You're probably thinking of Anagrams by  Andrew Trevorrow.  It doesn't
seem to be at info-mac, but it's in the UMich archive at
util/text/anagrams1.2.cpt.hqx.

Karma Manager does have the best name for an Anagram Maker, though...

I have shareware program on my HD called "Anagrams 1.2" by Andrew 
Trevorrow and Nick Spencer from Australia. Must be what you're looking 
for. I don't know about ftp sites, but I got it from the UK mag
MacFormat disk 27 (August 95). 
Contact me if you want me to send it to you.

Hope this helps, regards,
Tom

An anagram program that I like very much is "Ars Magna". In fact, lots of
my colleagues like it too:

Ned Mantei             (eaten mind)
Igor Friedmann         (in random grief)
Claude Oehninger       (unheeding oracle)
Miriam Dahme           (her mad Miami)
Django Brunschwiler    (rewarding lunch jobs)

and many more.

Karma Manager (an anagram of Anagram Maker) is a good little anagram generator.
You'l find it at http://www.shareware.com/

That'll be Anagrams.  As co-author I'm biased, but you'll find that
Anagrams is faster and a lot easier to use than all the other anagram
generators (Ars Magna, Karma Manager, etc).

Check out http://www.kagi.com/authors/akt/anagrams.html for more info.

Anagram Genius, which is widely considered to be the best anagram
generating software, is currently being ported to the Mac by SRL Data.

It is commercial software (but not expensive) and should be out within a
couple of months.

You can read about it on http://www.demon.co.uk/genius/ag.htm . There is
also a form there where you can register an interest in the Mac version
and be notified on its release. The site also contains lots of anagram
examples and details of the Anagram Genius book (a book of anagrams
generated by the software).

One example: "Apple Macintosh" -> "Laptop machines"

He may be biased, but he's correct!  Anagrams is a *great* program.
