Subject: Alias Arranger 1.1
Alias Arranger provides a quick, simple way to create aliases to files in
folders you often use, such as the Apple Menu or on the desktop. Several
preset favourite folders are supplied, to which you can add your own.
Simply drag a file onto Alias Arranger, choose a location for the alias,
and the alias is created there without your having to mess about with
Finder windows. You can also name an alias while creating it and choose a
generic suffix for all aliases created using Alias Arranger.
As well as a few minor fixes, version 1.1 allows you to quickly search a
folder or disk for unattached alias files, which you can then assign to
new targets or delete.

From: yellowsoft@kagi.com
Subject: AliasCrony 2.2.0; 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 and Navigation Manager aware, Appearance
Savvy and requires at least System Seven to run.

Subject: ASCII Converter
ASCII converter - is a simple "drag and drop" application that converts text files from Windows to Macintosh. MacOS and Windows use two different ASCII tables (a way to represent the characters) so when you open a Windows text file with a Mac application all the characters like: è,à,é,ù,ì,ò etc. are misinterpreted. ASCII converter fixs this drawback and enable you to correctly read the text file. To convert a file, drag it over the ASCII converter icon until highlighted and release the mouse button. ASCII converter will create a new text file in the same directory of the original file.

From: peter@stairways.com.au (Peter N Lewis)
Subject: Assimilator 1.1
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 might also be
useful in other circumstances, such as for setting up newly purchased
Macs or in testing or demo labs.
Changes since 1.1 include:
* Open Transport IP address, and PCI ethernet address compatibility. *
You can set a folder to be downloaded only if the destination folder is
missing. * Interoperability with MacPrefect and MacAdministrator. *
Various bug fixes and enhancements.
Assimilator requires System 7 and a harddisk and is $10 shareware.
Version 1.1 is a free upgrade to registered users who registered after 1
Jan 1996. Users who registered prior to 1996 can upgrade and receive a
50% discount.
Enjoy,

Subject: AtariVD Editor 1.3
AtariVD Editor allows you to create and edit virtual disks for Atari 8-bit
computers (400, 800, 1200XL, 600XL, 800XL, 65XE, & 130XE models) on the
Macintosh. The virtual disks can be used with Rainbow, Chris Lam's Atari
800/800XL/130XE emulator for the Mac, or with any other Atari 8-bit emulators.
AtariVD Editor recognizes 8-bit virtual disk files in these formats:
.ATR: Nick Kennedy's SIO ATR file format with a 16-byte header at the
beginning of the file.
.ATD: AtariDisk format. These files begin with a 16-byte Macintosh header.
.RBW/Raw disk images: No header data. These files contain only the disk
sectors themselves.
AtariVD Editor is capable of reading, writing, and creating virtual disks in
both Atari DOS 2.0/2.5 and MyDOS 4.5 formats. In MyDOS format, you can create
virtual disks from 720 to 65,535 sectors of either 128 or 256 bytes! (90K to 16MB)
A simple text conversion feature with built in ATASCII <-> Macintosh text
conversion is also provided.
Changes in version 1.3, 11/7/1999
---------------------------------
* Fixed an Atari DOS 2.x file flag-byte bug (caused an error-144 when
attempting to read from Atari DOS).
* Fixed DOS 2.5 enhanced density free sector calculation. (really!)
* Fixed updating of byte edit box when the sector number is changed with the
file list selected.
* Internal enhancements: better memory handling, some routines rewritten to be
more compact and efficient, several redundant code blocks replaced with
subroutine calls.
* Improved Atari <-> Mac file name conversion.
* The "Save Sector" button is now enabled and disabled as appropriate.
* When clicking on a list (file/hexadecimal/ASCII) to activate it, the current
selection is now preserved.
* Byte selection between the hexadecimal and ASCII sector data lists has been synchronized.
* Major dialog boxes have been converted to movable modal dialogs.
* Two arrow controls have been added to the sector editor, allowing easy
sequential sector navigation.
* A new preferences dialog lets users choose how boot data is stored, and
whether to use Rainbow type/creator codes.
* When adding or erasing a bootable DOS file on Atari DOS 2.x disks, the boot
sector data is no longer overwritten.
* The free sector indicator in virtual disk windows now shows the total usable
sectors and free space in KB.
* The file/directory list header now displays the total number of items in the
current directory.
* Multiple items can now be selected in the file/directory list.
* Files with creator/type codes of "A8VD/TEXT" can now be imported into
virtual disks from the Finder.
* Drag and Drop support added.
* Many additional small UI changes/improvements to menus, dialogs, and the
disk windows.
AtariVD Editor 1.3 is freeware. Requires System 7.5 or later.

Subject: AutoCheck 2.4.2
Automates Apple's Disk First Aid (a free program distributed with the Mac
OS) to check all disks at once, except remote and read-only volumes and any
you exclude. A complete run through a typical configuration takes less than
five minutes.
The importance of something like AutoCheck, maybe placed in the Mac's
Startup Items folder, is that most users run Disk First Aid or a similar
utility only when experiencing problems. But a lot of disk damage is
incremental, and early detection and repair can be crucial to safeguarding
data.
By itself, Disk First Aid takes several steps to run. AutoCheck automates
the entire process, with several convenient options. It stops and posts a
dialog only if a disk error is found. Otherwise, it runs and then quits
Disk First Aid and itself by the time you've gotten a cup of coffee, and
your Mac has a clean bill of health.

AutoRename 1.0
What is this?
This is a simple utility to rename full folders in one click. It
allows you to create a Base name to each file and then apply a number
after the base name. It works great for preping image files for the
web, or htmls for a website. Many uses can be gained. Stay tuned for
the latest updates.
Please use this utility with caution, as for there is no "undo" for
this utility. Once you have renamed a folders contents, it is not
undoable, sorry. Later versions will include: undo's, ability to add
just file extentions, plug-ins and much more. If you have any
suggestions for me please contact me: alphamix@hotmail.com I would
love to hear some ideas. Report any bugs to me also.
How to use AutoRename 1.0
To rename an entire folder of files (not including enclosed files),
just click the Select Folder button on the main screen. After selecting
a folder, type in a "base name", select a file extention if you wish to
"force" one, and click "Begin"
There is online help by clicking on the question mark icon in the
upper right hand corner of the window. Click the Help button in the
dialog box, and then click the mouse over an item which you require help
on. Later versions will include a troubleshooting, however because of
the basicness of this utility, troubleshooting would have been somewhat
unnecessary.
DisclaimerÖ
AutoRename 1.0 has been tested on a G3 PowerMacintosh (PM770) and
runs great. Any errors or problems that may occur are not the
responsibility of the programmer, nor shal any compensation be given in
the event of any errors. Please use this file and any included files

CDFinder is a very fast and powerful tool to create catalog files of your hard
disks, floppies, ZIP's and anything else that spins. It has a great user
interface and very useful search functions. CDFinder supports drag&drop and
requires at least a 68020 or PowerPC CPU. While System 7 is required, CDFinder
is also fully compatible to MacOS 9.1. A special feature is the
multi-lingual user
interface (German/French/English/Italian/Swedish/Chinese).

Now there is also a version for windows:
CDFinder 3.0 uses a new powerful catalog file format that will
contain a lot of additional information. So far, every item in a
catalog can have a comment and CDFinder can also read the version
info for files.
CDFinder 3.0.2 is a recommended bug-fix release.

Subject: CDFinder 4.3.1 for Mac OS 9 - Mac OS X
CDFinder is the perfect software solution to organize your disk and
data archive, and to keep track of digital media assets.
In essence, it is a powerful disk cataloging utility for the Apple
Macintosh that catalogs any data disk, CD-ROM, DVD, iPod,
network volume, floppy, ZIP, Audio-CD, and more.
CDFinder can also share the catalog data in a network, and supports a
wife variety of audio data, including MP3 and AAC files, and even
Audio-CDs.
Contents of archive files can be cataloged as well, including StuffIt
(up to version 6.5.1), Compact Pro, ZIP (used by Panther), TAR, and
Apple Installer (Tome) files.
The CDFinder application contains the user interface translated into
several languages: German, French, English, Italian, Swedish,
Chinese, Spanish, and Dutch.
Together with CDWinder 1.9.1 for Windows,
this is a special cross platform, network solution to catalog disks
and CD-ROMs on a Macintosh and a PC.
CDFinder is currently used on more than 25,000 seats worldwide.
Customers include IKEA, NASA, Warner Bros., Pfizer, Hasbro,
Springer & Jacoby, University of Edinburgh, New York Times,
University of South Australia, BYU University, Stanford University,
Futurenet, Saatchi & Saatchi, Ringier AG, Advico Young Rubicam,
BBDO, McCann-Erickson, Jung von Matt, World Book, Inc.,
The Principal Financial Group, Fossil Partners LP, Addison Design,
StoreImage Programs Inc., Clipper Magazine, and many more.
CDFinder requires Mac OS X, or Mac OS 9 with CarbonLib 1.6.
A CDFinder Private License starts at $30, several Business Licenses
are available.
New in CDFinder 4.3.1:
- CDFinder can now read the contents of .rar archive files
- In .tar, .zip., and .rar archive files, CDFinder will now read and
analyses the folder structures and display them accordingly in the
catalogs
- A new Scripts menu for AppleScripts can now handle the new
data-fork based script files of Mac OS 10.3 (".scpt"), display
Unicode script names, and uses a lot less resources than the old menu
- The toolbar can now be shown and hidden through a new menu command
in the View menu
- A problem with saving the position of the main window was solved.
That could cause it to appear in the wrong location every time
CDFinder was launched
- A problem with saving the font size solved, that could cause all
text in the CDFinder lists to appear garbled
- Multiple improvements in AppleScript
- As usual, a couple of other minor issues has been solved
This is a free and very recommended update for all registered users.
The new version can be obtained from the CDFinder Web Site

Subject: CopyThru v3.1
CopyThru v3.1 makes duplicates of HFS volumes with the option of
segmenting the copy through a fixed (or simply not-removed) volume. In
other words, it is a multi-pass block copier for removable media.
It is particularly useful for making backups of valuable data stored
on Zip, EzFlyer, Jaz, and other carts. CopyThru can also perform
high-speed direct disk-to-disk copies.
CopyThru fills up one or more hard drives (or as much of it as you permit
to be filled-up) with blocks, ejects the source volume, requests the
destination volume, and then repeats until the copy is completed.
It is heavily multi-threaded and uses asynchronous I/O so is much faster
than Finder-dragging.
CopyThru can copy almost anything; including disks with scratches, ball-point
marks, footprints, and even pin-holes.
Many options are supported.
Although v3.1 is now shareware it is quite inexpensive.

archives: security, encryption, password, privacy.
Will work on any Mac. Requires at least OS 7.6 . The attached file is a
full version of SecurePass. It is shareware ( $15.).
Highwinds Trading Company (http://www.highwinds.com) is pleased to
introduce SecurePass(tm), a desktop archiving utility for encrypted
passwords and other security keys. SecurePass is shareware ($15. US).
It is available via FTP at ftp://ftp.highwinds.com, and as an email
attachment via autoresponder at
mailto://1001-SecurePass.sit@ar.highwinds.com
The purpose of SecurePass is:
a. To give the networked professional maximum password and passkey
protection (with strong encryption), in a flexible and simple
environment where he memorizes just one password for access to all of
his other passwords and encrypted keys.
b. To allow the user to store these secure keys on the local disk
rather than remove them to a "more secure" place (which is rarely as
secure as one might imagine); also to allow multiple users to store
SecureKeys on a shared computer without compromising their individual
privacy.
c. To provide incentives for the user to use longer and more complex
passwords and security keys (inherently more secure). A random string
generator is included, as well as a tool that transfers a stored
password directly from SecurePass to the entry field where it is
required.
d. To remove the disincentives for the user to change his passwords
regularly. Simplistic and unchanging passwords is perhaps the
greatest security risk to today's networks. SecurePass allows the
user to change them more often without the risk of forgetting them or
having them become disorganized.
Notes about the Cryptography
The algorithms used by SecurePass are "SHA-1" for hashing and
"Blowfish" for encryption. Both are very secure and well-known in the
field of cryptography.

DateTree will copy files into a set of folders named by date. Although
the program was written with images in mind, it will handle any
file. Selective copying is possible, and several date-based
organizations are offered.
DateTree understands the dates which many digital cameras embed into
digital photo files. If the embedded date is not available, or for
non-image files, DateTree uses the modification date of the file to
determine which date folder it should be placed into.
DateTree's copy is much faster than the processing-intensive import in
iPhoto and other image processing programs. It's perfect for those who
prefer not to use a complex photo manager, and only lack a tool to
organize their images in the file system.

SegmentSMIer can instruct Disk Copy to :
segment images into your chosen number of parts; segment images into 1.4 MB floppy disk sized parts, for floppy archiving an image; make a NDIF disk image or first segment into a self-mounting image or ÔSMIÕ.
DropMakeSMI will instruct Disk Copy to create a self-mounting image of any NDIF image dropped onto it on the desktop of your startup disk. Not as flexible as SegmentSMIer, but speedier and just as robust.
NDIF Converter will quicken the process of converting old Disk Copy 4.2 images to the compressed NDIF format.
ImageCheck will induce Disk Copy to run a special internal check sequence on any disk image dropped onto it and inform you if it found a problem.
Floppy Archiver allows you to have a compressed NDIF image to be made instantaneously on the desktop of your startup disk from the 1.4 MB floppy disk you just dragged onto it. Speeds up archiving of floppy disks to some other media.
Main features :
New easy-to-use button-oriented interface;

Ability to make images Self-Mounting, i.e. images independent of Disk Copy;
Ability to choose where you want the output files to go;
Correct handling of all cancellations;
Supports Disk Copy 6.4;

What does "Deskpop" do?
Deskpop is a Control Strip module which lists all volumes, folders and
files currently on the Mac's desktop.
This is especially useful for the (hopefully short) time the desktop is
cluttered.
Folders are displayed with the underline style.
Volumes (a.k.a. Disks) are displayed with the bold bold+underline style.
The Trash is displayed with the bold style.
Selecting an item from the Deskpop menu will open it.
Holding down the Control+Option keys will reveal it in the Finder.
Holding down the Control+Shift keys will move the selected item to the
Trash.
If the selected item is a volume, Control+Shift+selecting will unmount it
and eject it, if it¹s ejectable.
These key combinations can be modified using the "Deskpop Settings"
dialog, which is accessible from the Deskpop menu item with the same name.
Requirements
Requires Mac OS 7.1 or better, and scriptable Finder (which is integrated
into Mac OS 7.5 and better, I believe).

Subject: Disk Charmer 3.1.5; disk erase/copy/verify utility
You don't have to wait for Mac OS X to initialize disks in background...
Disk Charmer is a neat utility that lets you conveniently erase and
copy disks, and handle disk images in DiskCopy and DiskDup+ format.
If you have Mac OS 8.1, you can now use the Mac OS Extended format
(a.k.a. HFS Plus) and even set the minimum allocation block size.
Disk Charmer lets you create larger disks: you gain 9K on 800K disks,
19K on HD disks, 1.5MB on Zips, 2.1M on MO230 disks.
At least System 7 is required.
Help Balloons are everywhere.
Disk Charmer has a nice, modeless interface.
It fully supports drag&drop.
It supports the handy "Undo" feature we all know and love.
New since version 3.1.4:
* Supports Navigation Services.
* Updated the Register application.

Subject: DiskLibrary 1.0 - a disk indexing tool
This HyperCard stack creates index cards for media like floppy disks, ZIP
disks, Magneto-Optical disks, CD-ROMs, ... This allows to search for
files on these disks without having to mount them. In other words: no more
disk-jockey situations if you forgot on which disk a certain file is!
For each disk, all file names are stored, together with some information
like size, creation date... You can also type info texts for your files,
which makes it even easier to find them back afterwards.
You can export index cards to data files to share with other people, or as
a backup... and all for free!

Subject: Disk-o-Matic 1.0 - auto-launch items when their disk is inserte
Program: Disk-o-Matic 1.0
Author: Alessandro Levi Montalcini
Price: $10 (shareware)
Register: http://order.kagi.com/?67
Download: http://www.montalcini.com
Disk-o-Matic lets you automatically open an item when its disk
is inserted or mounted. Here are a few examples of what you can
do with it:
- automatically display text or picture clippings with specific
information about each of your removable disks.
- create multimedia CD-ROMs that automatically start up their
presentation when inserted.
- open the document you're working on as soon as its disk is
mounted.
- have your Mac play a different sound for each of your Zip
disks as soon as you slide one of them in the drive.
- automatically run an antivirus or repair utility from an
emergency disk.
- run a complex AppleScript or macro when a backup disk is
mounted.
After a disk has been configured, the Disk-o-Matic application
itself is no longer required to make the auto-launch feature
work. You can take the modified disk to any other Mac without
Disk-o-Matic and still have the chosen item automatically
launched, as long as QuickTime is properly installed and
configured (see below).
Disk-o-Matic takes advantage of a new QuickTime feature that
allows you to automatically launch a specified item as soon as a
disk is mounted. This feature is called "Enable CD-ROM AutoPlay"
and must be turned ON in the QuickTime control panel. Despite
its name, it actually works with all kinds of disks, not just
with CD-ROMs; you can set an auto-launching item for floppy
disks, Zip disks, disk images, and any other removable or fixed
disks except your startup disk. The startup disk can't use this
feature because it is mounted before QuickTime is loaded, but
then you can use the "Startup Items" folder instead.

Disk Recall is a super-fast disk and FTP cataloger. It creates catalogs of
any type of disk (floppies, hard drives, CD-ROMs, Zips, AppleShare volumes,
etc...). It features an intuitive Finder-like list view for browsing disk
contents, and a powerful multi-criteria search engine. Disk Recall uses a
very fast archiving algorithm to scan Macintosh disks 5 to 10 times faster
than other Macintosh catalogers. Disk Recall aslo catalogs FTP directories
and extracts Info-mac abstracts as well. It can also search for duplicate
files; delete files or folders; scan inside Stuffit files; open, reveal and
copy items in the Finder, and more. Registered users also get the Disk
Recall Extension which automatically scans disks at eject time. Unlike with
other (slower) catalogers, users barely notice the extra delay when ejecting
disks. Disk Recall is $20 shareware. Version 1.2.8 fixes a bug with finding
duplicates, and is Mac OS 9.1 compatible.

your hard drive any bigger, but it does show you, *GRAPHICALLY*, what's
using up all that space. Click on a folder and zoom in for a closer
look. Or, zoom back out. Shift-click on a folder, and it brings up the
ACTUAL folder so you and can drag the "offending" files to the Trash or
your backup volume. Create DiskSummary files that list all the files
found on CDROMs or any other volume. No longer will you have to waste
valuable time navigating through folder after folder trying to figure

DiskTracker is an extremely powerful and flexible disk cataloging and
management system. It combines a huge feature set with a really easy to
use Mac-like interface. With DiskTracker, you can quickly and easily
create a catalog of every file on every one of your floppy disks, hard
drives, CD-ROMs, optical drives, servers, or whatever. Naturally,
DiskTracker can read into StuffIt and Compact Pro archives and
self-expanding applications.
After scanning your disks, you can then search the catalog at
unbelievable speeds with the powerful searching facility (including
multi-parameter and duplicate file searching). You can easily create
professional looking disk labels with the built in disk labeling
facility and label template designer.
Features include:
-View the contents of scanned volumes in a familiar easy-to-use
System-7-style file list. -Built in (fast!) virtual memory scheme
ensures that you won't run out of memory, even when scanning huge
volumes and CD-ROMs with only 600K of allocated RAM! -Intelligent disk
scanner can operate in the background and allows either scans of online
volumes and servers or floppy disks (insert disks one at a time to scan
them). -Launch files directly from the program, or have the finder
display them for you. -Fast, multi-parameter (use AND, OR, or XOR)
searches. Search on almost 20 different criteria! -Really powerful disk
labeling system allows completely automated disk label production. -Draw
your own label templates using the built in MacDraw(tm)-style template
editor, featuring powerful file-lists and rotatable text. -Fat binary
runs in native mode on PowerMacs or on 680x0 based machines. -Plus much,

Subject: [Disk Watcher 1.1] Automatically check disks for corruption
Description:
"Disk Watcher" fully automates Disk First Aid to check your disks for
corruption. Results are logged. What action to (automatically) take when a
disk problem is found is 100% customizable!
The idea is "damage prevention" - disk errors can go unnoticed, resulting in
even more errors until finally things go really wrong. Checking your disks on
a regular basis is just good "disk-keeping". Disk Watcher automates that for
you.
Use:
The Disk Watcher installer will put everything in place. It gives you the
option to have Disk Watcher launched on every startup, or just once per day
at startup. Alternatively you can have a cron launch it at whatever interval
you deem appropriate.
- Disk Watcher allows you to exempt disks from being checked based on the
kind of disk (locked, ejectable) and/or based on the disk's name.
- Disk Watcher allows you to have your own custom actions take place (which
can even overrule Disk Watcher's default action) when a disk problem is
found. Such an action might be to automatically launch another disk repair
utility, but may also be to launch your own home grown scripts... Powerful
stuff!
System Requirements:
- Works under Mac OS 7.5 through 9.x
- Disk First Aid 8.2 or higher
- AppleScript needs to be enabled
New:
- If the startup disk was busy and couldn't be checked, Disk First Aid was
quit instead of left running. Fixed.
- If Disk First Aiad encountered a diskproblem it cannot fix, Disk Watcher
would give up. Disk Watcher now correctly logs the error and continues.
- When upgrading, the installer could accidentally revert your Disk Watcher
settings to the default settings. Fixed.
- If you trash the preferencess file ("DW Config" in the "Disk Watcher
Preferences Folder") Disk Watcher will now install a fresh copy the next time
it runs.
- You can now define how often Disk Watcher will retry to check a busy disk.
- Placing the text of error messages on the clipboard is now optional and is
off by default. You should probably only switch it on if you are having
problems with Disk Watcher and want to send the author the error message you
are getting. Like all other options, this option can be switched on in Disk
Watcher's configuration file ("DW Config", in the Disk Watcher Preferences
folder). This option only works under Mac OS 8.5 and above.
- Made some improvements to upgrade process.
- Added a note about a conflict with "Control PPP" to the "known problems"
chapter.
Pricing and payment:
Disk Watcher costs $10,-
Payment is handled by Kagi.

DOS-Namer is a very handy application for all those who often copy files from Mac to PC. Win95/WinNT or DOS require the 3 Char extension (for example: ".txt"). The Mac not. This application simply adds the correct extension to the filename. If you have to copy files to DOS computers you know that they only support 8 Chars + the extension, so DOS-Namer can also short the Mac filenames to any lenght from 1 to 27 Chars.

Long description
Doublet Scan 10 is the most advanced program available to take
advantage of the latest OS X technologies to find any kind of
duplicates on your volumes.
Doublet Scan 10 is an evolution, completely redesigned and rewritten, of
the older Doublet Scan that was designed for the Classic Mac OS and
successively adapted for OS X.
Doublet Scan 10 allows you to search for duplicate files by name,
creation date, modified date, size, type, creator, extension, contents
and more. In addition, this new version looks for MP3 and AAC
duplicates by their tags: song name, artist, album, genre, year and
content.
Doublet Scan 10 can manage your folders: automatically you can look for
your empty folders, invisible folders, their contents and more. Also,
you can use your imagination to create more customizable criteria with
which to search. As with the older version, you can also find any
unique files that you have on your volumes. You can also use Doublet
Scan with all Windows OS shared volumes to manage files and folders as
Mac OS volumes.
What's new
Fixed a bug that sometimes crashed Doublet Scan when a search was
terminated.
Fixed a bug that sometimes crashed Doublet Scan when a window was

EasyFind is an alternative to or supplement of Sherlock and finds

and therefore immediately. This is especially useful if you are tired
of slow or impossible indexing, outdated or corrupted indices or if you
are just looking for missing features like case sensitive or
insensitive search, boolean operators, wildcards or searching for
phrases. In addition, EasyFind uses multithreading and is therefore
very responsive even with multiple search processes running, provides
contextual menus and Mac OS X services and displays the location of
each item in a separate column for a better overview. Finally EasyFind
uses little memory, supports drag-and-drop and the clipboard and
optionally finds invisible items or items within packages.
History:
- New proximity operator ~ to match partial words/substrings too (by
default only complete words are accepted)
- Directory popup displays icons for each item
- "Select..." command moved to the top of the directory popup
- Shortcuts to "Destroy", "Move To Trash" and "Select..." commands added
- Input field has the focus right after opening windows or launching
the application
- Pressing Command-. cancels a running search too
- Closing the settings drawer automatically resizes/moves the window to
the previous frame if the window has been resized/moved while opening

What's it do?
------------
This small utility is used as an alternative way to eject removable volumes (ie. disks, cd, etc). It also has the Following Features:
*Can eject shared volumes, which would normally require you to shut off sharing to eject it.
*Great to use if you don't like to drag to the trash
*If an application or file on the volume is open when you eject the disk, it will keep the app, and/or file open and untouched until you go back to at which time it will ask for the disk again.
*Can remove disk images from the desktop
Future Features
--------------.
* The ability to rebuild the desktop of the disk next time it is inserted
* Automatically Quit/Close/Save open applications or files on the drive before it ejects
* Rebuild your hard drive's desktop
Known Bugs
------------
There are no know bugs at this time.
Registration Information
-------------
This program is shareware. The shareware fee is $5. Please help us pay our expenses. If you register we will send you the upgrade to later versions free and before everyone else. I know that doesn't sound like much, but we don't believe in serial numbers, and stuff to force people to pay. A Site License is also available and costs $50 (roughly equal to 10 users) and covers all locations for your organization within a 160 kilometer radius of your site (100 miles). One big advantage of a Site License is that you do not need to keep track of how many people at your site are using the software. A World-Wide License costs $1000 and it covers all locations for your organization on the planet earth.
How to Register
-------------
Paying for Ejecter is fairly simple. Open the Register program that accompanies Ejecter. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you desire for each program you wish to purchase (or Site or Word-Wide licenses). Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi.
If paying with Credit Card or First Virtual, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-QGT
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be a check drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around USD 15 per check and that is just not practical. If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment. Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to act on my behalf and generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end. Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed. Payments send via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
CD-ROM and Web Site info
------------------
You may include this on a CD-Rom however, we get a free copy of the CD-Rom. You must notify us before you make the CD-Rom, in case of Newer Version, and you must send us the $5 registration fee or have already registered.
You may put this product on your Web Site as long as this file is included with the program, you notify us prior, and you don't link to our copy on the web. Use some of your own space.

Empty Temp Folder 1.0
By John Schilling
johnnycat@mac.com
A simple utility to view and empty the "Temporary Items" folder used in OS 9
(and, from what I hear, earlier OS'es back to 7.6). This folder can easily
and quickly fill up, causing disk space to run low for no apparent reason.
For safety reasons, files listed as being "In Use" cannot be moved to the
trash.

Description
Here's an AppleScript droplet to compress files and folders with the
unix utility "gnutar" which comes with the Apple Developer Tools. This
script equals to manually typing "gnutar zcf" with Terminal. You can
have a choice whether to add suffix or not. By default, the suffix is
the date in yyyymmdd format. I build this script to save myself a few
seconds every time I back up my files (which happens many times daily).
This script is provided to you "AS IS" and the responsibility for its
operation is yours.

Subject: File-Adopter-1.0.dmg
File Adopter 1.0 is now available.
File Adopter uses your Internet Config preferences to add type and
creator codes to files that lack them. Typeless files are common on Mac
OS X, and are a source of numerous frustrations. File Adopter works with
simple drag and drop. It can replace existing type and creator codes if
they disagree with Internet Config, or only add codes when they are
absent. After adopting a file, it shows you the changes it has made. You
can also hold down Shift to orphan a file, instead of adopting it. This
is useful if you know that the file has incorrect codes but that the
correct ones aren't in Internet Config.

About Find File 1.1.3 patch :
A neat feature in Find File 1.1.3 is the option to automatically close Find File
when you select a menu item (or double-click on a found item) while holding down
the option key. Unfortunately, this doesn't work with keyboard equivalents. For
instance, command-option-o doesn't do anything. This patch modifies Find File
1.1.3 to enable the use of the option key with keyboard equivalents. After
applying the patch, you'll find that command-option-o opens the selected items
and quits Find File.
Also, the OFind File ShortcutsEO dialog, available under the Guide menu, states
that OYou can quit Find File by pressing the Option key while you click any Find
File windowOs close box. O Nice, but it doesn't work ! This patch will also fix
this bug.
This patch is designed for Find File 1.1.3 only (part of MacOS 7.6). It should
work with localized verion, but comes without any warranty. Use it at your own

FindText can search the data- and/or resource-fork of your files.
FindText needs System 7 or better and runs native both on the PowerMac and

History:
29 November 2001 - version 1.1 added prefs for including types and sizes
Abstract:
Drop a folder on Folder Lister's desktop icon. It produces a text file on
your desktop containing a formatted, recursive list of the files and folder=
s
within the folder selected.
Invisible files and folders are clearly labelled. Files are listed with
their creator/file types and size. File names with trailing return
characters (such as "Icon\r") are marked with "=AC".
Apologia: This is one of the first programs anyone who learns the Mac
toolbox will write. I've written it myself at least three times, over the
years, counting this one. Now that the "Classic" environment is dying out
(slooooowly...) I just wanted to have it around, in my bag of tricks.
I don't actually USE it often, but when I do, it's probably either to create
an inventory of files, or to search for odd stuff hiding on my system (like
Internet Explorer's invisible "Date Preferences", as in how kinky you prefer
your internet content, not whether you want DAY-MONTH-YEAR dates).
Folder Lister can list about 25,000 files & folders (4 Gb) in about 90
seconds, on this iBook 2000 at least.
Requires PowerPC, Macintosh OS 7.5 or better, OS 9.2.1 recommended.

The 'Get Info' script
(c)1998 Wade Riddick
This little script allows you to *easily* change the file type & creator
information for any file dropped on it. It'll also show the size of the
data and resource forks (handy if you have a disk that runs under some
funky metric system where 1 byte = 60K).
If you drop a folder, it'll scan every file down to the last subfolder.
You change each one at a time or hit the 'Do All' button which will alter
*every* subsequent file to whatever you've just entered in the fields (use
this prudently).
This script requires Dialog Runner and who knows what other scripting
extensions. To get it to work, you'll have to drop the resource file in
the Preferences folder. Both the applet and script are included for your
edification/amusement.
It runs slow as a dog (let me clarify: a lethargic bassethound) even on a
G3, but that's an Applescript problem.
Due to the all the 'adult' SPAM coming into my mail box lately, I've
decided to label this "Bimboware." If you use it, you are morally,
legally and ethically obligated to debase yourself by visiting my website:

Ghost is a powerful but easy-to-use file and folder protection utility for
the Macintosh. With Ghost you can quickly hide and protect your important
files from others who access your computer. Ghost has five specific
protection options for files (such as invisibility and type-protecting) and
three for folders. You can mix and match any or all of the options to
customize the protection to the level you need.
New in Ghost 3.5 is the Favorites window that allows you to save
commonly-used files and folders so that they can be protected or restored at
the click of a button. Ghost 3.5 also incorporates several favorites
automation features such as the ability to restore all favorites on launch
and protect all favorites on quit, saving you time and effort.
The Ghost application can be password-protected so only you have access to
your important protected documents. If you are running Mac OS 9 or later,
you can have Ghost take advantage of they keychain's password management as
well. You can use the Ghost 3.5 application to protect and restore files or
folders based on your set protection options, or you can custom-protect a
file or folder at any time without having to change your settings.
Ghost 3.5 requires a PowerMac running Mac OS 8.5 or higher.
Ghost is also available at www.pointblanksoftware.com.

Grapple has a clear and intuitive interface. Set up a string to find,
choose where to start your search and hit the search button. Grapple
searches recursively through the folder hierarchy for files of the chosen
type (or types) which contain your string. Matched strings are extracted
and listed in a window for you to browse through. At the end of a search,
select any file from those listed and either view it from within Grapple,
have the Finder display its location or open it with the editor of your
choice - all at the press of a button!
Grapple has many features not mentioned here but those that are
NEW to version 1.3 include:
- now faster than any other string finder tested!

Installation:
To enable "GREPFileRename" to do its magic, you have to have AppleScript

- "Regular Expressions" from Script Tools 1.3.6 by Mark Alldritt [1.4.2 or
higher].

HC Encrypt lets you encrypt any file using a key file or an on-the-fly key. You

as secure, HCE algorithm. After encrypting a file, you can scramble it using a
different key and/or compress it. These features, though not available for HCE 2
encryption, provide additional security to the already secure HCE encryption.
Both the HCE and HCE 2 algorithms are freely available to anyone, and a
description of both algorithms are included with the public release of HC
Encrypt.
Common uses for HC Encrypt would be encrypting sensitive documents, files for
transfer over the Net/unsecure networks or other material not suited for the
general public's eyes.
This version of HC Encrypt adds the following
- The HCE 2 algorithm (only available to registered users)
- Serial number schemes and a registration form
- You can now use key files to encrypt/decrypt files
- The interface has changed noticeably
- Many bugs fixed, including one which only occurs when using HC Encrypt with HyperCard Player.

MacUpdate is a general-purpose file synchronization utility
that is simple enough to be used for every-day backups, yet
is flexible and powerful enough for specialized backup needs.
Changes to this updated version include a progress bar
display while synchronizing, deferral of error reporting
until after the synchronization process is complete, the
ability to replace newer files in a destination folder with
the corresponding older files from a source, the ability to
deal with locked loners that need to be deleted, and a few
minor bug fixes.
MacUpdate can be configured to create items on the backup
disk that are new on the original disk. Similarly, MacUpdate
can be set up to delete items from the backup disk that were
deleted from the original disk.
MacUpdate works with Zip, SyQuest, floppy disks, hard disks,
and AppleTalk networks. Pretty much any Hierarchical Filing
System (HFS) disk. MacUpdate requires System 7, and a 68020
or better, or Power PC processor. MacUdpate is a Fat binary.
MacUpdate can also do graphical comparisons of the contents
of two folders -- similar to a Finder list view. You can
visually "Preview" what will be updated before actually
performing a synchronization.
MacUpdate fully supports drag-and-drop from the Finder.
MacUpdate includes automation tools and good documentation.

Macaroni: Automated System Maintenance for Mac OS X
Why should you have to remember to clean up your Mac once a week, or
once a month? Shouldn't a computer be able to remember for you?
Macaroni is a tool which handles regular maintenance for Mac OS X's
Unix core. Normally these tasks run on a regular schedule, in the
middle of the night. However if you don't leave your Mac on all night,
they never run. Your Mac won't wake from sleep to handle this.
Macaroni remembers the schedule for you!
Macaroni solves this problem. If a scheduled maintenance task is not
run when it's normally scheduled, Macaroni automatically ensures that
it's run at the next opportunity, whenever the Mac is on.
New in version 1.1:
New scheduling features. Scheduled maintenance may be configured to
occur only during system idle time.
Features:
* Automatically runs maintenance jobs
* Configurable: Add your own scheduled tasks
* Custom tasks can be scheduled as daily, weekly, monthly, or at
regular intervals (such as "every three days").
* Tracks maintenance history
* Displays results of latest maintenance run.
* Optionally schedule tasks to run only during system idle time.
Macaroni is made by Atomic Bird, at

Subject: Missing Link for OS X - 'Browser As File Launcher'
Missing Link is a set of helper applications that allows almost any web
browser to open, launch, or run local files, folders, applications,
scripts and other file types from links on a simple HTML Page. When
clicked, linked items behave just as if they had been double-clicked in
the Finder.
Files are linked 'in place' and may reside anywhere on disk or partition.
They are not modified in any way. File suffixes or extensions are
generally not necessary. Files are always opened by their original
creator applications (unless the creator type of the file itself has been
changed).
In various forms, Missing Link works on Mac OS 7.5.x to OS X. It works
with Netscape, Internet Explorer, Opera, and iCab. It even works from
the Help Viewer. (It does not work well with OmniWeb.) To the best of
my knowledge, it will _not_ work over the Internet except by proper Mac
program linking.
Missing Link is made with AppleScript. It requires no osax but the
Standard Additions (included with every Mac). It takes up about 250 K
disk space. The individual helper apps run smoothly with about 1 MB RAM
apiece.
A simple one-time manual installation, restart and desktop rebuild are
required for Missing Link to work properly.
A more complete description and demos for both 'Classic' (pre-OS X)
platforms and OS X are available at:

Subject: Mt. Everything 1.5.0a4
Mt. Everything is a control panel allowing you to manage your SCSI
devices and mount Macintosh volumes from any SCSI disk. Additionally
it lets you gather information about all partitions located on a given
SCSI drive and lets you inspect the content of a drive without
having to mount a volume from it.
Mt. Everything 1.5 adds full support for mutliple SCSI buses, including
SCSI buses added by third party expansion cards to your computer. It supports
Ultra/Wide SCSI buses.
Mt. Everything 1.5.0a4 still is an alpha release. It represents work in
progress
and is neither feature complete nor carefully tested. It is intended to supply
a timely fix for broken features in Mt. Everything 1.5.0a3.
What is new in 1.5.0a4?
- Most important, a bug introduced 1.5.0a3, that would cause Mt. Everything
not to mount
volumes from SCSI-disks that weren't powered on a boot time, has been fixed.
- Another somewhat weird and rare problem has been fixed. See the README
for details.
- A very preliminary version of Mt. Everything's hotkey is back in this
release.
Since Mt. Everything 1.5.0a3 failed to mount volumes under certain
conditions, some of
the new features in alpha 3 were inaccessible for most people. Thus I have
left part
of the alpha 3 feature list in here, since most of it applies (finally) to
this release.
What was new in 1.5.0a3?
- Experimental support for mounting volumes which are marked not to
"Auto-Mount" in their
setup-program. This new feature currently works only for drives which have
been prepared
with Apple's "Drive Setup" program.
- Experimental support for SCSI-2 compliant optical storage devices like MO
drives added.
Mt. Everything will treat them the same as a normal hard disk and should be
able
to mount volumes from such drives if the drive (or better its medium) has
been prepared
to be used by Mac OS computers.
- Mt. Everything now should mount PowerBooks 1400 running in disk mode
like it does with other PowerBook models.

New Menu 1.0b3
New Menu adds a hierarchical menu to your Finder's New Folder menu
choice. The Installer creates a folder named "New Documents" in your
system folder, and any files in that folder will appear on that
hierarchical menu. These files should be various new documents for your
various applications.
When you select one of those file names, New Menu copies that file into
your Finder's window (whereever the Finders New Folder would have
created the folder). It's a copy, so you can open and modify it without
changing your "blank" document in the "New Documents" folder. Also the
System Beep at startup is when the INIT loads and if any one can disable
this I will make them the co author.
New Menu requires system 7 (although it's only been tested on 7.5.5).
It may not work on older systems (But let me know if it will work) .
You can get any support on it, But It's completely UNGUARANTEED for it
may crash your computer. Feel free to send suggestions or complaints
to me at timhat@mgmainnet.com .

Obsidian Trial Size 1.0.6, on the other hand, is an evaluation copy which

PeekIt is a quick and easy utility for examining any file on your Mac.
PeekIt allows you to open, examine, and change
(as raw or hex values) the contents of a file.
This is very useful for anyone from programmers
to people who just want to snoop around the
system to learn more.
PeekIt also allows you to annotate files, adding
notes about interesting data locations, fields,
and other information. This can be a huge boon
to programmers working in remote teams, and with
the addition of exporting .pinotes files in 2.4
this gets even better, see the Notes section of
the docs.
The ability to directly modify the contents of
any file can be invaluable, for everything from
making a change in a file you don't have an
application for, to fixing a value quickly during
debugging of an application.
PeekIt can also be a fun tool to explore and
learn, and in some cases make other applications
more usable. Peeking a game save file, for
example, can teach you how programmers think and
work when they are saving a complex bunch of
information. If along the way you figure out how
to give yourself 1,000,000 extra gold pieces that
can be fun, too!
You can also view most of the source code to

From: Cliff Story
Subject: Cliff's Permanent Backup Program 1.0.2
CPBP (Cliff's Permanent Backup Program) is a backup utility for Mac OS. It was
developed on a Power Mac running Mac OS 8.6 but it should run on any Macintosh,
68K or PPC, running Mac OS 7.5 or later.
CPBP backs up the disks, folders and files that you choose, saving the data in
archive files. It also writes an index file, which tells it where in
the archive
each file is stored. Once a file is backed up, the archive copy is
never changed
or deleted; thus the name, Cliff's Permanent Backup Program.
This permanent backup has two consequences:
First, when you restore files, there may be multiple versions of a file in the
archive, and you can choose the version you want to restore. You can also use
CPBP to archive rarely-used files, delete them from your hard disk, and restore
them when you need them.
Second, because archive files are never modified, you can write them to CD or
DVD. This is the feature I wrote CPBP to obtain! I wanted the permanence of CD
backup, together with the convenience of a backup program.
CPBP does all you expect a backup program to do: it will back up all disks
mounted on your desktop, including AppleShare volumes; it will back up only
those disks, folders and files you select in a simple Finder-like list window;
it will do incremental backups, archiving only those files that have changed
since the last backup; and it restores files that you choose in another Finder-
like list window.
CPBP also does interrupted backups. You can interrupt a backup before it
finishes, and resume it sometime later, and CPBP will pick it up exactly where
it left off. This is particularly useful if you're backing up to CD.
CPBP is copyright, but I grant a free license to anyone who likes it and wants
to use it. It's a gift! And you may pass it on, provided you (1) pass on the
Stuffit archive unchanged and complete, and not bits and pieces; and (2) don't
charge for the software, or for any disks on which it appears, without my
permission. To get permission, just send me an email, describe what you want to
do, and I'll almost always say "yes".

- Two optional switches to rule out the selecting and excluding document files by
their file types and creator types. - Alert by the File Info dialog to let you
confirm if you really want to discard the resource fork. - It can search for
document files inside subfolders recursively. - The software is constructed from
a bunch of reusable codes, which forms a class library common to my "touchMe"
program.

Pressmeddelande från Dr. Feelgood
Dr. Feelgood
ramskiveprogrammet ramBunctious 1.3.1-SE i svensk version. ramBunctious är
ett RAM-skiveprogram med många värdefulla egenskaper.
ramBunctious har lyckats eliminera nackdelarna och bibehålla fördelarna
jämfört med de flesta andra RAM-skiveprogram. Du kan själv välja hur du ska
prioritera för att få rätt balans mellan snabbhet, säkerhet och
mångsidighet. Du kan t.ex välja att låta programmet kontinuerligt spara
till en hårdskiva för att trygga dina data ifall datorn skulle krascha. Du
kan montera ett valfritt antal RAM-skivor så långt minnet räcker till.
ramBunctious använder samma minnesutymme som andra program, så minnet kan
användas av andra program genast du lägger tillbaka en RAM-skiva.
Menyer, dialoger och fönster är gjorda så att det är enkelt att kontrollera
en eller flera RAM-skivor. Om du har flera RAM-skivor monterade kan du ha
olika inställningar för var och en.
Ändringar från version 1.2 till 1.3.1
* Det förinställda filnamnet för alias i Startobjekt kollas nu avseende
antal tecken.
* Inledande nollor skrivs nu alltid till bildfilen.
* Utseendet (inklusive symboler och startbilden har gjorts om.
* ramBunctious kan nu fullständigt kontrolleras via AppleScript! Det finns
med ett antal exempelscript.
* En kryssruta Enbart RAM finns nu när RAM-skivor skapas. Inget
hårddiskutrymme krävs för bildfilen.
* ramBunctious kommer nu ihåg namnet på ramskiveenheten även när enbart
RAM-minne används.
* Dokumentationsskärmen har avsevärt förbättrats.

What is ramBunctious?
ramBunctious 1.5 is a shareware ($25) RAM disk program for the Mac OS.
Its rich set of features lets you customize your RAM disks for your
desired balance of speed, security, safety, and versatility.
- You can have several RAM disks mounted simultaneously, limited only
by memory available.
- ramBunctious has a "write-through" option. When activated, everything
written to the RAM disk is saved to a (real) file. This means that
the next time you mount the RAM disk, all the contents are still
there. This helps protect against data loss in the event of a crash
or power failure.
- ramBunctious uses normal application memory. This means that when
you're done using a RAM disk, that memory is available for other
applications to use. In other words, you don't have to reboot to
reclaim the memory.
- Each RAM disk may be configured to be mounted automatically during
the computer's startup process.
- These options, and more, are fully user-configurable for each RAM
disk via a status/settings window. In addition to the settings, the
status window includes LED-like access indicators that flash when the
RAM disk is being read from or written to.
- ramBunctious is fully AppleScriptable.

ramBunctious 2.0 is a RAM disk program for Macintosh computers using OS

ramBunctious 2.0 provides basic RAM disk functionality for OS X,
including being able to read from and write to RAM disks originally
created using ramBunctious 1.x on OS 9 or below.
OS X's driver architecture is wholly different from OS 9 and below, so
we basically had to start over from scratch to implement a RAM disk
suitable for OS X.
If you're used to ramBunctious 1.6.2, you may find yourself looking for
features not yet available in ramBunctious 2. Our primary goal was to
make available an OS X RAM disk program, and we anticipate adding
features during future releases as long as there's a place for us in the
OS X marketplace. Multiple disks available simultaneously and real-time
write-through are two examples of features that were sacrificed for now
in order to release an OS X RAM disk program.

Subject: Rearrange Folders 1.2.1J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the Rearrange Folders package.
Rearrange Folders is a program which lets you optimize the positioning
of windows of disks and folders in the Finder. You can specify where the
window for a disk or folder should open and Rearrange Folders takes care
that any folder inside that folder will open neatly stacked on top of
the first folder so that your screen does not get so cluttered.
Additionally, you can specify how the items in the windows should be
ordered and you can choose whether to display the contents as icons,
buttons or list view. Ê Ê
Examples of uses for Rearrange Folders
Normal users:
Clean up the window positions on your screen. Make it
easier to navigate through multiple levels of folders because you can
have windows stacked in such a way that you can always see parts of any
window. You do not need to close windows again only to be able to see
other windows which get buried under other windows!
CD-ROM authoring, Programmers, Shareware authors:
Before burning a CD-ROM you can determine where the various windows
for folders on the CD will open on the screen. Your CD will look more
professional when the windows do not appear in random locations.
You can also ensure that the windows are always visible even when the
users of your CDs are having smaller screens than you have. Ê
System requirements for Rearrange Folders:
Rearrange Folders should run
on all Apple Power Macintosh and PowerBook computers with a PowerPC
processor and Mac OS 9. The Finder has to be running for Rearrange
Folders to function. While Rearrange Folders may also run with earlier
version of MacOS, we do not guarantee nor do we support such
configurations.

Rearrange Folders is an application which works
together with the Finder of Mac OS 9 and lets the user
to rearrange the windows of folder hierarchies so that
they can be neatly stacked when opened in the Finder.
It can also be used to rearrange and resize Finder
windows so that when the same folders are later opened
on screens with smaller resolutions they are inside
the
visible screen area. The program is ideally suited for
those who need to create CD-ROMs regularly or those
who want to save screen space or have less clutter on
their desktops. It also makes navigating in the file
system simpler since one can easily see at which level
the user is in the folder hierarchy.
Rearrange Folders requires a Power Macintosh computer
and Mac OS 9. It may even work with earlier system
versions but such configurations are not supported by
the authors.
Rearrange Folders is shareware $20 for single users.

Subject: Retrieve It! 2.5 Demo for Macintosh
Retrieve It! 2.5 is a cool new Macintosh utility that lets you search the
Internet *and* your hard drive.
It works with your browser to provide short cuts to powerful online
search services like AltaVista, InfoSeek, Yahoo, PCQuote, Four11, and
others. You can search the World Wide Web, online news sources,
classified ads and Usenet -- and lookup stock quotes, email addresses,
and other online information -- all about twice as fast as using your web
browser directly. And you can search through hundreds of files on your
hard drive in seconds to find the ones that mention the words or phrases
you specify. Vist
This demo version of Retrieve It! 2.5 is just like the full version,
except it only lets you use a couple World Wide Web search services, and
it only lists the first two found files for any given hard drive search.
This package includes an online help file and a good readme file.
Thanks!

From: James Prescott
Subject: Retrospect2iPatch
Retrospect International 2.0 (and possibly other old Retrospect
versions) has a Y2K-Plus-One bug.
The symptom is that after the beginning of the year 2001 the
program, on launch, says "Your Macintosh clock/calendar appears
to be wrong", and asks you to either Quit or to Set Clock.
The reason is that the code contains a date sanity check which
is set to treat as wrong any system clock time after 23:59:59
on 2000-December-31.
This patch, for Retrospect International 2.0 (2.0i) only, extends
the date sanity check for an additional 39 years or so.
The ReadMe file gives details that can be used (with ResEdit)
to help fix other Retrospect versions that exhibit this bug.

Run DFA 1.0.2 is an AppleScript application which launches Disk First Aid
8.2 and scans all of the local, non-ejectable disks (i.e., hard drives)
on your system. As such, it's a great addition to your Startup Items
folder, and also a handy item to keep around in your Apple Menu.
The theory of operation is pretty simple. Run DFA creates a list of
local, non-ejectable disks and ships the list off to Disk First Aid 8.2
to be verified. That's it. If a disk needs repair, Disk First Aid will be
open and ready to perform the operation.
Run DFA 1.0.2 requires AppleScript and Disk First Aid 8.2.
Any questions, bug reports, and suggestions should be directed to me at
drbenway@texas.net.
Run DFA 1.0.2 is freeware, and is released to the public without any

Screen Fortress is a bit less than a fortress but nevertheless it does
provide a way to stop someone for prying into your computer without a
little effort.
Installation: Drag the folder to your hard drive after unstuffing.
Double click on either file (they should stay in the same folder to
work) to start.
You can place it or an alias of it in your startup folder to lock the
computer at startup if you have a server or other computer needing a bit
of security.
Screen Fortress is simply a bound Filemaker Pro document. It puts
nothing in your system folder and as such shouldn't affect anything. You
don't need Filemaker Pro to use it.
I have included the unbound version of screen fortress. I do this in
case someone would like to see the simple database programming. This
part will not work without Filemaker though.

Subject: Search & Rescue 2.0.1
There are a myriad ways to recover files from a hard drive, but
conventional wisdom says that once unsaved data - existing only in ghostly
RAM - is lost, there's no way to EVER recover that data. Well, now there is
a way, because Search & Rescue does just that.
Hard drive recovery often costs over $1000, and involves days (or weeks) of
waiting. Unsaved text lost in RAM can be equally distressing but Search &
Rescue salvages your hard work within seconds for only $15!
Welcome to Search & Rescue, an application which gives you the ability to
quickly and easily recover text (which would otherwise be lost forever)
straight from your Mac's memory! You simply enter a word or two of text
from the lost material, click the button, and Search and Rescue will scour
through the dim recesses of your computer's memory until it comes up with
the goods...
Requirements:
Search & Rescue requires at least a 68k Macintosh running System 7.1
Changes in this version:
- Introduction of Search & Rescue Panic Key and RAM Image files.
- Search windows are now resizable.
- Search results logically ordered.
- Support for Navigation Services.
- More substantial manual.
- Generally nicer.
- Balloon help added.
- Fixed a bug which caused crashes on G4 machines, Search & Rescue should
now be stable on all Macs.

This is the Japanese version of the Sesame package.
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 secure screen saver, so that you can walk away from your Mac
without having to shut it down first. And finally, a nice touch for site
administrators: you can create an administrator password in addition to your
individual password.
Sesame comes with a detailed manual, and an installer program that will
install everything for you.

ShrinkWrap creates and mounts exact duplicates of disk
images on the desktop for easy online distribution. With a simple drag
and drop, you can turn a disk or files into an electronically
transmittable image file and then return it to an exact copy of the
original source disk.
Whats new:
* Easily create read/write/mount support for Apple's segmented images
without using scripting software. ShrinkWrap automatically creates
segmented images based on the media that is being used.
* Support for HFS+ - For HFS+ users, creating a back-up image has
never been easier or more reliable.
* Option to not copy unused blocks of a volume - This benefits users
by assuring that only information they choose to include is copied,
and saving media and hard drive space when the image is compressed.
* Supports Navigation Services - Open/Save dialogs are now movable,
support multiple selections, and allow easy access to recent,
favorite and network folders and servers- even those not already
mounted in the Finder.
* Interface Improvements - ShrinkWrap is Appearance Manager savvy
and has an updated Preferences window (similar to DropStuff and
Expander). This unites the ShrinkWrap interface with the System
software and makes ShrinkWrap more familiar to new users.
Requirements:
ShrinkWrap supports Macintosh and Power Macintosh computers running
Mac OS 7.1.1 and higher. It contains both 68K and PowerPC native code,
is AppleEvent aware, 32-bit clean, AV, '040 cache and virtual memory
compatible. Although a Macintosh SE or better is required for full
functionality, the Mac Plus can still use ShrinkWrap to mount, convert
and verify disk image files. The Component Manager, available with
QuickTime 1.5 or System 7.1 or later, is required to handle compressed
or encrypted disk images.

SimpleBackup - a Finder alias-based backup utility
v1.61 (C) 1996-99 by Roland Gustafsson, All Rights Reserved
What is SimpleBackup?
SimpleBackup is a very simple and easy to use file backup utility. I wrote
it because I wanted a quick-and-easy way to back up all those files that are
spread out over the hard disk, in the preferences folder, in the documents
folder, certain folders and files in the applications folder, etc... I
decided that I didn't want to write a user interface for the utility, so I
got the idea of letting the Finder do the work for me by using aliases. The
result is a backup program that is actually easy to use! You simply
navigate through your hard disk and find the files or entire folders that
you want to backup that are buried in the System Folder, Applications,
Documents folders etc., and tell SimpleBackup about those files/folders by
using aliases.
Here is the step-by-step process:
1) Create a new folder on the Desktop and name it ÒBackup AliasesÓ.
2) Place a copy of SimpleBackup in this folder.
3) Navigate your hard disk and find those folders and files that you want
to backup. For each folder or single file, create an alias and place it in
the Backup Aliases folder.
4) Open the SimpleBackup application. The folders referenced by the
aliases are scanned to determine how many files and how much space is
required for the backup.
5) SimpleBackup will next ask for a destination folder. This folder
should be on a different volume than the folder/files represented by the
aliases.
6) There are four options that can be set: "Remember settings" remembers
the destination folder name and location, "Don't ask next time", "Skip
unchanged files"* and "Delete Destination Folder"
7) Click "Backup" and the backup process is started. If the folder
already exists on the destination volume, you are asked if you want to use
that folder for the backup.
* A file is assumed to be the same if it is exactly the same length (both
data & rsrc forks), same type/creator, same creation and modification date.
Version 1.61 changes:
* added $5 Register option for those who don't want to say "Thank You" or
would like to encourage me to update SimpleBackup ;-)

This application allows you to easily determine how your hard drive's space
is being used. It displays a pie graph of the folders and files on the hard
drive, allowing you to compare at a glance their relative sizes. You can
add items to the graph by drag-and-dropping them onto the window, or
through the "Add..." menu item. You can drag the graph around to see it
from different angles, or click on one or more items to get some statistics,
such as the amount of space taken up compared to the amount of data stored,
the number of files, the average file size, etc. You can also navigate
within the graph by double clicking on folders to view their contents.
Please examine the readme for more instructions.

touchMe is an application program to change the creation and/or modification date
time stamp of any Macintosh files or folders. It is like Unix command "touch".
To run the program, it requires System 7.1 or later. Under System 7.5, touchMe is
also AppleScriptable and allows to accept drag & drop operations. The program is
written under the Metrowerks C++ application framework of CodeWarrior PowerPlant.
And, the package includes a set of its source codes.
* Changes since v.1.1.2, published on February 10, 1997 - New. The modifier-key
operation was changed. To touch the files, just put them onto the application
icon or the touchMe window. To fill in the date time columns, please drag and
drop the file or folder over the columns with the command-key pressed. - Bug. It
sometimes failed to hilite the border of touchMe window when you drag the files
with command-key pressed. Fixed for sure! - New. The text strings can be put
shortly in the date time columns even if you do not hold down the command-key or
option-key. - Bug. The indicator (*) for holding modifier keys was flickering
unsteadily on the top-left corner of the window. Fixed. - New. Corrected the
right captions of check boxes and radio buttons for the readability. - New. The
design of the Apple Guide file was improved. It now starts to open the topics
list window, instead of browing every panel in sequence from the first. The
previous version of the styled help board was discontinued. - New. The software
is now constructed from a bunch of reusable codes, which forms a class library
common to my "puriTEXT" program.
touchMe is a freeware program. You can distribute it without any limitations nor
permissions.

Add this absurdly simple application to your Startup Items
folder, and you'll never have to worry about download clutter
again. Trash Bag creates and maintains a folder that looks like
a bag in front of your desktop trash can. Use it as the
destination folder for encoded Internet downloads, Web browser
cache files, or anything you doubt you'll need tomorrow, and
Trash Bag will put them in the Trash automatically.
Unlike the "real" Trash, your Trash Bag folder lets you open
what's inside it, and you can access it through standard file
dialogs. It's also great for making a temporary backup copy of
a document before editing - just Option-drag it to the bag.
Tomorrow, when you no longer need it, it'll be in the Trash.
Version 1.2.1 adds compatibility with Mac OS 8.0, and offers some
visual feedback to show you that it's working. Version 1.2.2
fixes a very minor bug.
This program is part of the AWOL Utilities 1.4 package,

ein Volume wird einfach per Drag and Drop auf ein Fenster von TurboFind
oder das Programm-Icon bestimmt. TurboFind durchsucht alle denkbaren
Dateien oder auch nur reine Textdateien, je nach Voreinstellung.
TurboFind zeigt nicht nur die Treffer in einer Liste an, sondern auch
die Textstellen. TurboFind zeigt den ersten Treffer in einer Datei an
oder jeden einzelnen Treffer in dieser Datei, je nach Voreinstellung.
Sie können den Dateiinhalt in einem Fenster von TurboFind anzeigen
lassen; wenn Sie Claris XTND auf Ihrem Computer installiert haben, sogar
mit Schriftstilen. Sie können die Datei auch von dem Programm, mit dem
das Dokument erzeugt wurde, öffnen lassen. Sie können die Datei aber
auch mit einem anderen Programm Ihrer Wahl öffnen lassen. Sie können
die Datei auch im Finder zum Vorschein bringen lassen. TurboFind
ermöglicht eine unkomplizierte Volltextsuche, unterstützt aber auch die
mächtigen Suchfunktionen von »grep«, wie es auf UNIX-Systemen zur
Verfügung steht. (Anleitung in der dem Programm beiliegenden
Dokumentation (englisch).) TurboFind gibt Hilfestellung durch

something in the overwhelming volume of information on your hard disks and
network, or even worldwide on the Internet.
Powerful and full-featured, UltraFind treats your Mac or network as an
information-rich file and text searchable database and provides options for
finding every conceivable type of Macintosh file. Its extremely fast text search
even includes a built-in Thesaurus, allowing you to find documents related to a
particular topic you are looking for, on your hard disk(s), in text indexes, and
also on the World Wide Web and Newsgroups.

Subject: Text Indexer 1.1.1 - Instant Text Searches!
Plug-in module for UltraFind 2.5.2
UF Text Indexer is a modern indexing engine for Mac & PowerPC that can pre-index
your documents making text searches not just fast - but instant.
Designed to allow text searches with Context display (shows the actual sentences
the words were found in), it indexes target sets of folders which can be anywhere
- on your hard disk or network, or even on CD-ROMs or on off-line volumes. (so
you don't need to have your files on-line to text search them!)
Also unlike normal indexers, it can search on *parts* of words as well as whole
words, and it will index all languages - including Japanese. It is also highly
accurate and will never produce false hits.
While indexing provides super-fast access to your documents, the downside is that
the indexing process itself is naturally very slow, and should be done either in
the background or at night (You would not want watch a few thousand documents
being indexed). However, because the UltraFind Text Indexer is *incremental*, it
does not need to re-index everything, instead it only indexes new or updated
documents, making re-indexing simple and very fast.
1.0 - 1.1.1 WHAT'S NEW?
Fixed problem that could cause a freeze after indexing large files Increased
indexing speed (now very much faster!) Added automatic remembering of folders to
index Improved incremental reindexing

Update-Virex Definitions is an AppleScript that does exactly what it
implies. It mounts the server volume, takes the Virus Definitions file
from a server volume and places it in the Virex Preferences folder on
your computer and unmounts the server volume. It will check the
creation date of the new file and compare it to the creation date of the
current Virus Definitions file. If they are different, the new file will
replace the older one. If they are the same, it will stop.

Subject: Verifile 1.3J FAT (Japanese version)
Verifile 1.3J is the Japanese version of Alessandro Levi Montalcini's original.
FAT VERSION - CONTAINS BOTH 680x0 AND NATIVE POWERPC CODE
* Verifile is a small freeware utility that calculates a checksum and a
CRC32 on both the data and resource forks of any file that's dropped on it.
This is useful if you want to compare two files that are not on the same
machine without having to copy them over a network or modem connection. If
the hexadecimal numbers displayed by Verifile match, chances are that the
two files are equal; Verifile automatically compares these numbers
for the last two files that were checked and tells you if they match or not.
* Verifile also displays the elapsed time to measure processor and disk
performance. The PowerPC code runs a lot faster than the 68K code if the
file to verify is on a RAM disk, while the speed improvement is smaller on
slower media.
New in version 1.3:
- Verifile now automatically checks if the two last files matched. Very
smart indeed...
This is freeware. Have fun!

From: Yellowsoft
Subject: Witchdoctor Pro 2.0.0
Witchdoctor Pro is a program that allows the user to manipulate files in
several way by means of plug-ins. It has three kind of plug-ins: Watcher
(the plug-in that does everything), Resource Module (a plug-in containing
resources) and Data Module (a plug-in containing data). You may create or
modify plug-ins, quickly and easily using Witchdoctor Pro itself.
When you drag a file onto Witchdoctor Pro then you may select manually the
plug-in that should work, or let Witchdoctor Pro choose the appropriate
one. Moreover, Witchdoctor Pro may create Witchcrafts! Witchcrafts are 68K,
PPC or FAT stand-alone applications containing a Watcher and, optionally, a
Resource Module and a Data Module. As bonus Witchcrafts may contain custom
About boxes.
Watchers and Witchcrafts can perform up to five series of actions and link
together all series. Without wasting words here are some of stuff you may
do by creating Watchers or Witchcrafts for Witchdoctor Pro:
Updater Applications with name and version checking. File's Finder flag
bits manipulation (stationery, locked, invisible and so on). Two ways or
one way file conversion (Type, Creator, Finder Infos) between specified
kind of files, example: you may create a Watcher for just swapping only
between SimpleText files and SimpleText Read Only and vice versa. Simple
Type, Creator and Name changing. Adding Data and Resource from Modules or
remove resource forks. Another example: up until now in order to create
self-extracting compressed archive, you need to open the document with
whatever program goes with it, then save it as a self-extractor. Now
instead, after you've created the appropriate plug-in, you can just drop
the document on Witchdoctor Pro (or on the created Witchcraft), and it will
output a self-extractor, and vice versa. File deletion. File launching.
File launching by means of alternate applications. File duplication. File
trashing. File copying. Alias creation. Internet Config post process.
And more...
In a few words plug-ins creation is limited only by your creativity. By
using a bit of fantasy you may create plug-ins for (little) security
erasing, or to launch a self-extracting archive after its creation, or to
open all dragged files by using one alternate application, or to open any
dragged file by using several alternate applications. And so on...
Witchdoctor Pro is Internet Config and Navigation Manager aware, it's
Appearance Savvy and requires at least System Seven to run. Think
different, use Witchdoctor Pro!

contents on a wrapper that you can insert into the disk case. Currently
MediaWrapper Light supports Zip, Jaz, CD-ROM, EZ Flyer, SyJet, SyQuest,
MagnetoOptical Disks, and SuperDisk.
Changes for MediaWrapper Light 2.0.3
* Added support for SuperDisk Drive
* Added 25 character text limit for MO and Superdisk to prevent text overlap.
* Fixed print problem which sometimes clipped the end off the printed page.
MediaWrapper Light Features
MediaWrapper Light offers the following features:
* Scan inside subfolders
* Prints Date Scanned and Space Available on disk
* Editable fields
* Picture can be changed for all wrappers.
* MediaWrapper Light stores all settings including a default picture which
can be set using the Preferences in the Edit menu.
* MediaWrapper Light is also much faster then previous versions.
MediaWrapper Light was created using REALBasic, and no longer relies on
Applescript. In addition to a significant speed boost, MediaWrapper Light
does not experience any of the incompatibilities with HP 600 and 800 series
printers which were found in the previous wrapper programs. MediaWrapper
Light also eliminates the -1757 "Unknown Dialect Error" and the "Please
locate the Facespan extension" error, which occasionally caused problems
with older versions.
If you encounter any other problems with this software please report them
to me so I can fix them.

ZapResForks v1.0.1
© 1997 Richard Bannister
WARNING!
ZapResForks can irreversibly damage a file. The author disclaims all
responsibility for what you might do to your files using this program.
This program should only by used by people who have read this
documentation in full. Use this program at your own risk.
What does it do?
ZapResForks allows you to delete the resource fork from files quickly
and easily.
Erm, what's a resource fork?
MacOS files are made up of two parts - the resource fork and the data
fork. In general, the data fork is used mainly by documents (although
PowerPC native applications use it for code also). The resource fork is
where all the interface elements of applications are found, and the
680x0 code.
So why on earth would you want to delete a resource fork?
The main reason you might want to use a utility like this is when you
are putting together WWW pages in SimpleText. SimpleText is a handy
text-editor (you're probably using it right now to read this document),
but for some reason it always saves font/style information in a resource
fork, even if there is no style information for a document.
Now, the way files are stored on a disk means that one allocation block
is needed for the resource fork and one for the data fork. This can mean
that SimpleText files, less than 5K in actual size, can take up more
than 40K on disk on larger drives! Deleting the resource fork from
SimpleText files will delete any style information that is there -
saving one allocation block from the disk. On my 1.2Gb hard disk, that
amounts to 19K saved per file.
