Raul's OS8 Toolkit 2.02 is a collection of Resedit hacks for OS 8.
Version 2.02 fixes several minor glitches and includes a few tweaks.
There are now no known problems. It also corrects an ommission of one of
the resources in 2.01.

It includes:

1. Patches to add several command keys to the Finder.
cmd-S - Sharing
cmd-B - Clear
cmd-[ - View as Icon
cmd-] - View as List
cmd-J - Preferences
cmd-K - View Options
cmd-U - Clean Up
cmd-T - Empty Trash
cmd-- Restart
cmd-* Shutdown

2. A patch for the Appearance Manager so that folders are grey instead of
purple tinged. This allows you to color folders with labels.

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.
