions?
Enter Dot What?... Simply launch Dot What?, type in the questionable file
extension, and instantly be presented with its description, recommended
application to open it with, and even a corresponding web site for each
application!

Title: DoubleTouch
Version: 2.3
=== Description ===
Using DoubleTouch, you can shade window by keyboard operation.
How to use is very easy. It's only pressing key twice as double-click.
=== Other minimum requirements ===
PowerMac / PowerBook / iMac / iBook
Mac OS 8.1 or later
=== What's new ? ===
- OtherWindowsKey -
This key is for shading all windows except front window.
- CleanDesktop -
CleanDesktop is changed from "Finder Option".
DoubleTouch after clicking desktop, you can do the following.
- Shade all Finder's windows
- Hide all visible applications except Finder
It is useful when you find icon on desktop !
CleanDesktop has option to show hidden application by
CleanDesktop.
=== Fixed Bugs ===
- A wrong message -
When using non-registered copy of DoubleTouch vers2.2.2 over 10 days,
DoubleTouch displays a message. But this mesage is wrong.
This message is "DoubleTouch failed to remve codes".
It is essentially right that DoubleTouch shows message for
non-registered user in this case.
=== Changes ===
- HoldKey's work -
Until vers 2.2.2, if you set HoldKey, you have to press when you
use DoubleTouch. For example, it is needed when you want to shade
all windows by AllWindowsKey.
Since this version (2.3), if you set HoldKey, this key is just needed
when you shade front window.
i.e. When you use AllWindowsKey or OtherWindowsKey with DoubleTouchKey,
you don't have to press HoldKey if you set it.
- Remove DialogOption -
It was to shade windows behind dialog. I feel it is not useful,
so I removed it.
- No trap patch -
DoubleTouch don't have any trap patches. :-)

- Desktop Picture Aligner: A great little tool that lets you set default
alignment settings for any picture to be displayed on the desktop. For
example, you can specify a picture to be displayed scaled and aligned to
the bottom right corner of the screen.
Changes in 1.1.2:
- Fixed a small bug in Desktop Picture Aligner that prevented it from
properly setting the creator type of multiple files at once.
Try it out. At the very least, you'll find Desktop Picture Aligner useful.

Subject: Dvorak Lefty keyboard layout
The Why
As a lefty, I found the Dvorak layout a little less useful in building
speed. So I created the Dvorak Lefty layout. I popped the keys on my
PowerBook 1400c and arranged them in a mirror image of the Dvorak layout,
provided by Dvorak International (thanks, guys). I then used ResEdit to
create the KCHR resource, remapping all the keys to the new layout
(including the option & shift-option characters).
I never learned to touch-type, but have managed to get around 40 wpm
staring at the keyboard. I have been able to catch up to that with less
finger strain with this layout.
The What
This is a horizontally flipped version of the ANSI Standard Dvorak layout.
The Dvorak Lefty layout is a simply KCHR resource created with
ResEdit. It is System 7 compatible and should create no problems or
conflicts with any software. This layout is FREE. Copy, distribute, and
post it as you please. I do ask that the layout, the KeyCaps screenshot,
and this Read Me file be distributed together. Also, this layout may not be
sold, except that a reasonable distribution fee may be requested when
necessary. Share and enjoy.

New in this version:
* the Registrations database now offers a choice of three layouts when
printing, from basic to detailed.
* Revised the documentation to include compatibility notes about FileMaker
Pro 5.
About DXoft Get Info:
DXoft Get Info is a collection of FileMaker Pro 3.0/4.0 relational databases
designed to let individual users track quickly and easily several key
information about their computer configuration, such as registration and
contact information about their software and hardware products, TCP/IP,
Remote Access, E-mail, News, FTP and Web page settings, "login" information
for those web sites that use a registration/subscription system etc.
Relying on the standard Internet Config system under both FileMaker Pro 3
and 4, DXoft Get Info is perfectly integrated with your other Internet
software.
DXoft Get Info is compatible with FileMaker Pro 5 once converted to the new
version's file format. The conversion happens automatically when one opens
DXoft Get Info using FileMaker Pro 5 or later.
DXoft Get Info is shareware and costs $20. A special offer is available to
Software & Hardware Tracker users, and DXoft Get Info users can upgrade to
Software & Hardware Tracker and Software & Hardware Tracker PRO for the same
price as Software & Hardware Tracker LITE users, thus saving $15.
Registrations are handled by Kagi Shareware.
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.
You need a copy of the FileMaker Pro application (version 3.0 or later) and
an Apple Macintosh computer to be able to use DXoft Get Info (while the

EjectDisk is an extremely useful utility. With the touch of a key you can eject any removable media from your computer, ranging from the humble floppy to the latest DVD. You can even open and close the CD/DVD tray, and automatically eject a CD at shutdown. EjectDisk is similar to the Command-Y function of the Finder in function only--unlike that command, EjectDisk can evict storage from your desktop from within any program, and you don't have to select the disk beforehand.
EjectDisk 3.2 adds support for a number of CD-ROM drives which EjectDisk failed to work with in the past. It also increases the number of drives you can individually specify (from 4 to 12), and fixes a bug which could cause EjectDisk to miss disks when ejecting all disks of a particular type.

Subject: File Kinder 1.0b1 - a type-changer in pure Applescript
This pair of scripts does what many other utilities do: it sets the creator type
of text files. So why even bother?
They illustrate several scripting techniques I haven't seen used elsewhere, that
may be useful if you want to explore AppleScript, and if you want to tinker with
them it's easy - open with the Script Editor and tinker away.
Drop an application on the main script, and it will reset itself so that all
future drops (of anything but a single application) mark text files as created by
that application; it will also, via the helper "wait for" script, make its own
icon match the resulting files.
It's fast enough to be fairly painless, it's public domain, it uses only standard
scripting components (aka OSAXen) and if you script you might find something
useful. Lemme know if it breaks on you, I'll try to help fix it.

Subject: FileT&C Pro 2.3.0;
FileT&C Pro is an useful application for changing file type and/or creator
It's very useful for normal desktop usage, but is really cool when works, fine, fast and in background, with a lot of files. Also it can scan, quickly, disks and folders looking for files to treat...
FileT&C Pro is Internet Config aware and has a couple of options to change, according to name extension, following the Internet Config File Mapping: you may instruct it to change only files matching the File Mapping or just use your setting when there are no matches inside File Mapping. Naturally it may totally ignore Internet Config.
Internet Config has a great Database containing Types/Creators: FileT&C Pro allows you to use it, when you should insert a new Type/Creator. You may easily modify this Database...
FileT&C Pro has some useful hot keys for changing, on the fly and skipping any dialog, by using the preferred type/creator set in the preferences and for modifying the preferences before changing. You can also instruct it to ignore during its performance, some kind of files or to treat only some other specific types.
After all you may use the enclosed Contextual Menu Extension for asking FileT&C Pro to change your selection.
FileT&C Pro is Macintosh Drag and Drop and Navigation Manager aware, it's Appearance savvy and requires at least System 7 to run.

FolderBuilder 1.3:
FolderBuilder, a publishing/archiving helper utility for MacOS, allows you
to automatically create dated, hierarchical folders. Great for
organizing/archiving date specific material! Before FolderBuilder, I used
to have to type in goofy leading characters on the filenames of my dated
archiving folders so they would sort properly. It took a while to create
the folders by hand and type in filenames. Regardless of how careful I was,
I'd always get a few typographical errors. Since I was creating a digital
archive that will probably outlive me, this was unacceptable. I was
frustrated. So, I developed a tool to solve the problem -- FolderBuilder.

FunKeys Version 1.5
Copyright (C) 1996-97 by Alex Rampell
FunKeys is an incredibly useful utility for the Macintosh. What FunKeys
allows you to do, basically, is "program" those function keys on the top of
your keyboard to do things. (The keys F1, F2, F3, F4, etc. They are only on
extended keyboards, which most Macs have). Most of us Mac users never even
use those things, as they are unsupported by many programs; FunKeys not only
gives them a use, but it also makes them really useful.
With FunKeys installed, you can program all 15 of them to either open
files/applications, execute AppleScripts, envoke macros (FKEYs), or even type
text.
For example, F1 can open America On-Line, F2 can open Microsoft Word, F3 can
turn off the sound, F4 can quit all open applications, and F5 can type
"Sincererely yours." It's entirely up to you.
In order to take advantage of the AppleScript functions, you will need to
have System 7.5 or later installed; otherwise, you can simply use FunKeys to
open your favorite applications and FKEYs at a blast. Hundreds of FKEYs are
freely available from sources such as America On-Line, Info-Mac, and other
Mac software sites. FKEYs have normally been installed to Command-Shift-x
keys.
FunKeys can also switch over to a certain application if it is already
running.
And, best of all, you can still use the Function Keys for their regular uses,
at the same time that FunKeys is running.
Version 1.5 adds many new features, such as the ability to open any kind of
file, not just applications. This includes Control Panels, Documents, and
Sounds---everything. It also allows different Function Keys to type text.

This prgram puts an LED display in the bottom left corner of your screen.
To chage what is displayed on this LED display, other programs tell it to
"open" various strings. The string contains two words. The first one is
three letters long:
First: Vertical Position: T = Top, M = Middle, B = Bottom
Second: Horizontal Position: L = Left, M = Middle, R = Right
Third: Type: D = Diagonal, V = Vertical, H = Horizontal
Decimal points are TDP or BDP
Unlike other Gammasoft programs, this file doesn't require the Gammasoft
Runtime Engine. It has it's own runtime engine built-in.
If you have the Gammasoft Runtime Engine: When you decompress this file, be
sure to put it in the same folder as the Main Menu file. Also put an alias
of the Gammasoft LEDDisplay file in the `Data folder. Make sure the alias
doesn't have an " alias" suffix or a space after it's name.

Subject: Guarddogg 1.1
Guarddogg is an application that generates valid passwords given two
keywords: a master keyword and a username. The passwords are created
using a mathematical algorithm, not randomly, so the password can always
be generated again for a user name as long as you use the same master
keyword. This is useful for System Administrators who regularly generate
passwords for their users and need to reproduce the same password if it
is lost or forgotten.
Guarddogg was previously known in the archive as PasswordMaker 1.0.

Helium 3.1 is a shareware program that improves Balloon Help on the
Macintosh.
With Helium installed, users can press a key combination to instantly see
the balloon help for whatever's under the cursor on the screen, without
having to turn help on and off again. Users can also choose their own
font and size for balloon help text, making it more readable. Finally,
Helium lets users hide the Help menu (and show it for a moment if
necessary).
This version includes a fix for a conflict with Kaleidoscope, plus new
features. The program is fully compatible with Mac OS 8 (and correctly
hides the Mac OS 8 "Help" menu if you wish).
If you've been frustrated by Balloon Help, you'll find that Helium makes

certain ones.

What is InfoFloater 1.1.2 PPC?
InfoFloater is a launcher for KeyQuencer macros.
It allows you to execute KeyQuencer macros from pop-up menus or by mouse
click on an item in a floating palette. Using a specific scripting
language, both menus and palettes are highly customizable and can be set
up to fit your personal needs and preferences.
Furthermore, InfoFloater uses floating windows to display files of type
'TEXT', 'PICT', or 'rsrc', and a wide range of system information, i.e. on
running processes, open files, individual files and folders, the contents
of the clipboard, etc. using drag-and-drop or menu commands.
Last but not least, InfoFloater can be set up to run application-specific
macros on application switches, when an application launches or quits, or
is brought to the front or switched to the background.
InfoFloater scripts are intended to be executed from KeyQuencer, but it is
also possible to embed them in AppleScript, using a do script command.
Feel free to distribute it and include it in your software archives, as
long as you don't alter the contents of the archive in any way.

KeyQuencer Commands
Version 1.0.3 November 6th, 1999
KeyQuencer Commands are a bunch of free extensions for the KeyQuencer
automation program. These commands allow you get information about
your computer, process text and lists, schedule macros, run macros
conditionally, and automate some new tasks.
Some of the extensions work with System 6.0.7, but some functions
require System 7, OS 8, OS 8.5, or OS 9. Some work with KeyQuencer 1;
others need KeyQuencer 2 (Lite or full version).
This release contains the Conditional, Schedule, ScheduleQuit,
ClickMacro, ListApp, ListFiles, List, PopupList, WordCount, Snip,
FindOffset, Match, ColorPicker, ThemeSound, SetPointer, SizeWindow,
RecentApp, Modem, Say, Load, FileStatus, GetAppInfo, GetIdleInfo,
GetMonitorInfo, GetSoundInfo, GetWindowInfo, GetPixelInfo,
GetGestaltInfo, WaitPixel, Utilities, and EnforceApp commands.
Uses for these commands include
- Customizable hierarchical popup menus
- Visual application, window, sound volume, and monitor resolution switching
- Search and replace using regular expressions
- Automatic window resizing
- Automatic monitor size and color setting for applications that do not
do so on their own.
- Run different macros depending on the current application or window.
- Allow your multiple button pointing device to run a macro when you
"chord" (simultaneously press) two of its buttons.
- Run regular tasks, such as backups
- ... as well as many other new functions

Freeware
KeyQuencer is a great utility for automating tasks. The Lite version of
KeyQuencer lacks some features of the full version, e.g. the possibility of
storing scripts in double-clickable files. If you really do miss this
feature, then you should purchase the full version or you can use KQ Runner
in the meantime.
Requires
- KeyQuencer Lite 2.0 (of course!)
- AppleScript
- Scripting Addition "Read/Write Commands"

Subject: Lazurus v1.2
This is a slightly different script. Lazurus1.2 is a little more complex
way of quitting the Finder, and restarting it. It will stop and ask (with
a simple dialog) before it issues a quit command to the Finder, and
after, it will ask if you want to relaunch the Finder. You may use these
simple dialogs to cancel out of an action--just to be safe.
New Features:
This version attempts to fix a problem with Lazurus asking the user to
locate an application on launch. The application Lazurus was looking for
was the script editor I use.
System Requirements:
*OS8 with AppleScript installed, although it may work under versions of
System 7.x with the scriptable Finder.

This patch can be used to hack Apple's Location Manager v1.0.2 (included
with MacOS 8) to work on Macs other than PowerBooks. It may or may not work
on previous or future versions.
It works by removing the 'lner' resources from the Location Manager's
Control Panel, Extension, and Control Strip Module. These resources
regulate the software to run only on certain machines.
To use, simply run a normal installation of Apple's Location Manager. After
restarting with extensions off, run this patch and follow the dialog boxes
to apply the hack. Restart again. That's it!
Use of this patcher is completely at your own risk. I accept no
responsibility for what may result from using this patch or running the
Location Manager on machines it was not designed for. I'm fairly certain
that Apple and the author of ResCompare feel the same.

won't go away until someone enters the correct password.
At the moment you'll need ResEdit to install it. (I'm having problems
writing an installer that can write to the "System" resource file... if
anybody can give me suggestions?) All this involves is copying resources

LockOut is a $15 Mac application that helps keep people from using your Mac
while you're away. Helps keep your Mac safe from your co-workers while at
the office, and from your kids while at home.
email: lockout@mauisoftware.com
www:
New for LockOut 4.1:
- New background window option in General prefs: ScreenSaver.
- New Security prefs: Clear session log. If set, the log clears when
LockOut quits.
- Password set from the File menu (instead of the Preferences).
- Admin utility can disable the user from setting the password.
- If the username is blank, LockOut fills it with the name from the File
Sharing control panel, and if that fails, from the Internet control panel.
New for LockOut 4.0:
Below is a partial list of new features.
Admin mode is now set by a separate application called "LockOut Admin".
This application is normally used by a system administrator type person.
"LockOut Admin" allows enabling or disabling of LockOut functions. For
example, the LockOut 'quit' function or any of the preferences can be
disabled for whatever reason.
New Security preferences added:
--- "Warn of any break-in attempts after exiting LockOut mode". If checked,
and if any break-in attempts occur, an alert appears after exiting LockOut
mode.
--- "Switch to last application after exiting LockOut mode". If checked,
after exiting LockOut mode the last application used prior to LockOut
becomes the front application.
--- "Use Keychain for password". If checked, LockOut stores and uses the
password found in the default Keychain Access control panel. You can edit
the Keychain Access control panel and add a new LockOut password item
(Important: the Name must be LockOut, and the Account must be the user name
used for LockOut).
--- ³Allow other apps to Quit LockOut without a password when in LockOut
mode². If checked, allows other applications (like the Finder) to quit
LockOut without LockOut requesting a password.
New General preferences added:
-- "Hide Login window when in LockOut mode" hides the Login window until the
mouse moves or a key is pressed.
Background picture can now be PICT, JPEG, TIFF, or GIFF file.

From: ChrisLi@bridge1.com
Subject: LogTimer J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese Version of the LogTimer utility.
LogTimer is a System Extension which simply writes the time for System
startup, Restart and Shut down into a logfile on the Desktop.
To use LogTimer INIT you have to drop it on top of your system folder and
it goes to the extensions folder automatically. After restart you will find
a file called 'LogTime' on your desktop. This file can be opened with
Simple Text to see the log times. The file is created automatically if it
does not already exist. Everytime you start your system, or you shut your
system down or you reboot your system an entry is added.
I wrote this little Extension for one of the registered users of CopyPaste
who had this idea. It is a quick hack, but it does not patch any trap and
costs no CPU time except at startup and shut down. Therefore it is very
unlikely to cause any problems. LogTimer is Freeware, which means it is
free of charge, free for any non commercial use, free from support and free
from any guarantee.
LogTimer is released to the public as an advertising agent for CopyPaste,
the productivity tool for your Mac, downloadable from http://www.bridge1.com.
CopyPaste gives you ten clipboards instead of just one! 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! Type the usual keyboard command for copy or cut
and then any number between 1 and 9 before releasing the command key. Paste
works in the same way. In addition to the normal clipboard you now have
nine more.

This is the German version of Quit CSM.
Quit CSM is a Control Strip module which lets you quit applications
without having to activate them: you can quit a single application,
the background applications and all running applications. It also
allows you to quit and restart the Finder and quit background-only
applications and displays memory information (application sizes and
largest unused memory block).
For more info visit http://www.mabasoft.com/quit.html.
* * *
System Requirements
Quit CSM needs a Mac with 68020 processor or better, System 7.5 or
higher and, for System 7.x.x, Appearance Extension.
Control Strip, Extensions Strip (2.0bx or higher), WorkStrip and
ACTION GoMac can be used as module host.

What's new in Quit CSM 2.2?
- The procedure which calculates the largest unused memory block has
been rewritten: the value displayed by Quit CSM is now always
accurate.
- Quit CSM can now also show the free RAM in the memory bar. The
Display Free Memory option can be selected in the Preferences pane of
the Quit CSM Settings control panel or, directly from the Control
Strip, using the Memory popup menu.
- In the presence of more module hosts Quit CSM is now capable of
correctly recognizing from which module host it is running, so that
it can behave accordingly (some Quit CSM options and abilities depend
on the module host's features).
- Quit CSM can now quit applications not supporting AppleEvents with
WorkStrip too.

management with disk quota, e-mail, screen saver with screen lock, and
virus protection all in one package. Users are limited to launching and
using applications, documents, control panels, and Apple Menu Items made
available through customized setups. Users can be restricted on Open and
Save actions to a floppy disk, personal folder, drop folders, open only
folders, and public folders. Mac Manager¹s interface totally emulates
Finder. Users can set custom desktop styles such as 3-D, HiTech, or
Kids, and can perform multiple simultaneous filecopy operations.
Mac Manager is easy to use and simple to set up using guided
stepbystep on screen instructions. Mac Manager can control a user¹s
daily time, printer pages, inserting of floppy disks, and the ejecting
of CDs. A detailed log tracks ALL user activity, including time on
applications. A hard disk encryption utility restricts all access if
booting from another System disk.
Mac Manager is the perfect solution for homes, businesses, and schools
where computers are shared. Private files and data can be kept secure
and away from prying eyes. No more loss of data, resetting control
panels or chooser settings, reinstalling system software or trying to
find files.
Mac Manager is compatible with System 7.07.6 and is Accelerated for the
Power Macintosh. Site license editions support and take full advantage
of all Macintosh networks, and include a complete set of network
management tools provided by the application Net Manager. Tools to
control all networked computers from any workstation include shutdown,
restart, launch, quit, copy, delete, rebuild desktop, mount, unmount,
empty trash, set clock, lock keyboard, login, logoff, and more.
Demo Differences:
1) The demo only runs for one hour each day. At the end of the
hour, the demo automatically quits and returns to Finder. Other running
applications are unaffected. 2) The demo does not use Mac Manager¹s
disk protection features that prevent users from booting with another
system disk or holding down the Shift key to bypass extensions. 3)
Each group is limited to five users and only six groups are allowed. 4)
The hard disk encryption option is not included. 5) Network
management tools (included with all site license versions) are not
included. 6) Mail Manager is not included.

Subject: MacNamer 2.0
MacNamer version 2.0 ©1996 MarcusCom
1/4/97
The installer installs eight files on your hard drive. Four are
scripting additions, File IO, XCMD OSAX, Copy File, ResMover and they are installed
in the Scripting Additions folder in the Extensions Folder. Once the
renaming is done, you can remove them, but if you are an AppleScript buff,
you might want to check them out. The readme for XCMD OSAX is also
included. The three remaining files, including this README are installed
wherever you want them.
Requires:
* System 7.5.x
* AppleScript 1.1.x
* Finder Scripting Extension
* At least 4 megs of RAM
I'm sure that by now, most serious Mac users have upgraded to at least
System 7.5. If not, what are you waiting for?! But any System 7.5.x user
will tell you that once you do, you'll lose the individuality of your
Mac. All the machine names have been replaced by either " Macintosh," "
Power Macintosh," or " PowerBook" depending on the kind of Mac you have.
There are a few programs out there that help to remedy this problem, but
unfortunately, they are memory eating extensions that must always be
loaded to work. MacNamer is an AppleScript applet that uses two
non-standard Scripting Additions (included), and Finder scriptability
(included with System 7.5.x) to edit your active system file. Don't
worry, I've tested this out on a few machines running a different versions
of system 7.5.x, and it works fine. It even backs up the old copy of the system
file for you. And, not only will MacNamer give your Mac back it's real
name, but any name you want (up to 255 charcters)! To use it, simply
double-click on the MacNamer icon, and let it do the rest. As with any
resource editing, ALWAYS disable virus protection BEFORE you run the
program. It won't hurt the original if you don't, but you could and
probably will damage the edited version. After it finishes, it will
restart your Mac. If you have any comments or bug reports, send them to
marcus@ocala.cs.miami.edu.
This program is free for individual use. Please, if you want to put this
on an archive CD, let me know. Also, check out my web site and library of cgis
that I've written for UNIX and Mac at http://ocala.cs.miami.edu/~jmcla.
If you would like the source for this program, or would like to give me a
project to work on, email me at marcus@ocala.cs.miami.edu.

(Command, Option, Shift, Control) they are associated with. A Finder item
can be defined as: "anything that is an icon in the Finder".
Assigning a modifier key to the active Finder allows you to switch to it,
and if the Finder is not currently running, it is automatically restarted.
You can bring up MagicalKeys' control panel at any time, by having the
Caps-Lock key down while double-tapping or triple-tapping any modifier key.
Requires Mac OS System 7.0 or later (System 7.5 or newer is recommended).
Compatible with Mac OS 8.5.

around the screen using the arrow keys, and to click using the space bar.
I needed this for myself (to control some Macs where I may not always
have a mouse available), so I put it together very quickly and decided
others may find it useful.
I hope somebody can make use of it!
For detailed instructions visit the following web page:
http://wrench.et.ic.ac.uk/adrian/software/
The archive also includes a text file with the instructions, but here's
a trimmed down version to get you started...
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~
Drag the MouseKeys extensions into your Extensions folder and restart.
Using MouseKeys
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MouseKeys can be activated by pressing the control+option+command keys.
You should see a small black 'thing' appear in the top-left corner of your
main screen. You can now move the cursor using the arrow keys. Pressing
the space bar will act as if the mouse button has been pressed down. Press
the space bar again to 'let go' of the mouse button.
MouseKeys will automatically deactivate after five seconds if no key has
been pressed, or as soon as any key is pressed (apart from the arrow keys,
the space bar and the modifier keys: control, option, command, shift).
It can also be deactivated immediately by pressing the three modifier keys
(control+option+command) down together again.
Any problems, please check the web page above. If that doesn't help, then
you can contact me via e-mail: adrian@ic.ac.uk

Natural Order is an extension that makes "View by Name" in the Finder

E.g. "File5, File10, File15, File20" would list in that order,
instead of the System's standard order, which (believe it or not)
is "File10, File15, File20, File5".

Subject: Navi iRae 1.7
Navi iRae is a control panel that provides menus, when you command-click
in a window's title region, that lets you navigate through the path of
the file, just like in the Finder. "Navi iRae" just looks for an opened
file with the same name as the window's one.
If it finds several opened files with the same name, it displays a menu
with every file match in submenus.
Some applications, when opening a file, copy its content in a temporary
file, and then close it (eg. Photoshop, Illustrator, Canvas,
GraphicConverter·). In version 1.1.x it made them impossible to see for
Navi iRae. But not anymore ! Now Navi iRae now looks for recently opened
files to find them. Beware ! There's not complete guarantee this is the
real file.
Beware, for best results you'll need an utility that keeps track of
recently opened files. You have several choices supported by Navi iRae :
Apple Menu Options : no special setting required
OtherMenu :no special setting required
BeHierarchic 4.0 : be sure to check the option "Apple Menu
Option Compatible"
Minimum requirements :
Mac OS 8.5 and PPC
Price : free !
New to this version (1.7)
Navi iRae is now multi-users saavy.
Added support for Corel PhotoPaint.
Corrected problems with Jade and FrameMaker.

From: joe@wmrs.edu
Subject: No CapsLock, ` Del
Are you ever annoyed from inadvertently striking the caps lock key and then
looking up to see a string of capital letters that you must delete and
retype? Or, like most of us, are you right handed and envy the Lefties who
can mouse around and delete with their other hand? Well, here is your
solution!
No CapsLock, ` Del is a keyboard layout that redefines two keys on your
keyboard. First, it disables the caps lock key- just forget about it.
Second, it redefines the ` key to serve as a delete key (the original
delete key remains unaffected, as does shift-` , the ~ character). On most
keyboards the ` key is on upper left; thus with No CapsLock, ` Del active,
we right handers can manipulate the mouse with our right hand, and easily
delete with our left hands. I quickly found this advantageous, particularly
when working with graphics.
installation:
Simply drag the No CapsLock, ` Del file over the System Folder and the Mac
OS will place it in your System file (option-drag it to retain a copy of
it). Next, open your Keyboard Control Panel and select No CapsLock, ` Del
as a selected keyboard layout. If you have Mac OS 8.x, a keyboard icon will
display on your menu bar from which you can alternately select keyboard
layouts, for example if you really need to use caps lock or ` character,
reselect the standard U.S. layout. To dispense with the keyboard icon on
the menu bar, deselect all other keyboard layouts in the Keyboard Control
Panel except for No CapsLock, ` Del.
shareware:
I expect others may find this keyboard layout as helpful as I have, so I
decided to share it with others. If you agree that it speeds your work and
saves miles of finger travel, then please put a couple of dollars in an
envelope and send it to the address below - that'll buy a fresh cup of
coffee to keep me programming for another day.

Subject: Noflet 2.2.1 (formerly known as Teflon)
Mac OS 8 introduced a new feature called "sticky menus," where the menus
would stay down after the user clicks in the menu bar or on a pop-up menu.
This is a change from the way menus worked in previous versions of the
system software, where the menus would always go away after the user let go
of the mouse button. Noflet is a control panel which is designed to
disable or adjust this dubious "feature." Additionally, it includes an
option to have menus automatically open whenever the mouse pointer is over
the menu bar, with no clicking required.
Noflet 2.2.1 changes the name of the program, at the request of E.I. du
Pont de Nemours and Company, which owns the "Teflon" trademark.
Noflet currently runs properly only under Mac OS 8.0 and 8.1. This version
is NOT compatible with Mac OS 8.5. An 8.5-compatible release will be under
development as soon as I obtain a copy of Mac OS 8.5.
Noflet is freeware and may be included on the Info-Mac CD-ROM. This file

This extension is of relevance only to users of Norton Utilities version

me; I simply dug it up somewhere, long ago, and am posting it because I
haven't seen it anywhere online recently.
>From the User Documentation
When Norton Utilities v2.0 was released, it was a safe bet that
any Macintosh clock having a date all the way into the year 1995 was set
incorrectly. Norton Utilities has proved to be written well enough that it
has not been obsoleted by new system software releases or new hardware. As
a result, it has recently been warning people that their Macintosh clocks
may be wrong. This can be unnerving when the very reason you are running
Norton Utilities is because your computing world is coming down all around
you.
NU Fixer is an extension that simply changes the date that Norton
Utilities uses for checking your Macintosh clock. When the extension is
active, Norton Utilities will use January 1, 1999 for this sanity check.
Your Norton Utilities application is otherwise unaffected and the copy on
your disk is not changed at all.

Subject: OS8foto - an Ofoto popup menu fix for Mac OS 8
Ofoto® is an application from Light Source Computer Images, Inc. that was
bundled with older models of Apple's Color OneScanner. It manages the
scanning process and allows you to perform various transformations on the
scanned image.
The new Appearance Extension introduced with Mac OS 8 changed the system's
internal behavior in a subtle way that caused Ofoto's popup menus to break.
These popups are critical user interface elements for setting up the
parameters of a scan.
OS8foto is a small extension that supplies the behavior that Ofoto expects
so that the popups can work again.
System requirements:
* Only works on systems with the Appearance Extension installed.
The Appearance Extension *can* be installed on pre-Mac OS 8 systems

* Has no effect if Ofoto is not running.

3. Patches for new System splash screens. Including a 1984 splash, a
Japanese splash, a Gothic splash, and a Riven splash.
4. Some art desktop patterns (Warhol, van Gogh, DaVinci...)
5. A patch for Emailer 2.0 so that mail folders are Coplandish.
6. A patch for non-dayglow icons in OT/PPP strip.
7. New icons for the BeOS chooser.
Note that patches can be applied individually.
System requirements:
* System 8
* Resedit
* Stuffit
* Emailer 2.0 if you use the emailer patch.
* BeOS if you use the Be patch.
Uses:
The primary reason to get these hacks is to make your Mac work better and
look better. The feature most commented on in 1.0 was the ability to
switch from icon views to list views with the keyboard.

Date Modified. I liked this much better because you could see the important
info (Size, Kind, Label) without widening your window to fill half the
screen. In OS 8.1, the relatively useless Date Modified field comes before
Size, Kind, Label necessitating the wider window views. Requires OS 8.1 and

From: mardis.family@erols.com
Subject: OSL Handler
OSL Handler
(formerly ObjectSupportLib Check)
©1998 by W.S. Mardis
email:
What is it?
OSL Handler is an AppleScript applet which, after determining that you¹re
running System 8.0 or later, searches your Extensions folder for a copy
of ObjectSupportLib and, if found, offers youthe userthe options of
deleting it (recommended), moving it to the Trash, or leaving it alone.
Why do I need it?
ObjectSupportLib is a shared library used by many applications. Prior to
the introduction of System 8, it was a separate file which was installed
in the Extensions folder. Installers for applications that required
ObjectSupportLib often installed a copy, just to make sure it was there.
Beginning with System 8, however, the functionality of ObjectSupportLib
was included in the System file. Most installers, though, don¹t know this
and still install a copy of ObjectSupportLib. Unfortunately, its presence
is almost certainly bound to cause problems with your Mac. For instance,
you may see the Finder repeatedly load the desktop and be unable to
launch any applications. If this happens, you¹ll probably find that your
Finder preferences file has been corrupted and all settings have reverted
to their default values; the only way to get your values to ³stick² again
is to Trash the Finder preferences file, restart your computer and then
set your values. Something of a pain, all because of that one little file.
How do I use it?
OSL Handler may be run at any time by double clicking its icon. However,
since most installers which place anything inside the System Folder at
least suggest, if not require, that you restart your computer, the best
place to put OSL Handler is in the Shutdown Items folder inside the
System Folder; that way, it will usually run and check for an
ObjectSupportLib just before shutdown or restart.
More complete details on the use of OSL Handler are available in the
TexEdit format file, "OSL Handler Read Me".
Requirements
If you¹ve gotten this far, you probably realize by now that OSL Handler
requires AppleScript, and that you should only use it with System 8 or
later. That¹s it.
Testing
If you want to test OSL Handler, place a copy of any file (not a folder)
in your Extensions folder and rename it ³ObjectSupportLib² (without the
quotes). Double click on OSL Handler¹s icon and, assuming that you¹re
running System 8 or later, OSL Handler will do its thing.
Caveats
There are only two that I¹m aware of. First, some installers seem to
by-pass the normal shutdown routine, such that an item in the Shutdown
Items folder won¹t be run. Obviously, if OSL Handler isn¹t run, it can¹t

OSL Watchdog 1.4.1
What it is: AppleScript program that checks for obsolete ObjectSupportLib
Author: Ton Brand
Mac OS: 8.0 or newer
License: freeware
Some applications install under Mac OS 8.x an obsolete version of
ObjectSupportLib (OSL) in the Extensions folder. Since the introduction of
Mac OS 8, ObjectSupportLib is integrated in the system software and having
two OSLs present could lead to strange effects or even crashes. So now there
arises a need to check after every third-party software install procedure
whether ObjectSupportLib was wrongfully added. OSL Watchdog does this for
you automatically, after you have put the program or its alias in the
Startup Items folder (which is in your System folder).
If Apple should ever release a new separate OSL library, this will be seen
by OSL Watchdog and then you can easily adapt the script of this program
following the instructions then given.
OSL Watchdog can only be used - and is only useful - with Mac OS 8.0 or
newer.

Subject: OSL Antibody 1.0
OSL Antibody will check your system (OS8 or better only) for the
presence of Object Support Library. If it finds the OSL, it will trash
it. Since OS8 rolled the functionality of OSL into the System, and many
installers also place the OSL into the extensions folder no matter what
version of system software you are running, this is a good way of
avoiding potential problems and getting rid of an unwanted file.
System requirements:
1. OS8 should be installed. If you are running any system version
lower than OS8, this script will throw out a dialog telling you that you
need to be running OS8, and then quit when you dismiss the dialog. If you
are not running OS8, you probably want to use Object Support Library,
anyway.
2. 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.

Subject: OTConfigs 2.0
OTConfigs is an AppleScript addition that lets you control OpenTransport
configurations using AppleScript.
Main feature since 1.0:
- Change the configuration of TCP/IP, PPP, and other OpenTransport
control panels without having to open a Control Panel.
New features in 2.0:
- You can Export, Import, Delete, and Rename an OpenTransport
configuration via AppleScript - very useful when moving configurations
from one machine to another or installing a set of configurations onto
multiple machines.
- Using program linking, you can execute an OTConfigs command on a
remote machine.
Sample scripts that exhibit each feature are included. A few of them
are...
- "Export All Configs"
Executing this script exports all configurations currently available.
- "Import Configs"
You can drop any type of OpenTransport configuration files onto this
script application. Dropped files will be imported by appropriate
OpenTransport Control Panels.
In order to move OpenTransport configurations from one machine to
another, you execute "Export All Configs", move the folder containing
the configuration files to the target machine, and drop it onto "Import
Configs". All configurations will be available on the target machine.
Using program linking and scriptable Finder, you could install
configurations without seeing a target machine.
OTConfigs is a $10 shareware. However, you can use all features without
paying a shareware fee, except that you can't execute a command on a
remote machine without obtaining a registration code.

Pads is a simple replacement for the standard Note Pad and Stickies
applications. It is a carbonized application that runs natively under Mac OS
X.
Pads is as simple to use as either Note Pad or Stickies, yet provides
significant new features. Pads gives users the ability to organize their
notes and use them more effectively.
Features:
- Notes can be given titles.
- Notes can be categorized.
- Pages can be "torn off" so that multiple pages can be viewed at
once (like Stickies). These tear-off pages can be closed later
without destroying the original notes.
- Standard Macintosh features such as styled text and drag-and-drop
editing are supported. Text wrapping (on by default) can be turned off.
- New notes can be created automatically when text selections, clippings
or files are dragged into the Pads window.
- The interface is intuitive and can be customized by the user
- Pages can be locked to protect against accidental deletion
or modification.
Pads is a shareware program. It is not restricted in features or
time-limited in any way. The fee for a single user license is $15.

PageMark is a Macintosh extension which flashes a bar to mark the end of the
previous page when you use a scrollbar control or the Page Down key to scroll
down a page and reach the end of a document.
When you reach the end of a document, often the page has scrolled up just a
few lines rather than a whole page... and you have to scan back over a whole
page you've already read to find the new lines at the end.
With PageMark, you won't waste time figuring out where you are, since the
flashing indicator shows you exactly where the previous page ended.
PageMark can also be configured to flash the marker when scrolling reaches the
top of a document, or the left or right margin, with different settings for
different applications. The "flashes" popup menu lets you select the number
of flashes; selecting "No flashes" will turn off the marker flashes for the
selected application. If the "Persistent bar" checkbox is on, PageMark leaves
the marker on, clearing it when you press a key or the mouse button.
PageMark requires Macintosh System 7.0 or later. The PageMark Extension is
packaged in a Control Panel. PageMark works with almost all Macintosh windows
which have scrollbars, including Netscape and Internet Explorer windows (the
only major exceptions appear to be Finder windows under MacOS 8 and the Alpha
text editor).
PageMark is $5 shareware. You can test PageMark for 30 days without
registering; after 30 days the PageMark Extension is disabled. (PageMark is

Subject: Peek-a-Boo 1.6J - Japanese Version
Peek-a-Boo is a utility to monitor and manipulate all running processes.
You can watch how much CPU time each process uses, adjust the CPU time
requested by each process, and look at any piece of information
available through the Process Manager.
The Process Manager (available in MacOS System 7 and later) maintains a
dozen or so pieces of information about each running process (normally
an application); many fine utilities show a subset of this information.
My personal motivation for writing Peek-a-Boo was that no existing
utility showed precisely the subset of Process Manager information I
needed to know at a given time. So I made sure that Peek-a-Boo can show
any piece of information available via the Process Manager; preferences
can be edited to view only those pieces of information you need. And,
with the Special Technology of Peek-a-Boo ST, you can now adjust the
priorities of processes to customize which processes get more processor
time.
Peek-a-Boo 1.6 offers a new Apple Event interface for programmers.
CSM Pack and ramBunctious both use different aspects of this interface.
Peek-a-Boo 1.6 allows you to start typing a process name and it selects
that process. This feature has been frequently requested, and we're glad
to announce its availability.
Peek-a-Boo 1.6 also allows left- and right-arrow keypresses to cycle
through processes in the order that they're located in memory. This can
make it easier to select specific processes when you're trying to make a
contiguous range of memory available.
Several minor bugs have been fixed.

From: Bob Clark
Subject: Peek-a-Boo 1.6
Peek-a-Boo 1.6 is a $20 utility to monitor and manipulate all running
processes. You can watch and adjust how much CPU time each process uses.
You can view any piece of information available through the Process
Manager, sorting processes by a variety of attributes.
Peek-a-Boo "Special Technology" can adjust how much of the CPU a program
is allowed to use. For example, if a web browser is using up too much CPU
time when it should be idling, Peek-a-Boo can lower that process's
priority. Alternatively, if a number-crunching program in the background
needs more CPU time, Peek-a-Boo can raise its priority. Peek-a-Boo is
well-suited to this task since it both shows CPU usage and adjusts it, so
you can see what processes need their priorities changed, and you can
watch how well the adjustments worked.
Peek-a-Boo does not need to be running for Special Technology to take
effect: once a process's priority is adjusted, it remains set until it's
adjusted again.
Peek-a-Boo lets you open CPU history windows to track how much processor
power a process uses, and logging windows for more detailed CPU and
memory usage analysis, including the ability to save the results to a
tab-delimited log file.
**** What is new in Peek-a-Boo 1.6 ****
Peek-a-Boo has implemented an Apple Event interface to enable third-party
programs to use Peek-a-Boo's Special Technology feature to set process
priorities.
Another Clarkwood Software product, CSM Pack, includes a module that uses
this interface to set priorities using a control strip module.
This Apple Event interface, and an earlier one for telling Peek-a-Boo
about Temporary Memory usage, are now available for programmers using a
newly-available SDK.
Peek-a-Bo 1.6 allows you to start typing a process name and it selects
that process. This feature has been frequently requested, and we're glad
to announce its availability.
Peek-a-Boo 1.6 also allows left- and right-arrow keypresses to cycle

*Quickly open commonly used files or launch any application.
PowerMenu also provides these handy features:
*"File Copy and Paste", a unique feature that makes manipulating files much
easier. With File Copy and Paste, you can "pick up" files and "drop" them
into another folder without dragging and dropping. You can even "gather"
many files from different locations and copy or move them all to a single
target folder with just a few clicks or keystrokes!
*A pop-up menu, accessible from any application, that lets you quickly open
or launch your commonly used files and applications with a single click.
PowerMenu gets the job done faster with:
*Fully hierarchical menus to allow you to group items into submenus for
even faster access.
*Multithreaded operation; PowerMenu rebuilds your menus in the background
while you work, so even very large menus appear instantly.
*Takes full advantage of MacOS 8 features, but is still fully compatible

This control panel keeps previous saved versions of any kind of document

Tell it what to track, e.g. all Illustrator documents in the graphics

how many versions to keep. Then, every time you save changes to a document,
Pre Version rescues the earlier version from being overwritten. Keep as
many versions as you want. By comparison, Alladin's commercial FlashBack
requires you to specify each document (not each kind of document) that you
want to keep previous versions of.
I was glad to see that Pre Version runs fine under OS 8.1, even though it
dates from 1992. It was posted on archives earlier, with the docs in

PrintGuard - a control panel to restrict user access to network printers
you wish to protect. Useful for your company, university, cybercafe,
wherever there are free access computers with network printers. And this
can save trees too!
Imagine your network includes a dye sublimation printer and somebody tries
to use it to print a 300 pages manual... and just think how much this will
cost you! PrintGuard will warn this thoughtless user that the printer
he/she chose is an expensive one to use.
The new version can now limit access to up to six printers.

Subject: ProTYPE v1.1 - Mac to Apple II File Converter
ProTYPE converts files you drag & drop on it to make them better useable
with Apple II computers. It will strip resource forks from text files,
type the files correctly and convert Binscii files. It will also preserve
file/aux types of all kinds of file inside a Binscii wrapper.
It is scriptable (understands AppleEvents) and can be used as a helper
application for Internet programs. So you can tell Netscape or Anarchie
to postprocess all .bsq files with ProTYPE, for example.
Changes from version 1.0:
- conversion of BinScii files with DOS or UNIX style end-of-line formatting
- every text file becomes a ProDOS text file, not just the ones with a
known suffix
- Fat (68K and PPC code)

Subject: Purge OSL 1.0.4
This script checks for the presence of the ObjectSupportLib library
(OSL) in the Extensions folder of any disk. Under Mac OS 8 or newer, it
provides the option to remove it. Under System 7.x, it warns of the
absence of OSL, or the presence of an obsolete version. The script was
written to deal with the fact that many software installer packages
install OSL even though it should not be present under Mac OS 8 or newer
(because a more recent version of OSL is already in the System file),
and also to deal with the fact that many packages install older,
defective versions of OSL over the most recent version.
Purge OSL requires AppleScript, the scriptable Finder and the standard
Apple Choose File and Display Dialog scripting additions. Earlier
versions of Purge OSL have been tested with AppleScript 1.1 and System
7.6 and AppleScript 1.1.2 and Mac OS 8.0. Version 1.0.4 has been tested
with AppleScript 1.1.2 and Mac OS 8.1, and it is believed that it will
compile and run under earlier versions.
Version 1.0.4 now works correctly with OS 8.1

daemon application) to monitor the processes running on another
machine of the network.
Using ProcessWatcher you can also kill the running processes, launch
new processes, and send Open AppleEvents to running processes, easily
bring an application to the front... It has some support for
scripting so you can open your remote connections automatically.
Version 3.1 is MacOS 8 appearence compliant.
Version 3.2 fixes bugs and adds contextual menus.
ProcessWatcher is freeware. Requirements: Mac 68K or Power Mac PPC,

When installed as directed, PW DG asks the user to enter a password. If the
password is incorrect than the computer shuts down.
Some features:
The password is saved somewhere on your computer where no one can access it
in an encrypted file that has no creator app or file type so it cannot be
opened when double clicked on. You set the password yourself. When you type
the password in the pw setter program, it shows up as bullets. To view the
password you set just open the pw viewing program. Be sure to hide this so no
one can get to your password.

Subject: QuickScrap 1.2
QuickScrap (QS) can do things to make your life so much easier when using
your Macintosh. Have you ever wanted to be able to easily store a piece
of information from any document you're reading or editing? Here's how
it's done with and without QuickScrap:
Without QuickScrap:
- select the information
- type Command-C to copy
- switch to finder or use the apple menu
- open your other application or scrapbook
- type Command-V to paste in the info
- switch back to the first application
- continue where you left off
With QuickScrap:
- select the info
- type your QS hotkey
- continue
With QuickScrap, you can send the data on the clipboard instantly to a
scrapbook file, a ScrapIt Pro file or a QuickScrap file by pressing a key
(or keys) of your choice! The QuickScrap file can be used as a multiple
clipboard containing as many as 100 items (you choose how many items it
will hold). You can have QuickScrap automatically copy any selection
you've made in any document you're working on and send the data directly
to a scrap file with one keystroke.
Another handy feature of QuickScrap is that you can set a "Hotkey" to
allow you to type a quick note (or edit text on the clipboard) and send
it to a scrap file without having to leave the application you're
currently in.
You can set another key to open any scrap file, display all the items in
a gallery view or alphabetical list view and allow you to select an item
and instantly have it pasted into whatever document you're editing.
New features added in version 1.2:
New interface (resize & move window), bug fixes (correctly checks for
maximum scrap file size now), Special Applications list now works
properly. Now works with ScrapIt Pro v5.5. Will create name from first
characters of text when copying text to a scrap file.

About QuickTrash...
QuickTrash enables you to move a file, a set of files, a folder or a set
of folders to Trash Folder with a point-and-click while your other hand
is holding down a specific key combination to enable the feature. It is
great when you have lots of files to remove and they are scattered all
over or you have many windows opened so that you can't dig out the Trash
to dump the files.
How to install...
QuickTrash is an INIT program that goes into Extension Folder of your
Macintosh. After download, decode '.hqx' file, unstuff '.sit' file, then
you will have a folder containing the program and other information.
Move QuickTrash to your System Folder and click okay to move it into the
Extension Folder. Restart your computer.
How to operate...
When you are on Finder, press down Control Key with Option Key. The
arrow cursor should be changed to something else. Click with a mouse on
the file you want to delete. If the cursor is not changed with the key
combination or the file doesn't move to Trash when it clicked, maybe
your machine is not configured to work with this version. Check the
requirement again...
To remove a set of files or folders, while QuickTrash is
activated(combo-key), select files as you would do normally when you are
in the finder(rubber band method).
Requirements...
This version is NO FAT which is only designed to work for PowerPC
Macintosh, and only tested for MacOS 8.1 and MacOS 8.5.
- PowerPC Macintosh
- MacOS 8.0 or higher
Shareware...
QuickTrash is a shareware. Send $10 USD check if you decided to keep
the program.

Quit It is a system extension that automatically quits an application when
its last window is closed by the user. This can be very useful when novice
users are working on a computer, who often close a window by clicking on
the close box of a document window, thinking the application is quit. This
can easily lead to confusion, or memory shortage.
Quit It can be fully configured through its control panel, with individual
settings for installed applications.
Version 2.1 fixes a few minor bugs, and adds more configurable control over
what must happen when the last window of an application is closed.

Description:
RAM Charger 8 is a new, major upgrade to OptiMem RAM Charger:
the breakthrough technology that makes a fundamental
improvement in the way Mac applications use memory. It not only
makes a whole lot more of your memory usable, for keeping more
applications and documents open, it also makes your memory more
flexible and reliable. RAM Charger 8 is easier to use, yet offers more
control over how memory is distributed.
A RAM Charged app can open initially into a minimal size block of
memory--then resize automatically--right out to the limits of the
memory in your machine. Cuts down on application-related "Not
Enough Memory" errors and crashes.
If you use virtual memory or RAM Doubler, RAM Charger 8 helps
you get a lot more into your extended memory space, too. Works on
ANY MAC, including Pluses, SEs, Classics, LCs and Power Macs (works
with Modern Memory Manager and System 7.5, too).
This complete copy of RAM Charger operates for two weeks after
installation. Full documentation is included.
Requirement: Any Mac Running System 7 or Mac OS 8

the startup disk first.
Note: The changes are temporary, the original positions will be used
when you restart your Macintosh or if you run an installer that quits
all applications before doing installation.
To place your disk icons as previous Finder did it, just copy the
Applet into the "Startup Items" folder.
To restore the originial disk positions just restart your Mac without

Subject: ResetSerialChannel 1.1
----------------------------------------------------
ResetSerialChannel is FREEWARE - there is no charge and distribution
is encouraged under the condition that nothing about the application
or accompanying documentation be changed.
----------------------------------------------------
ResetSerialChannel is a utility application that will help you
get back on track if, for some reason, the application you are
using to communicate via a serial channel dies, is 'forced-quit'
or otherwise abandons one of your serial channels without it
being closed.
The result is that when you attempt to re-connect, the request fails
because the operating system reports to your application that
the serial channel is already in use.
Of course, this is not so. In some cases, it is required that you
reboot the computer to alleviate this situation. That is, until now.
Launch ResetSerialChannel, select the serial channel you wish
to reset, click on the reset button and the channel is 'closed'.
If an error is encountered, the number of the error is reported
in the messages area.
If the channel was already closed, this is reported to you which
may seem like useless information, but it can be a clue to the
fact that, perhaps, there is something else wrong with your setup
such as a cable connection, power to your modem, etc.
As noted in the instructions, if you were connected via Apple
Remote Access, PPP or some other connection intermediary, you
should tell that software to 'Disconnect'. Do this as you
would normally do when finished with your connection.
Comments and suggestions are always welcome. Please eMail

Subject: Respond! - preemptive multitasking
Respond! is a control panel that brings a limited form of preemptive
multitasking to the Macintosh right now. And it runs on any Mac, 68k or
PowerPC, with System 7.0 or later. No more waiting for MacOS X or
Rhapsody. Even in Mac OS 8, if you hold down a menu in the Finder,
processes will not continue in the background. With Respond!, you can be
holding down a menu (particularly useful with Sticky Menus in Mac OS 8), or
clicking in a the zoom or close boxes (or the WindowShade collapse box in
Mac OS 8), or dragging a window or the thumb of a scroll bar, and processes
will continue in the background.
Respond! includes the option to use Live Window drag. When this option is
turned on, the full window, not just the outline, will be dragged, and both
foreground and background processing will continue, meaning the window
itself will be updated as its being dragged around! For example, you can
drag around an mp3 player window and watch as it continues playing and
updating the time counter while moving.
Version 1.0.1 is exactly the same as version 1.0, but it does not
incorrectly report your registration period being over when it is first
installed. If you are already using version 1.0, there is no reason for
you to download 1.0.1.
This version replaces 1.0 in the cfg folder of the infomac archives.

Subject: System 8-er 1.2
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. Version 1.2 remembers to include the "Register"
application (OOPS!).
Purchase of System 8-er for $5 removes all "$"s, and entitles purchasers
to ALL future updates.
Sincerely,
Mark Fiske
Fake-8 Technologies.

From: ldrake
Subject: ScannerProbePlus 2.0
ScannerProbePlus helps overcome some of the difficulties associated
with the use of Apple(r) Scanners. Applications which perform scanning chores
using scanners, such as those made by Apple Computer(r), rely on a driver
which is installed into the memory of the computer at boot time. Sometimes
this does not happen and, as a result, applications cannot communicate
with the Scanner due to the missing driver. The net result is that you
cannot perform any scanning until the driver is in place and it has
successfully communicated with the Scanner. ScannerProbePlus is only
meant to work with scanners that are connected via a SCSI bus - not USB.

Subject: Screen Catcher D-2.3.4 - German screen capture utility with"Catch-All"
Screen Catcher is a full-featured, scriptable screen capture
application. It is capable of taking snapshots of screen images and
saving them as PICT, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, Photoshop, SGI,
MacPaint, TGA, and QuickTime files. It also allows images to be
captured to the clipboard or to Screen Catcher's own windows, where
they can manipulated to change the color palette or reduce the number
of colors in the image before copying or saving.
Screen Catcher also includes a "Catch-All" mode, which automatically
scrolls the contents of windows to capture an entire document or web
page, even if it's too long to fit on the screen.
Version 2.3.4 includes the following changes:
* Corrected a bug that caused BBEdit 6.1 to crash.
* Added additional scripting options to allow setting of size and
scaling parameters from AppleScript.
Changes in recent releases include:
* Added "send a snapshot" email support for Mulberry.
* Worked around a conflict with Kensington MouseWorks that could
cause buttons and controls in some dialog boxes to disappear.
* Fixed a bug that caused the AutoFile dialog to crash if the
format was previously set to GIF without interlacing.
* If the AutoFile folder is deleted, Screen Catcher will save
snapshots to the Desktop rather than complaining and then not
saving them.
* Screen Catcher can automatically attach pictures to email messages.
Use the "Send Mail" command in Screen Catcher's "File" menu.
* The filename in Save As dialogs is now initially selected without
the filename extension.
* Fixed a conflict with Chronos StickyBrain.
* Fixed a crash in Control Strip when window captures were done.
* Corrected problems in the Screen Catcher Extension which could
cause some applications to open very slowly.
* Eliminated a condition in which Screen Catcher could end up
running without any menus.
Additional information is available at:
Screen Catcher will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or
higher, including Mac OS 9.1, and is $25 shareware.

Price : Shareware ($9)
Send To CM is a contextual menu plug-in that adds a "Send To" menu, which
allows users to "send" any file to folders and applications. The "Send To"
menu may be customized by adding aliases to folders, disk and applications,
or by adding Applescripts that show up in the menu and work like macro
commands. In addition, the "Send To" menu also allows to send files to any
running application.
If the target of a "send" operation is a special folder, such as the System
Folder, Send To CM will honor the Finder's automatic routing by sending
extensions to the Extensions folder, controls to the Control Panels folder
and so on.
Send To CM is the ideal replacement for all those lists of aliases that
clutter the user's desktop.

Subject: SerialControl 0.1
"SerialControl" is application and hardware device to control external
devices using Macintosh through serial port of Macintosh.
It is really hard to interface something to Macintosh unlike old Apple
II or IBM-PC. The slot of AppleII and ISA(or EISA) of IBM-PC(or
compatible) has relatively simple structure and protocol. Currently PCI
bus or direct slot of Macintosh is too complex for personal hobbyist to
interface something like ADC, DAC, digital port. "SerialControl" might
solve this problem somewhat. "SerialControl" is application(including
sources) and hardware device(to make by yourself). It uses serial port
and provides 8 TTL outputs and 8 TTL inputs with current circuit, but
you can easily expand to interface to other device like ADC or DAC.
You require special LSI CY233 from Cybernetic Micro Systems. Actually,
CY233 is powerful LSI for serial-parallel conversion or network.
"SerialControl" just utilizes one of its operation modes. Only demerit
of this LSI is price. The price is $45 each(16$ per 1000) except S/H.
Foreigner may pay more.
This "SerialControl" is absolutely freeware. You can use this circuit,
source, and application for your personal use(absolutely not for
commercial use). If you are going to include in CD, magazine, FTP
server, or web server(except Info-Mac archives and its mirror server),
please let me know.
If you have any questions, advice, comments, or corrections, please let
me know. I'll really appreciate. Here is information about me.

Security options will prevent a power user from inactivating Sesame at

Download shift-key-suite-106.hqx (158,625 KB)
From: Marc Mennigmann
Subject: Shift Key Suite v1.0.6
Iserlohn, Germany -- Aug 25, 2001 -- Marc Mennigmann today announced
the release of the "Shift Key Suite" v1.0.6, a powerful collection of
applications to extend the functionality of password protection systems
for Macintosh computers. v1.0.6 adds compatibility for the MacOS up to
9.2.1
Why Do I Want To Disable The Shift Key?
=======================================
Holding down the Shift key when launching your Macintosh will prevent
all extensions to load at start-up. This is an interesting feature when
you have start-up crashes from incompatible extensions and control-
panels.
However, if your system is running smooth, you may want to protect your
computer with a password protection or a similar application/extension.
Most password protections for the Mac are extensions or controlpanels.
Therefore you can simply bypass them when holding down the Shift key at
start-up.
This is where the "SKS" comes in. It gives you the option to disable the
Shift key only for the start-up time. After your Mac booted, the Shift
key works as it always worked when you worked with your Mac.
The "Shift Key Suite" is US$5 shareware. It is available from Marc
Mennigmann's web site http://www.mennigmann.com and all major Macintosh
shareware archives and ftp sites. The "Shift Key Suite" is free for all
registered users of the Macintosh password protection THE BLOCK.
System Requirements: Any Apple Macintosh or clone running MacOS System
7.0 or later.
What's New?
===========
v1.0.6 adds compatibility for the MacOS 9.2 and 9.2.1. All systems since
MacOS 7.0 are supported now.

These 2 very simple scripts were written by me for use on a launcher

than compiled scripts. They were designed very simply to either open or
close a FreePPP connection. They do nothing fancy, but they served my
purposes. So I decided to share them with anyone who might find them at
all useful.
In order to use these scripts, you must have the following installed:
1. Applescript -part of the MacOS since system 7.5
2. FreePPP 2.6 (version 2.6.2 available at the time these were made) and
available from
3. FreePPP control scripting addition version 1.1 available in the

Subject: SkipPrint 1.0.2e
SkipPrint is a control panel which enables double-sided printing.
It helps you save paper and save trees. This would be a small but
positive ecological step in the right direction. If your printer does
not have such a function, install this control panel and try it.
You can print the odd-numbered pages first by using this control
panel. Then you turn all printed pages over and set them to a printer
again for yourself. You can print the even-numbered pages second.
It is only two times that you choose "Print..." from File menu.
Consequently you can get paper which have odd-numbered pages on one
side and even-numbered pages on another.
Two times printing with skipping every other page makes double-sided
printing. The name of SkipPrint is derived from it.
New in this version:
Canon printer combined with particular Pixela printer driver no
longer draws skipped pages directly on the monitor screen.
SkipPrint is shareware. It works on System 7 or later.
For more information, please read the Read Me file enclosed.

Subject: Sleeper DK-3.5 - Danish energy saving utility
Sleeper is a control panel that spins down the hard disk, dims the
screen, and powers off Energy Star compliant monitors on any
Macintosh. Users simply select desired sleep times in the control
panel and Sleeper takes care of the rest. Preferences can also be
set to have Sleeper password-protect, sleep, or shut down a Mac after
a period of inactivity, and a hotkey can be used to put the Macintosh
to sleep on demand.
Sleeper delivers a host of energy-saving features that work on nearly
every Macintosh, from the Mac Plus to the latest iMacs, PowerBooks,
and G4 PowerMacs. Sleeper provides more options, greater control,
and broader hardware compatibility than Apple's Energy Saver control
panel. This gives older Macs many of the energy saving features of
Apple's newer hardware, and provides newer Macintoshes with more
extensive, flexible, and reliable power management.
What's New
----------
Version 3.5 delivers a host of new features and fixes, including the
ability to save multiple setting configurations, improved reliability
on G4 PowerMacs, powering down of LCD screens, and options to control
processor cycling. Highlights include:
- Sleeper now saves multiple configuration settings and will
automatically switch between configurations when running a
PowerBook from battery or ac adapter. Configurations can also
be changed manually from the Control Strip.
- Controls have been added to allow entry of any desired delay
(1-999 minutes) for the screen saver, disk sleep, password
activation, monitor power-down, sleep, and shutdown.
- Sleeper now supports desktop LCD displays, such as the Apple
Studio and Apple Cinema displays.
- There are new options to control processor cycling.
- Sleeper now unmounts servers before going to sleep, avoiding
Mac OS 9's warning about "losing network services" if the
computer is put to sleep.
Sleeper will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher,
including Mac OS 9.2.1, and is accelerated for PowerPC. It is
distributed as shareware, requiring a $25 registration fee for use
beyond a free 30 day trial period.--

SoundThemeChanger is an application which allows you to change Sound
Sets used in MacOS 8.5. Besides the ability to change Sound Sets you
can also record your own sounds for use in the soundset (max 10 sec.).
The registered version even lets you extract sounds from files, if
these sounds are stored in the snd resource. For example it is
possible to extract sounds from different sound sets and to create
your own sound set with it.
Because it is very hard to get all sound resources documented,
SoundThemeChangers has a section with undefined resources, these are
sounds in the theme file which don't have a name or category assigned
yet. However SoundThemeChanger has the unique capability to add sound
resources, all you have to do is give a unique resource number (the
resource number has to be used by the system otherwise it will never
be played) name and assign it to a category.

software on your computer more useful. When Apple developed Speech Recognition,
they created a software package with a lot of potential. The only thing it
lacked was commands. Speech Recognition as Apple distributes it does not include
very many commands. The commands that they do include are very crude and were
designed just to show the potential of the software. They are not very useful to
the average user. SpeechFX is a continuing project to create much needed commands

The Splat Pack Installer for Macintosh is an AppleScript utility that
automatically extracts the files needed from the Carmageddon 'Splat
Pack' CD and installs the files along with a copy of Carmageddon to make
the Carmageddon 'Splat Pack' add-on playable on the Macintosh.
Installation of the Splat Pack will require about 350-400MB of free
space on a 1GB hard drive without HFS+. Drives larger than 1GB may need
free space.
Please note that you can not install the Carmageddon 'Splat Pack' add-on
without the original Carmageddon CD.
This utility has only been tested with AppleScript for MacOS 8.

Subject: Squealer
Does your Mac make a squealing sound during startup? If you have a
Performa or Power Macintosh 52xx/53xx/62xx/63xx series computer running
Mac OS 8.1, this squealing occurs when the system volume is set to an
even numbered value (2, 4, or 6).
"Squealer" is an AppleScript applet which automatically sets your volume
to an odd number (3) to avoid the problem. Simply put "Squealer" into
your Shutdown Items folder (which is inside your System Folder) and
you'll never have to suffer through that annoying squeal again.
"Squealer" is freeware.

beroende på hur din startskiva klarar skivan och på hur många tillägg och

Vid första start läser det i vilka tillägg som finns och du ser ingen

Subject: StartOnce1.2
Introducing StartOnce version 1.2 .
(Shareware 10$US or 5 pounds UK.)
StartOnce helps you to control your Startup Items.
When you start your Mac for the first time on any day, StartOnce
will launch any items found in the "StartOnce Items" folder. On
subsequent restarts, these items will be skipped.
Installation is easy as StartOnce will create the "StartOnce Items"
folder for you the first time it is run. All you have to do is to
decide which items you want launched once a day and place aliases to
them in this folder. Put an alias to StartOnce in your "Startup Items"
folder and you are ready to rock-and-roll.
Use it whenever you want to do something only once a day. I use
StartOnce on my Mac, in combination with Roland Gustafsson's
free (ThankYouWare) 'SimpleBackup' utility to make a copy of my
most important files at the start of work each day. If I should
happen to corrupt one of these files, I know that I can always
revert to the backup copy.
This new version updates the documentation with my new email address
and
web site:-

Download start-screen-up-10-jp.hqx (10,188 KB)
From: ChrisLi@bridge1.com
Subject: StartScreenUp 1.0J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the StartScreenUp package.
The StartScreenUp1.0 extension is a little INIT to reload the
StartupScreen. This extension has been written to get rid of the password
dialogbox of "DiskGuard" or "FileGuard" by Highware cross over the
StartupScreen after the password has been entered.
All MacintoshOS based computers are able to show a StartupScreen during the
whole startup process. To create a StartupScreen you need a picture which
must be saved in a "PICT" Resource with ID 0 (use JPEGView, Grafikconverter,
PhotoShop, ClarisWorks, etc. ), and must be located in the systemfolder and
named "StartupScreen". Normally the Mac will show only one StartupScreen.
With StartScreenUp1.0 you can even view a second picture!
StartScreenUp1.0 patches no traps and after the boot process it uninstalls
itself so nothing remains in your system which could slow it down. Also no
compatibility problem should occur.
StartScreenUp1.0 is released free to let you know about CopyPaste, the
productivity tool for your Mac, downloadable from http://www.bridge1.com.
CopyPaste gives you ten clipboards instead of just one! 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! Type the usual keyboard command for copy or cut
and then any number between 1 and 9 before releasing the command key. Paste
works in the same way. In addition to the normal clipboard you now have
nine more.

Startup Doubler can make your Mac startup faster, closer to the maximum

streamlines loading of Extensions, Control Panels, Startup Items and the
Finder to improve startup times.
Startup Doubler is most useful for pre-G4 Macs, where startup can be made
10% to 50% faster. Fast disks in new high-end Macs can't be accelerated
much, but depending on the details of your setup Startup Doubler may
still bring some improvement.
Version 2.7.2 fixes a Virtual Memory related startup freeze that affected
some Mac OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 systems.
Startup Doubler runs on Mac OS 7.0 through 9.2.2. You may download and
try Startup Doubler for 15 days, at no charge. If you decide to keep it,
please register your copy. A single license costs $20, site licenses are
also available. Upgrades are free to registered users.

Dramatically improve your technical support!
Attention developers and publishers.
Think about how expensive it is to support a product:
* Long distance phone charges.
* Staff salaries.
* Equipment and training.
* Programmers trying to track down bugs that don't really exist.
* Programmers trying to track down real bugs, but with little accurate
information to go on.
Technical Snapshot is a tool designed specifically to improve technical
support. It provides a complete list of extensions, damaged files, as well
as system and hardware information.
This isn't some ugly hack thrown together in a crude interface. No!
Technical Snapshot has a beautiful, modeless interface that you'll be proud
to include with your product.
And it's cheap too! You can license as few or as many copies as you'd like,
and you can deliver Technical Snapshot to your customers in any manner you
choose.
Please download this application.
You won't believe it until you try it!

Subject: Revised Submission
This is version 0.3 of TempCleaner. It now sports Balloon Help in the
finder and a better Icon. Following is a suggested blurb:
Before MacOS 9, the Temporary Items Folder was a visible folder in
the System Folder and users could just throw accumulated cruft in the
Trash. With OS 9, Apple hid the Temporary Items folder so well that
not even Sherlock can find it. This is further explained in Article
#25134 from Apple's Technical Information Library.
The solution - Apple says they will fix the problem and I'm sure they
will. Until then, they recommend an AppleScript that doesn't actually
work. TempCleaner does work by searching the Temporary Items Folder
at startup and, if there is anything there, moving it to a 'From
Temporary Items' folder in the Trash. Actually, it won't move more
than 20 at a time but I wanted it to be fast enough that you wouldn't
notice it.

Subject: TextE@se
Here is the latest version of TextE@se, the At Ease-like HyperCard stack
made by Gammasoft Incorporated, the not-really-a-software-company owned by
12-year-olds!
Instructions for TextE@se
TextE@se is a HyperCard stack. It functions similar to At Ease, but it
doesn't harm anything with boot blocks or extensions or "make sure it is
turned off before deleting it" lines.
To "turn it on," simply drag an alias of it into the startup items folder.
To "turn it off," simply drag the alias out of the startup items folder. If
you delete it without "turning it off," it won't harm anything like At Ease
would do. It would simply say "The alias could not be opened because the
original item could not be found." No bombs, sad Macs, blinking question
marks, boot block modification, or anything out of the ordinary.
Requirements:
* HyperCard 2.0 or later (or Player)
* AppleScript is needed for working with some files and using the Eject
Disk, Restart, and Shut Down functions.
Setup:
* After de-BinHexing and unstuffing the file, open up the TextE@se folder.
* Open up the SupportFiles folder, and move the FILEBROWSER font into the
Fonts folder.
* Close the SupportFiles folder.
* Open up the Matrixes folder, then one of the folders within the Matrixes
folder. The folder you open depends on if you want the Minimal, Normal, or
Extended file type lists.
* Drag the "TextE@se Filetype Matrix" file to the folder where HyperCard
(or HyperCard Player) is listed. If you have a new computer, HyperCard
Player should be in Apple Extras.
* Close the Matrixes folders.
* Double-click TextE@se. You're ready to go!
About the Filetype Matrix
The file titled "TextE@se Filetype Matrix" contains file type
definitions. The very first character in the file is called the "Unknown
Document Icon Character." It is the character in the FILEBROWSER font that
corresponds to the icon of a general document file. Everything except that
first character that is still on the first line is ignored.
Starting with line 2, we have the file type definitions. There are
four items on each line, which are seperated by commas. The first item is
the title. This is plain English, like Application and Desk Accessory and
Kaleidoscope Scheme. The second item is the file type. File types are four
characters that are used to identify files. Examples are APPL, dfil, and
Colr.
The third is that icon character thing again. It is the character
in the FILEBROWSER font that corresponds with the icon used with that type
of file. The fourth and final item is the application that is used to open
that type of file. If the file is not opened with a particular application,
then this item is either Executable or GeneralOpen. Executable should only
be used for file type definitions with a file type of APPL. GeneralOpen is
used for files that are handled by the system when you open them.
HyperCard's command for opening files is "open 'document' with
'application,'" so you can only open files with an application. If you use
Executable, it will use the syntax "open 'application,'" but that is only
used for opening application programs. This means you can't open fonts or
control panels, or something like that, because those are opened by the
system, and the system is not an application. You can try "open 'font or
control panel' with 'Finder,'" but I'm not sure that will work. These files
CAN be opened with GeneralOpen, since GeneralOpen is an AppleScript program
that will open ANY file, just like if it was double-clicked in the Finder.
So if you use GeneralOpen, the system opens it!
The beautiful thing about this is you can bypass the default
program used for opening files. For example, if you open a keyboard layout
with the system (or by double-clicking it), you get a message that tells
you what a keyboard layout is. That's not much help for finding out what's
in the file. But with the Filetype Matrix, you can open it up with ResEdit
(or a different program) instead, and you can actually open the file!
Keyboard layouts are already set up to open with ResEdit.

Subject: THE BLOCK v2.1 - Macintosh Password Protection System
What is THE BLOCK?
++++++++++++++++++
THE BLOCK is a powerful password protection system for Macintosh computers.
Unlike other password protection systems, it will not accept real
passwords. To log in to a computer protected by THE BLOCK you need to go
through a two-step process. First you need to type a Password Key, which is
a key combination similar to the Finder's Copy or Paste shortcuts
[command+c] or [command+v]. The second step is to click with the mouse on
the shutdown button on the on-screen dialog or, depending on the
preferences you set, to press the "esc" key on your keyboard.
A big part of THE BLOCK's security comes from the illusion that a real
password is needed. If intruders are not aware of how THE BLOCK works, they
will always choose the wrong approach. If they are aware, THE BLOCK will
still be as protective as every other password system because there are
many possible Password Keys and there is an option to disable the shift key
at startup. A Password Key can consist of any of the four modifiers
(command, alt, control or shift) and another key on your keyboard,
including the cursor keys, the F-keys and the page navigation keys.
THE BLOCK is US$10 shareware. It is available from Marc Mennigmann's web
site and all major Macintosh shareware archives and ftp sites. Version 2.1
is a free upgrade to registered users of any earlier version.
System Requirements: Any Apple Macintosh or clone with at least a 68020 CPU
running MacOS System 7.1 or later.
Features
++++++++
* Powerful password protection without a real password.
* Disabling of the shift key at startup for 68k and PPC machines.
* Activity log to keep track of the time and date of startups, failed
login attempts and changes to the preferences.
* Sound alerts when a user tries to log in with a wrong password.
* An energy saver option can shut down the computer after two minutes
of inactivity.
* Application-wide balloon help support.
* Appearance Manager savvy.
* Support of Apple's Navigation services.
What is new in THE BLOCK 2.1?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE BLOCK 2.1 is a bugfix for version 2.0 to provide compatibility with the
new Macintosh operating system 8.5.

"The Dailies" create the possibility of having Startup Items and
Shutdown Items that are launched only once every day - no matter how
often you may need to restart.
Use:
Throw the "Daily Startup" application in your "Startup Items" folder.
The first time it's run it will create a "Daily Startup Items" folder
in your System Folder. Whatever you put in that folder will be launched
no more than once a day.
Throw the "Daily Shutdown" application in your "Shutdown Items" folder.
The first time it's run it will create a "Daily Shutdown Items" folder
in your System Folder. Whatever you put in that folder will be launched
no more than once a day.
System Requirements:
- AppleScript needs to be installed
- Works under Mac OS 7.5 through 9.1
History:
- 1.0.6 Fixed a bug where sometimes DailyStartup would stupidly inform
you that the folder "Daily Startup Items" already exists.
- 1.0.5 - Now also works correctly under non-US systems (more
specifically: if your Date & Time settings are non-US).
- 1.0.4 - First public release

The MacLocksmith is an useful application to save your files from
indiscreet eyes. It protects your files/folders quickly by using a very
strong encryption method and a password. The MacLocksmith supplies also a
second, soft and fast, protection system. You may use it in situations of
already good security level.
The MacLocksmith allows you to create Cryptet. Cryptets are stand-alone
auto-decrypting applications containing one encrypted or protected file. A
Cryptet may decrypt the contained file or simply save it on disks.
Distribution of encrypted files is no longer a problem, now. You may create
FAT, PPC or 68k applications and choose a text file that will be used, by
created Cryptet, as custom About box.
The MacLocksmith can make also other actions:
- it locks/unlocks disks by software flag,
- sets/unsets lock bit of files,
- locks/unlocks names,
- shows/hides files and folders.
You may configure all actions of above through preferences, you may also
set the preferences on the fly, before work, simply holding down option key.
Other preferences options:
- don't encrypt invisibles,
- ignore system resources,
- only folder's contents, ignore the folder itself,
- scan disks.
The MacLocksmith is Internet Config, Drag Manager and Navigation Manager
aware, moreover it's Appearance savvy.
It requires at least System 7 to run.
What's new in 2.4.0 version
Unique password option. Only folder contents option. Don't encrypt
invisible option. Ignore System Resources option. Windows position saving.
Some graphic change. Better support of Appearance in menus. Better check
for low application memory. Scan disk disables encryption and vice-versa.
Improved Internet menu. More well-defined error messages. Navigation
Manager aware. Recompiled by using the newest compiler. Addresses update.
Removed registration form from About Box. Added Registrations folder. Added
Support folder. Removed custom font. Code optimized for better
performances. All code revisited.

Icon, Small Icon, or List, and sorted by Name, Modification Date, Size,
Kind, or now with this version, Label.
To use, just drag a folder or disk onto one of the droplets. It will
recursively set all folders within the folder or disk you select to the
same setting. It will also set the window to the upper left of the
screen, and use the minimum amount of screen space to show every item in
the window, assuming there aren't too many items.

Tidy It Up ! attempts to solve the ever growing problem of System Folder
clutter.
This version includes settings for System 7.6 !
It does so in a "cosmetic" way, i.e. by regrouping the icons according
to a set of categories. The program is very safe to use, since it
doesn't patch anything and ultimately accomplishes automatically and
painlessly what you could very well do manually if you are willing to
spend the required time and effort.
Files are sorted alphabetically by name in each category. A file's
category is determined by its Type, Creator and name. Tidy It Up !
creates one file per category, just to act as a label for it on the left
hand side of the window. Each category name is preceded by a special

TimeRunner version 0.5
======================
Brief Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TimeRunner is a very small INIT extension which gives you the ability to
tell your Mac to automatically launch applications at predetermined times.
You will need at least System 7.1 to use TimeRunner. It should work with
all system versions up to Mac OS 9.x.
I literally threw this together in a couple of hours to get a job done
that I needed - it's not pretty, nor incredibly user-friendly, but it's
simple, and I thought somebody else might find it useful...
Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Drag the TimeRunner extension onto the icon of your System Folder. You
will be asked if you want to place it into the Extensions folder, which is
where this extension should go! (Alternatively, you can of course drag it
into the Extensions folder yourself.) Once it is in place you should
restart your Mac to allow the extensions to load as the system starts up.
Once Finder has started you should see a warning message appearing which
tells you that there is no "TimeRun Items" folder in your System Folder.
If you open up your System Folder and create a new folder with the name
"TimeRun Items", then you can place applications to launch (or better,
aliases to applications) into this folder.

From: davej@working.com
Subject: New Toner Tuner Demo
Enclosed is the Toner Tuner Demo. Please check our web page at
http://www.working.com to see if this is the latest version.
Toner Tuner, one of the Working Software Printing Utilities, allows you
to save toner or ink when making draft prints. It works by printing
drafts in light gray. It works best with PostScript printers but also
works with most QuickDraw printers.
This demo works just like Tuner Tuner, but it prints obnoxious
information in the center of each "Toner-Tuned" page :-) :-). This only
happens when you turn Toner Tuner on in the Print dialog - it won't
affect your regular printouts.
To try out the demo, drag the Toner Tuner onto your System Folder, then
restart your Macintosh.
After restarting, print a document from one of your applications. Toner
Tuner adds some items to the print dialog. Use the slider bar to adjust
the print darkness, and check the "Use TT" checkbox to turn it on for
this print. The slider bar setting is remembered between prints.
Shortcut: hold the Option key when you press Return, or click Print, to
turn Toner Tuner on.
Secret Stuff for Advanced Users: Use ResEdit to edit the "TTPf"
resource in Toner Tuner to set the "Use TT" checkbox default to on. The
installer for the real product allows this as an option.
* Printer Compatibility
Toner Tuner works with most printers, but some printers will not respond
to Toner Tuner's command to lighten their printouts.
HP DeskWriter owners must use version 2.2 of the DeskWriter driver
software on black and white DeskWriters. Later versions of the black
and white DeskWriter, and all versions of the color DeskWriter do not
dim their printouts.

Total Desktop Rebuild is a free system extension that allows
you to completely erase all your desktop files so that they are
rebuilt from scratch when the startup process is over. To delete
all the desktop files on all available disks, simply hold down
the Command and Option keys while Total Desktop Rebuild is
loading. A small red flash is then added to the startup icon,
and Total Desktop Rebuild attempts to do its job.
Warning: Total Desktop Rebuild will completely delete all your
file comments. If you wish to preserve them, use Kelvin
Delbarre's Commentator utility or the Finder's built-in desktop
rebuild capabilities instead (by holding down Command and Option
at the end of the startup process, while the Finder is loading).
Commentator is available on all info-mac mirrors, and it lets
you save your file comments before you rebuild the desktop and
restore them later.
Yes, I know there are dozens of other utilities that do the
same thing (for example, check out AutoBuild by Rene G.A. Ros if
you want to automatically rebuild your desktop every once in a
while). But I needed to rebuild my desktops from scratch, and I
had to use an extension, and of course I couldn't find the one I
used to play with. So I cooked up my own in ten minutes, and
since I'm passing it to you for free you shouldn't be
complaining in the first place...
New in version 1.1:
- Now attempts to mount all available disks before deleting
the desktop files.

TrashCleaner is a Contextual Menu Plug-in for Macintosh PowerPC under System 8.
When you select the trash with the control key down, TrashCleaner proposes you menus:
* to create in the trash a folder for each disk and arranges the files accordingly.
* to empty the trash *only* for the disk chosen.
This new version 2, more powerful, includes an installer, dialog preferences for the opening of trash and for the
management of network disks, progress dialogs like-Finder, etc.
TrashCleaner works now in collaboration with the system and the finder instead of directly manipulating files and folders.
All tidying and cleaning routines are optimized and can now run in background.

(c)2002, Eric Roller, tredje design
TrashLater enables automatic trash collection for files that you
want to delete (later). Instead of putting files into the trash,
you could put them into a special folder - just in case you might
need them again later. Then instruct TrashLater to trash any
items that have been there for, say, a week or a month.
Usage examples:
- Clear out your download folder on a regular basis.
- Delete backup files that are older than a year.
- Clear your browser cache every day.
New in version 2.3:
- File statistics viewable in the setup application.
- Progress bar in the client.
- Installer.

forever--Macs are like that. :-)
(This is not the same item as the other TrashMan in the archive, BTW.)
The readme says "Place the 'TrashMan Emptier' on your desktop near
your hard disk icons. Drop the 'TrashMan Controls' and 'TrashMan
Engine' into your System Folder. Open the 'TrashMan Controls'
control panel, and choose your settings. Restart your machine.
Files will now be deleted from your trash after they are older than

What is TrashMan?
TrashMan is a control panel that will automatically empty your WasteBasket
without you having to go to the Special menu and select Empty Wastebasket.
How do I use Trashman?
Simply drag Trashman to your System Folder, the System should place the

TrashMan once installed can be turned on and off without restarting your
machine. Trashman is initially off with a delay between emptying the trash of
10 seconds.
To increase the delay between emptying the trash open up the Trashman control
panel and type in the number of seconds you want the delay to be. You will
note that the delay cannot be set to less than 10 seconds. From the open
control panel you can also turn TrashMan on and off.

Announcing the release of the Mac only utility TypeSaver
File name......: TypeSaver
Date of release: 8/8/2000
Have you ever crashed after typing for an hour and forgot to save your
work? Well, I have! I was tired of losing my work and forgetting to
save periodically, so, I created TypeSaver. It's a very simple program.
Just drop TypeSaver into the Control Panels folder and restart. Now,
every key you press (you can define which keys to save or ignore) will be
saved to a file after a specified number of keystrokes (from 10 to 1000).
This is an excellent way to make sure you won't lose any typing because
of a crash or an easy way to keep track of what other people are doing on
your computer when you're not around! The folder that contains the
file(s) that the keystrokes are saved to can be hidden and this control
panel can be locked and password protected if you wish.
Another handy feature of TypeSaver is the ability to auto-save documents
in any application after a specified number of keystrokes or mouse clicks.

A POWERFUL UNIVERSAL DRIVER FOR ALL USB MICE AND JOYSTICKS
The USB Overdrive is a universal USB driver that handles all USB
mice, trackballs, joysticks and gamepads from any manufacturer
and lets you configure them either globally or on an
application-specific basis. It reads all kinds of wheels,
buttons, switches and controls and supports scrolling, keyboard
emulation, launching and complex macros as well as all the usual
stuff like clicking, control-clicking and so forth. The USB
Overdrive can easily handle several USB devices at once- I have
two mice, one trackball, two joysticks and one gamepad connected
to the same iMac, and each of them comes from a different
manufacturer.
Because each control in each device can be fully configured, the
USB Overdrive lets you use any joystick or gamepad with any
game, including the ones that don't support Apple's
InputSprockets. You can map your joystick movements and buttons
to the keyboard and mouse to make the game believe you're
playing on the keyboard, and you can do this mapping separately
for each game so that it's immediately available as soon as the
game is launched.
For games that already use InputSprockets, the USB Overdrive
quietly gives control to the device-specific configuration
panels provided by the manufacturer, or to the generic ones
provided by Apple with Mac OS 9 or the latest Game Sprockets.
The mouse settings allow you to speed up your daily tasks by
assigning useful actions to all the extra buttons and wheels in
your USB mouse. You'll typically want to assign a control-click
to the right button for easy contextual menu acces, and enable
document scrolling if your mouse has a scrolling wheel.
The Control Panel includes an active help feature that explains
each command and option as you move the cursor around.

URL: http://www.syndrome3d.com/dev/
This KEXT (kernel extension) for MacOS 10.2 fixes problems with the
handling of sound on the Apple G4 cube when the external USB speakers
are not connected (since the Cube does not have a built in sound device).
The extension runs under MacOS 10.2.x, and will create a virtual output
audio device and engine which can be selected in the sound control panel.
This extension will run on any model of hardware, and may prove useful
for any model without a built in sound device.
VirtualSpeaker should fix the issues related to the lack of a sound
output device which have been noted in iMovie, DVD Studio Pro, and
other applications (including video capture errors, automatic quit
when launching some games and applications which require an audio
output device, crashes when previewing DVD projects, and other
random misfortunes).
This 1.2.1 version corrects an issue with VirtualSpeaker that was
preventing the fix from working for games (and applications) which
use the Carbon SoundManager (the fIsMixable bit was set incorrectly
for the 16 bit virtual audio format).

You can activate any window, even it's hidden by several other windows,
or if the process is hidden. Finder windows display their content in
submenus up to 5 levels.
But that's not all : Wapp pro is more than a simple windows switcher. It
lets you quit, or hide any application, quit all the applications, or
hide them all. You can also exclude some applications from being quitted
or hidden by these commands, like for example SpeedDoubler that you
don't want to quit, or QuickTime player that you don't want to hide...
Wapp pro lets you also navigate through the windows of the front process
by keyboard shortcuts. You can exchange the 2 frontmost windows, send
the frontmost window to the back, or bring the last window to the front.
It also lets you cycle through the applications list.
Wapp pro enhances the Navigation Services dialogs. It brings the Click
There It Is concept to the Navigation Services open/save dialogs.
Clicking with some modifier keys in a Finder window will display its
content in the open/save dialog. If a Finder window is hidden you can
also use the menu Wapp pro adds when a Navigation Services open/save
dialog is front.
Minimum requirements :
Mac OS 8.5 and PPC
Price : $10
New to this version (2.5):
Wapp pro failed to load at startup if its preferences were corrupted or

Subject: Window Monkey 1.3.1J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the Window Monkey package.
Choose patterned backgrounds for Macintosh Finder windows. You even get a
handy way to navigate through windows and folders, so it's useful, too.
MacAddict magazine rates Window Monkey among the top 20 Mac shareware
programs, CNET calls the software "too cool," and MacWorld magazine chose it
as a Pick of the Week. For Mac OS.
Window Monkey adds background pictures or textures to any window in the
Finder -- it's like "Desktop Patterns" or "Desktop Pictures", but for folder
window backgrounds instead of the desktop.
You can color-code your windows to see at a glance what they contain, or use
wild patterns just for fun. Give your folder of "work stuff" a background
that looks like a legal pad, or choose a background of hearts for that ZIP
disk full of love letters.
This program also helps you better manage your windows in every application
(not just the Finder): You can use the handy Window Monkey menu to quickly
go to any window in any application, even if it's buried beneath many other
windows. Window Monkey also remembers recently used folders and lets you
instantly jump to any open or recently used folder from an Open or Save
dialog box.
Many background patterns are included, and you can add as many as you wish by
simply pasting or dragging your own pictures into the control panel.

This is the English version of Window Monkey 1.3.1.
Window Monkey adds background pictures or textures to any window in the
Finder -- it's like "Desktop Patterns" or "Desktop Pictures", but for
folder window backgrounds instead of the desktop.
You can color-code your windows to see at a glance what they contain, or
use wild patterns just for fun. Give your folder of "work stuff" a
background that looks like a legal pad, or choose a background of hearts
for that Zip disk full of love letters.
This program also helps you better manage your windows in every
application (not just the Finder): You can use the handy Window Monkey
menu to quickly go to any window in any application, even if it's buried
beneath many other windows. Window Monkey also remembers recently used
folders and lets you instantly jump to any open or recently used folder
from an Open or Save dialog box.
Over 60 background patterns are included, and you can add as many as you
wish by simply pasting or dragging your own pictures into the control
panel.
Version 1.3.1:
- works around a problem in Mac OS 9.1 that caused a conflict with
PopChar
- fixes a conflict with recent versions of GraphicConverter
- the "background Finder window click" feature can now be turned off
or assigned a key combination
- more than a dozen new patterns are included
Window Monkey is compatible with System 7, Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9
(including 9.1).
$19.95 shareware. A Japanese version is also available.

MacOS 7.6.1 facelift.
People still using MacOS 7.6.1. It's fast enough, eat half of Mac OS 8
system memory, - just two reasons.
Many modern applications require Appearance Manager (built-in in MacOS
8.x) and it's possible to install Appearance extension 1.0.3 from Apple
SDK in 7.6.1 System Folder - so these programs can run. Some of them
still can't. When starts these applications check not availability of AM
but system version number (in Apple terminology "gestalt 'sysv' ").
Xameleon just change this gestalt to most recent 8.5.0.
More details in Read Me.

Y-Not is a simple extension that, when activated, inverts the Y axis (up
and down) mouse movement. The main reason for this program is to correct
the mouse movement for games like Marathon which lack an option for
'airplane' style mouse controls.
