Maybe no one is writing useful PD or shareware software for the
macintosh any more.  I agree with David Fry that for one reason or
another, comp.binaries.mac has had (almost) nothing but junk.  

The recent postings seem to be either highly-system specific (MPW
tools), or not serious (Humpback), or trivial little tools to change
creator types, for people who HAPPEN to have Word Processor X and
HAPPEN to encounter problem Y frequently.  Or the software is for
people who mainly have 4Mb or 5Mb of memory to burn (SSSwitcher).
