It gathers information about each file, such as path, name, size, dates, type, creator etc., during indexing. Plus it has the speed and power of a relational db. Duplicate files can be determined almost instantly based on three separate criteria. The database is freeware, and has no locked layouts or password protection. Modify it as you see fit. Needs Jon's Commands free OSAX - see read me. Version 3.6.1 Updates the Drop Catalog applet to OS 9.1 compatible. Sorry it took so long, but I only just received my (necessary) OS 9.1 disk and discovered some AppleScript changes that broke the script. A version compatible with the date settings of most European systems is available by email request.

Hogwasher functions equally well as either an online or offline newsreader. It implements the functionality that has become standard in all newsreaders in an intuitive, easy to use fashion. In addition, it offers several unique features designed to make participation in the Usenet community more enjoyable and less time consuming...and in many cases less expensive.

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. × × 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. × 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.

Choose patterned backgrounds for Macintosh Finder windows. You even get a handy way to navigate through windows and folders, so it's useful, too. MacAddict magazine rates Window Monkey among the top 20 Mac shareware programs, CNET calls the software "too cool," and MacWorld magazine chose it as a Pick of the Week. For Mac OS. Window Monkey adds background pictures or textures to any window in the Finder -- it's like "Desktop Patterns" or "Desktop Pictures", but for folder window backgrounds instead of the desktop. You can color-code your windows to see at a glance what they contain, or use wild patterns just for fun. Give your folder of "work stuff" a background that looks like a legal pad, or choose a background of hearts for that ZIP disk full of love letters. This program also helps you better manage your windows in every application (not just the Finder): You can use the handy Window Monkey menu to quickly go to any window in any application, even if it's buried beneath many other windows. Window Monkey also remembers recently used folders and lets you instantly jump to any open or recently used folder from an Open or Save dialog box. Many background patterns are included, and you can add as many as you wish by simply pasting or dragging your own pictures into the control panel. Window Monkey is compatible with System 7 and Mac OS 8 and later (including 9.X and the classic environment of Mac OS X). WhatØs New? Version 1.3.1 of Window Monkey includes these changes: Ñ The feature allowing you to switch folders in Open and Save dialogs by clicking on a background Finder window is now compatible with GraphicConverter 3.9 and later. Ñ The feature also can now be turned off or assigned a key combination. Ñ Fixes a conflict with PopChar on Mac OS 9.1. Ñ More than a dozen new patterns are included.

Bill, I may sound like a broken record here-- but OneClick can do what you want, and do it admirably. You can easily write a button that will take text (either selected or in a file) dropped on it, perform whatever manipulations you need (breaking things up into 100-line chunks is simple), and save it as you wish-- to another file, onto the Clipboard, into a resource, etc. Visit for more info. You will need to gain a little skill in its scripting language, EasyScript, but I assure you that this sort of task is one that you'll pick up in very little time. Moreover, the techniques can be used for future projects of this sort. And there's a mailing list full of extremely helpful people who can help debug a script: List-Subscribe: List-Digest: +- Saint John -+ | Tomorrow's signature: an ASCII-art rendition of Da Vinci's | +- "The Last Supper."
