=========================================================
Freeware:
Disinfectant 2.4.: 5
Disinfectant catches all known viruses, its
INIT is 100% compatible--in short, John Norstad is greatly to be praised
for producing it. And it's totally free.
GateKeeper & GateKeeper Aid: 3
virus protection
MacCompress: 1
compression program
Public Folder: 1
A really good way to share files across an AppleTalk
network.It doesn't provide the services of AppleShare, but it makes
it easy to grab a file or set of files off another Mac in the office.
ResEdit 2.1: 1
edit your resources (customize menus, icons, etc.)
SuperClock! 3.9.: 4
Puts a clock in the menu bar. Also gives timer and alarm
features. Almost totally compatible.
Vaccine: 1
Shareware:
AppMenu: 1
gives you a popup menu of applications in MultiFinder
(nicer than dragging down to the end of the apple menu).
AppleSizer: 1
$19.95
If you do a lot juggling of applications AppSizer can be
very handy. It lets you assign the MultiFinder memory partition size
for an app as it's launch. So you can easily launch some app in a
800K paritition once, then launch it in a 6 MEG partition next - very
easily.
BinHqxDA 1.02: 1
unbinhex files
Boomerang 2.1: 5
for file navigation and more. From the Standard file dialog I can
reach many files I use on a recular basis by selecting the file in a
menu, create folders, find files and more.
cdevshrinker: 1
modifies control panel so you select CDEV's by name rather
than by icon (eliminates scrolling through that long list!)
Chicago-nice: 1
INIT, replaces standard Chicago font with a font which is
similar but (in my opinion) much more attractive.
Collapse (FKey): 1
shrinks window to just the title bar (like iconifying)
Compact Pro: 3
CptExpand: 1
automagically expands .sit files when you double-click them
DialogFilter: 1
With dialogfilter I don't have to use the mous in modal
dialogs. Typing a single key will do the job.
Diskeeper 1.2: 1
scan and report on duplicate files, empty files and
folders on disk
FileList 1.4: 1
disk librarian program
init cdev: 3
init manager
Init Scope and Init Tracker: 1
for analyzing init behavior.
KeyMenu: 1
lets me walk in the menus with the numeric keypad and the
arrow keys.
McSink: 1
mcvert: 2
text file utility/da
Moire (cdev): 2
screen saver
Programmer's Key: 1
eliminates the need to stretch around the computer to
get at the programmer's switch. It emulates the swith right on the
keyboard.
QuickView (DA): 1
text/binary file viewer
Remember(?): 1
Scroll2: 1
nicer scrollbars following - NeXT like windows from B/W macs
SitExpand: 1
sound Manager Package: 1
StuffIt 1.5.1:
TheNews: 1
Tidyitup: 1
organizes/groups icons in the system folder

of icons
