FastFontMenu is a Control Panel which speeds up the building of the Font Menu in most applications. It does this by sorting the font names in an internal array, rather than insertion sorting them in the menu the way older versions of the MacOS did . It also caches the list. This has two benefits. The first is that it'll be MUCH faster for every font menu after the first, as long as your fonts haven't changed (applications that have fonts in their resource forks will clobber the caching, but they've been warned not to do that by Apple's Developer Support for more than seven years). The second benefit is that after the first time, the memory requirements of FFM are much smaller. If you were seeing problems in a control panel or desk accessory, you should no longer see them as long as you've run an application that builds a font menu first. Important: FastFontMenu requires the Collection Manager, which is included with MacOS 8.5 or later. FastFontMenu is WorldScript savvy, and should give you a font menu that's sorted in the same order that you get without it installed. If you find that this isn't the case, drop me a note, and I'll look into it. FastFontMenu 2.2 is fully compatible with Mac OS 9.

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. What is new in ramBunctious 1.3.2: - Added Mac OS 9 compatibility.
