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. Author: Rocco Moliterno mailto:yellowsoft@geocities.com http://yellowsoft.home.ml.org/ New since version 2.1.0 Removed a bug causing, sometimes on 68K, the unexpected closing of AliasCrony. Replaced, on 68k code, SpinCursor with WatchCursor to avoid trouble with the most recent development libraries for 68k, who support badly this feature. Better support of Appearance Manager in ModalDialog filters. New trial time term. Adresses update. Minor changes.

This version (2.0.2) fixes a bug that caused out-of-memory problems. Data Rescue is a tool for recovering lost Macintosh volumes. It recovers files and folders from crashed hard disks, floppy disks, or removable cartridges. Recovered data are saved to another medium, leaving the original disk untouched. The main interest in Data Rescue is that the strategy for finding lost files is original, different from the strategies used by other tools like 'Norton Utilities'. Not only will it find your data in situations where the other tools fail, but it will recover them in a much better condition, restoring icons, dates and even folder hierarchy. The shareware fee for Data Rescue is $39. Until you register your copy with a personnal code, you can only recover 1 file per session. This allows you to test Data Rescue and check that it helps you in your particular situation. Works on all Macs, needs System 7 or better. Compatible with MacOS 8 and HFS+. Can be distributed freely for non-profit purposes in the form of this archive.

You can even add a monochrome icon of your choice); - use the "Print Stack..." and "Print Field..." menu commands of the "File" menu (these are ordinarily disabled in Apple's Player); - view and edit the contents of fields (even locked and hidden ones); - view and edit the scripts which make HyperCard stacks work; - add buttons to other stacks to give them added features; - other features over previous versions of HSP are described in an "HSP Pro Version History" file which is included.

First and foremost, NewsTicker is a PowerPC only application. If the need truly arises, I might consider making a 68K version too. NewsTicker is a utility for displaying the headlines from different web sites. It puts up a floating windoid where the headlines scroll by. Double-clicking a headline will open your browser to show the full story. It can also track web pages, showing when they have changed. NewsTicker uses a built-in parsing engine, which describes the format of web pages, and "teaches" NewsTicker which parts of the incoming HTML page are the headlines. Since the format of web pages may change, NewsTicker sometimes displays more information than you might want (or even less than what you expect), but it's still much better than having to launch your browser every time you want the news headlines... Using NewsTicker? Basically, launch it, and turn on the Balloon Help for any un-clear option. Email me with your questions or suggestions. Please note that holding down the Control key while clicking in the NewsTicker window provides access to the NewsTicker window Contextual Menu. Requirements * Mac OS 7.5.1 or better. * Open Transport 1.1 or better. * InternetConfig 1.2 or better (works better with Internet Config 2.0) Required if your network is behind a firewall/proxy server. In such a case, configure Internet Config properly, and NewsTicker will do the rest. Shareware Use NewsTicker for no longer than 14 days, then please register it or trash it. If you use register NewsTicker and email me with "I Use NewsTicker" in the subject of the email, I'll inform you of new versions of NewsTicker. Please email me bugs, compatability problems or suggestions. Registering NewsTicker entitles you to receive new versions, up to and including the next full version. Mac OS 7.5 and better, I believe). For more information, please read the Release Notes enclosed.

(It's named after Steve's not so well-known twin brother. :-)) Odd Jobs is simple to use: just drop one or more files/folders/disks onto a suitable "joblet" or a conveniently located alias. A number of useful joblets are included in the distribution: Alpha Doc - converts given text files to Alpha documents BBEdit Doc - converts given text files to BBEdit documents Count Items - counts files/aliases/folders Delete 4bit Icons - deletes 16-color custom icons from files Delete 68K Code - deletes 680x0 code from fat applications Delete Res Fork - deletes the resource fork from text files EPSF <-> TEXT - changes an EPSF file to TEXT and vice versa Mac Text - converts Unix/DOS text files to Mac format Same Names - finds all duplicate file names in folders/disks Send PS - sends PostScript files to the current printer Show Aliases - shows aliases (and detects bad links) Show Apps - shows applications and their creator codes Show Essential - shows files/folders with the "Essential" label Show Folders - shows the folder hierarchy in given folders/disks Show Long Names - shows file/folder names longer than 25 characters Show Weird Names - shows file/folder names with invisible characters Unlock Files - have a guess! Many other tasks are possible. It's a simple matter to modify an existing joblet to suit your own needs (just double click on it). Odd Jobs has many nice features. Probably the most interesting is its pattern matching capabilities. You can select files/folders whose names, types, creators or attributes match grep-like patterns. For example: The Show Weird Names joblet uses the pattern "*[\0-\31\127]*" to find all file/folder names containing any control character or delete. Show Long Names uses the pattern "?<26->" and Send PS selects file names matching the pattern "*.(ps|eps(|f))". Such patterns allow you to do sophisticated selections that can't be done using Find File. Odd Jobs is a fat application that will run on any Mac using System 7 or later and is fully compatible with OS 8.x. The shareware fee is $15. Visit for more info.

If you've ever deleted a paragraph or a file and then, three or four days later, wish you hadn't, you'll like this. Tell it what to track, e.g. all Illustrator documents in the graphics folder (but not in the scratch folder), all WordPerfect documents in the papers folder, and all FileMaker documents anywhere on your disk. Tell it 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 MacWrite II format, and I think not many people saw how valuable a saftey net it is. So, with the permission of the author, I've printed the docs to a reader format, and am resubmitting it to Mac archives. Shareware $35.
