Simply drag an application from the Finder onto an empty square in a dock and then drag documents onto it as normal. Double-click a docked application to launch it or bring it to the front. In addition, the docks can contain files, folders, disks and servers and there is also a option to display the currently running processes in a special dock. It requires at least System 7.5 (or 7.1 with Drag & Drop and the Scriptable Finder) and a Macintosh with a minimum of a Motorola 68020 or PowerPC 601 processor. The application is distributed as a fat binary with both regular 68K and native PowerPC versions included.
Binary Pump 2.11 FAT.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:B:Binary Pump 2.11 FAT.sit 2.11 0 381K 6/08/95 Binary Pump 2.11 FAT - Binary Pump is a Macintosh utility which performs two basic functions- Identifying binary files and filing files into user defined folders. The identification of binary files is rather trivial for most Macintosh users, but it is extremely useful for people who frequently exchange files with IBM PC, Unix, VMS, or any other nonMacintosh computer. Binary Pump attempts to solve these users problems by analyzing the contents of these files and setting their file type and creator correctly. In the process of organizing (or reorganizing) their files, people often designate certain folders for certain files. Binary Pump memorizes all those shoulds so that when you give it a file, it puts it in the...
AutoMenus Pro 3.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:A:AutoMenus Pro 3.0.sit 3.0 0 67K 6/02/95 AutoMenus Pro 3.0 - AutoMenus Pro is a control panel that makes menu use (especially those pesky hierarchical menus) much easier. It can be set so that menus will drop down when the cursor is placed in the menu heading or it can be set to drop down a menu after a click of the mouse. Once down, a menu can be put back up automatically just by moving the mouse outside the menu or with the click of the mouse. What makes AutoMenus Pro so useful is that the menus stay down without the need to hold down the mouse button. Once you get used to AutoMenus Pro you will wonder why Apple didn't include something like this as a standard part of the system software.
DropConversion 1.5.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:D:DropConversion 1.5.sit 1.5 0 34K 6/02/95 DropConversion 1.5 - DropConversion performs one of the most common functions needed by Macintosh power-users and developers - converting file types. DropConversion reduces this chore into a simple drag-and-drop activity. Whether you are converting 1 file or 1000, DropConversion handles them with simplicity and ease. DropConversion does more than just convert file types, though. It can also convert files to / from stationery, visible / invisible, locked / unlocked, or name locked / unlocked. Finally, DropConversion will also install a custom 'vers' #2 resource (The string seen just under the name in the Finder's Get Info box) into any file.

While it is more useful if you are using an external battery like a Technggin PowerPlate or the VST ThinPack, it also works great with internal batteries. Threshold allows you to manually control the threshold voltages for these warning messages, so that they come up when you want them to. Threshold requires System 7.0 or later. Threshold has been tested on most current flavors of PowerBooks. It will not work on a Duo.
PowerBook Tweak 1.0.3a.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Powerbook:PowerBook Tweak 1.0.3a.sit 1.0.3 0 65K 5/30/95 PowerBook Tweak 1.0.3a - PowerBook Tweak is a utility for the 500 series PowerBooks that gives you more control over the power conservation settings than Apple's PowerBook control panel. Like the PowerBook control panel, PowerBook Tweak lets you define power conservation settings that are always in effect. However, PowerBook Tweak also lets you define settings for specific applications. Why is this important? I found that in day-to-day use, having a single set of settings was inflexible - I was always bringing up the PowerBook control panel to tweak the values for whatever application I happened to be using. For example, I'd bring it up to increase the hard drive spindown time for Word, or turning off CPU
Insomniac 1.0.3a.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Powerbook:Insomniac 1.0.3a.sit 1.0.3 0 65K 5/30/95 Insomniac 1.0.3a - This application works only on those Macintosh models that can wake themselves up (Macintosh Portable, PowerBook 100, or PowerBook Duo). The PowerBook or Portable Control Panel provided by Apple only allows you to enter a single wakeup time. This prevents you from scheduling multiple wake-up sessions. For example, if you wanted to send your faxes at 1-00am, and then download some files at 2-00am, you'd have to stay up until 1-00am, and reset the wakeup timer manually. Insomniac is a very convenient program for automatically sending faxes or email in the middle of the night. Insomniac allows you to program up to fifty wakeup events (only two until you register it for $10).
SpinDown 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Powerbook:SpinDown 1.0.sit 1.0 0 10K 5/30/95 SpinDown 1.0 - Have you ever run your PowerBook on batteries and had to wait until the system spun down the hard drive automatically? Considering that the hard drive is one of the hungriest power hogs of the system, that isnt so great. There are a few utilities to spin down the drive, but all the ones I've seen require you to use the mouse, or pull down a menu, etc. Included here are 5 copies of FKEY, each with a different ID number. So, if you want to spin down the hard drive by typing command-shift-6, you should use the one numbered 6. If you want to type command-shift-5, use the one numbered 5.
Control Strip Toggle 1.2.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Control Strip:Control Strip Toggle 1.2.sit 1.2 0 13K 5/30/95 Control Strip Toggle 1.2 - I really like Apple's new Control Strip program. It keeps everything I need handy right there at the bottom of my screen. The only thing I don't like is that sometimes it just gets in the way! Even when it's collapsed, sometimes that little stub is right where I need to click. Anyway, here's a solution - Included in this package are two different programs that do basically the same thing. The first, Control Strip Toggle, is a tiny application which will toggle the Control Strip on and off. The other program is an FKEY resource. Doesn't anyone remember these things? They seem to have fallen on hard times, but are still really useful for doing things like this. Easy to use.
BalloonPopper 1.1.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:B:BalloonPopper 1.1.sit 1.1 0 11K 5/30/95 BalloonPopper 1.1 - I have a love-hate relationship with Balloon Help. It can be really useful when I am checking out a new program, (and don't feel like reading the manual) but it can be excruciatingly annoying when left on. Anyway, here's a solution - Just use one of these BalloonPopper FKEYs! Whenever you hit the key, Balloon Help will be toggled on or off. Included are 5 copies of the resource, each with a different ID. number. So, if you want to toggle Balloon Help by typing command-shift-6, you will use the one numbered 6. If you are using System 7.1 or greater you can stick one of these in the Fonts folder (yes, I know, they aren't fonts, but the System thinks they are). You don't even need to reboot. Otherwise use

Besides the basic sortings that dropping files over the System Folder already does, System Dropper also moves the following kinds of files - Control Strips go into the Control Strip Modules folder. Applications, DAs, and any kind of alias file go into the Apple Menu Items folder (with an option to go into the Startup items folder). Apple Scripts go into the Scripting Additions folder inside your Extensions folder.

Memory Minder 1.4.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:M:Memory Minder 1.4.sit 1.4 0 89K 5/26/95 Memory Minder 14 - Memory Minder is a RAM management tool. Its purpose is to allow you to reduce or increase the memory requirements for application programs. How does Memory Minder work? Each Macintosh application has a minimum and a preferred amount of memory (called a partition) that it requests when you open it (by double-clicking). Not all applications make good use of the memory they request; sometimes it goes unused. Memory Minder keeps track of how much memory applications request and then actually use. It lets you adjust the preferred memory size for the applications you've recently used. By doing so, you should be able to keep more applications open simultaneously.

It does exactly what it says - It displays the current CPU speed in Megahertz. I originally wrote this utility to aid me in developing MyBattery, but I've posted it as a resource for anybody to use if you ever question the speed your computer is running at. Most PowerBooks and Duos can be configured to run at two speeds - full speed, which is obviously faster, and reduced speed, which is slower but prolongs your battery life. CPUSpeedDisplay reads the current CPU speed and displays it. That's all! This program runs on any portable Macintosh (Macintosh Portable, PowerBooks, or Duos). It is freeware.

But now Substitute 1.52 can also lock/unlock files and is able to make full aliases. Substitute has also, since version 1.0, improved ability to move files: it moves, now, even locked files and remove, optionally, files with the same name, present in the new location (if the already present file in the new location is unlocked, otherwise Substitute returns error -45). Should someone desire the deletion of locked files, please ask me; however I discourage this - security is very important! If you want to move and rename a locked file, Substitute moves it but leaving the original name.

The basic premise is this - what is the most boring activity on the Macintosh? That's right... pulling down a menu. Background animations stop, processes freeze, and in general, the machine just waits, slobberingly, for your next command. Well, in the interests of making things a little bit more annoying, we created Musical Menus. Musical Menus is just that. Put it in your Extensions Folder and restart. From then on, whenever you pull down a menu, Musical Menus will track your every move, evaluating its psychoharmonic frequency based on which item is selected. This done,...
UnRound.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:U-Z:UnRound.sit 0 6K 5/16/95 UnRound - Tired of the Mac being too friendly? Dont you wish that it would be less curvy? Well, one of the nuts at The Syzygy Cult thought so, so he made UnRound. UnRound will change all of the rounded buttons to simple rectangles, as well as making things like the Puzzle DA square. This actually shows you how much thought Apple put in while making the MacOS interface, and how little things can make a big difference.

This will only be useful for people with active matrix screens This is a good program to run on a Powerbook before you buy it. Afterwords, it might only make you sad. Luckily, I only have one pixel stuck! Make sure there's no lint...

Mac system extensions follow a set of de facto standards for displaying their startup icons, but some are a little more capable than others. Almost everyone's icons march horizontally across the screen very well these days, but some still fall apart when they reach the right hand side of the screen and have to start a new row above the first.

It should work with any drive which uses Apple's CD-ROM driver (although, the volume control will not work with the CDSC drive). It does not work with some Toshiba drives as they are mounted on the SCSI bus until after the control strip modules are loaded. I assume that this limitation applies to some other non-Apple drives.

NoShutButt 0.9.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:N-O:NoShutButt 0.9.sit 0.9 0 20K 4/25/95 NoShutButt 0.9 - When Apple released the System 7.5 Upgrade they thought they were doing us a favor (or at least being consistent) by making the Power on key a Power off key, too. Thats actually a pretty good idea, (as are many of Apples ideas) except that some of us use the key for other purposes. It seems that Apple is in the habit of not giving us a choice (like a Control Panel setting) of whether or not we want to use some of the features they feel they should include (like zoom rectangles in the Finder, but thats another story). With NoShutButt you can disable the Power off key. You can re-enable it later, if you want. This is NOT an extension, because there is no reason to make it one.

Drag-and-drop is a cool new way of moving data between applications, but not everybody supports it yet. Hence, you can use ClipStation as a way station between drag-and-drop and old-style cut/copy/paste. When ClipStation is frontmost, it displays a window, showing the current contents of the Clipboard. You can drag a Finder clipping file into this window, and it will be copied to the Clipboard. You can then switch to a non-drag-savvy application, and paste it in there. You can also copy something to the Clipboard, then bring ClipStation to the front, and drag the clipboard contents out of its

If so, you might have experimented with the blinking rate to make it more conspicuous. If that is not enough for you, this little system extension could be helpful. It draws the caret with a line two pixels thick instead of only one pixel. This System Extension might be useful for PowerBook owners. There are a few utilities that change the shape of the mouse pointer when it is over a text field (insertion beam, a vertical line with two little horizontal bars, one at the top, one at the bottom) to something more conspicuous.

Therefore, List Launcher poses little threat to compatibility (e.g. it will work even when you boot up with extensions off). Further, List Launcher uses RAM only when it is open. One additional feature about List Launcher that was a primary motivating factor in its development is that ALL of its operations can be performed from the keyboard. The mouse is optional. But why bother to have a utility to launch files if it is itself an application? The answer to this question lies in the use of an FKEY...

('ppat' = desktop pattern.) Good examples of a ppat file are any of the shareware pattern utilities (like Before Dark) and the Desktop Patterns application in your Control Panels folder if you have System 7.5. (More on that later.) Randopatamizer is mind-bogglingly simple to use. Double-click on it the first time you use it, and you will be asked to pick a source file. Randopatamizer will then pick a pattern out of the file you choose and set it as the desktop pattern. Now whenever Randopatamizer is opened, it will pick you a new pattern. This breaks up the monotony of the same boring

With AutoCat, you only have to write the name of your disks on their label. To find a file, you can uses the Find... command from the Finder as if your file was on your hard disk. How does AutoCat catalog disks ? While you eject a disk, AutoCat creates a folder (with the same name as your disk and with a customized AutoCat icon). It puts in this folder aliases of all the files of the disk. AutoCat maintains the hierarchy of your floppy disk - it copies folders of the disk and, instead of copying files, makes aliases and puts them in their folders.
System 7 Speed Mouse.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:S:System 7 Speed Mouse.sit 7 0 4K 4/16/95 System 7 Speed Mouse - System 7 Speed mcky. The enclosed resource is a modified mcky. Its values have been changed for Speed. If you have a large monitor (19 or bigger), Im sure that youve longed for a cursor that would zip across the screen without several lift&drops of the mouse. I've moved the top four speeds to the bottom and created three new turbo speeds. If you currently use any speed below the fourth fastest, you may want to further customize the resource to allow a larger range of accelerations. In addition to the mcky resource, there is a RdMe resource. Additional instructions can be found there. You'll need to use ResEdit to do this.

Real Eject solves the problem encountered by almost all new users when trying to eject a disk. The most logical choice, choosing the Eject command either from the Special menu in the Finder or in file dialogs, does not work properly, as it leaves a ghost or grayed image of the disk behind. Soon the message Please insert the disk <name> appears, forcing the user to re-insert the disk. Some users resort to shutting down the Macintosh to eject the disk and avoid this problem. As an alternative, we suggest using Real...

Other PowerBook users can have different sets when they use a different sized main monitor. As a simple example, let's look at the location of the Trash icon in the Finder. Some people like to move the Trash icon to the very bottom right corner of the screen (or some other non-standard location). If you do this on a 640x400 display and then later use a 640x480 monitor, the Trash icon will no longer be in the bottom right corner, it will be an inch or two up from the bottom, since the Finder remembers where you put it. Dockernaut helps solve this problem!

INITs,the Sys Heap and you2.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:G-L:INITs,the Sys Heap and you2.sit 2 0 9K 3/21/95 INITs,the System Heap and you 2 - This document came about because of the System Heap/INIT paranoia I've been seeing lately. It represents the total sum of the knowledge I have accumulated from writing system level software (INITs/cdevs/System Extensions/Control Panels) for 3 years, and is accurate based on my experience and the experiences of many other Macintosh programmers. It will help you make rational decisions about resolving INIT conflicts, dispel some common myths, hopefully teach you a thing or two, and tell you what is really going on with all this System Heap stuff.

Just drag Discolour onto your System Folder icon and restart your Macintosh to activate it. Discolour uses less than 1K of memory once it is installed, and was optimized so that it won't slow your Macintosh down, so the cost of having beautiful color disk icons is minimal.

ASoaK.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:A:ASoaK.sit 0 19K 3/19/95 ASoaK - This is a sort, a barely-adequate nevertheless robust kind of a sort. It's A Sort of a Kind (hereafter aSoaK for brevity's sake). It's robust in that it will sort arbitrarily large files. It's barely-adequate because it implements only the bare minimum of features I envision for a useful sorting utility. I produced it this way, in this form, because I, personally, need something now, and because I don't have time to do more than this right now.

If you simply Drag & Drop files on the Amanuensis icon, new files will be created in the same folder as the original. These new files will have the extension .DUP appended to their names.
Randomizer.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:R:Randomizer.sit 0 20K 3/19/95 Randomizer - Randomizer is SYSTEM 7 _MOSTLY_. Its normal interface is Drag and Drop, so you are best off not using it with earlier Systems. But this is being written to solve a particular problem, and I don't know the configuration of the person with the emergency, so I built in one very stupid fall-back mechanism that makes it possible to use Idiot Randomizer in a crippled way with System 6. See the work-around described below. If you double-click on it from a System 6 machine and you _haven't_ used the work-around, you will get an error message and the software will quit gracefully. To use Idiot Randomizer _with_ System 7, simply select the files you want to randomize and drag them on the program's icon or an

It sports background formatting, but only when the new Thread Manager is present. You should notice that Disk Charmer allows switching among applications while operating. This happens because I use asynchronous reads and writes from/to the disks. Macs with I/O chips (IIfx, Quadra 800, 900, 950, and probably the Workgroup Servers) do not slow down while reading the entire disk. This version of Disk Charmer was written because the author wanted a drag & drop eraser with every possible option and a nice, easy to use interface. Requires System 7.

This control was inspired by Windows. Whoah! you say, Why write Windows functionality for a great machine like the Macintosh? I use Windows at work and became fond of this functionality (Well, actually, I got so use to it that I found myself doing it on my Mac). So I was inspired to write this control panel. So one afternoon I sat down and wrote an system extension to do this. Includes 68K and a PPC version.

That's right, nom de plume is another of those 'you can't live without this' applets, whose sole purpose in digital life is to create aliaii to files! The twist is that nom de plume creates the aliaii on the desktop, without an icon and the aliaii are locked. The idea is that you can create a palette of your most used apps at the bottom of your desktop. Perfect for drop launching! The aliaii are locked so you can also double-click on them without having the Finder think you want to rename them. Very cool!

You just copied a bunch of stuff from a CD-ROM to a hard drive, and all your aliases are messed up. Or, you just restored from a backup, and all your aliases are all messed up. Apple's Alias Manager isn't designed to handle situations like the above, where you copy files and aliases to those files, and expect the newly copied aliases to 'point' to the newly copied files. Sure you can manually fix the aliases--but if you have any more than about 5, it becomes a pain to wander through the folders, clicking on aliases, Get Info, Find original, etc. And, it doesn't always work, forcing you to create new ones. Enter Alias Repointer. Now there's an easier way!!

You laugh, saying, go right ahead and try it, foolish user of obsolete hardware. So your Amiga friend pulls down a menu. His jaw drops. He accuses you of crimes involving unreleased system software and the local elite BBS. No, you gasp between high-pitched giggles, I have Menutasking Enabler installed!
MemWin 2.01.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:M:MemWin 2.01.sit 2.01 0 40K 2/02/95 MemWin 2.0 - If you have seen the new Speech Manager, then you know that a background only application can put a window onto the screen (contrary to popular belief). The new Text Services Manager in System 7.1 offers documented hooks for creating, disposing, and handling floating windows. These windows are layer independent (they are floating above all programs and windows). This program puts up a TSM floater that tracks free and max memory for both the current program and the machine. It *requires* System 7.1 or later to run, but has a relatively small memory footprint and works on all of the machines (68k and PPC) I have tried it on.
FinderControl-Launcher.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:F:FinderControl-Launcher.sit 0 12K 2/02/95 FinderControl/Launcher - This is a package of two FKEYs bundled together. They are - Launcher 1.0 and FinderControl 1.0. They were written with the intention of using them in conjunction with each other. FinderControl can quit and relaunch the Finder on demand. This is an advantage over all the similar FKEYs that I have seen, as they just quit the Finder and leave you no way to relaunch it but to quit all open applications. Launcher brings up the StandardFile dialog, wherein you select an application and click on Open to launch it. With this, you can launch new applications without having to return to the Finder. To install these two FKEYs, you will need ResEdit or an FKEY installer/remover.

Currently, the only way to get this to work is to use one of the two Cron applications. REQUIRES OKEY DOKIE and Scriptable Finder. Added the dialog box to make it possibly nicely interupt the shutdown procedure. If you are going to be away from the server for sure, you need the Control Panel Okey Dokie to automagically click the OK button.

The upper number with the memory chip icon is the amount of RAM available for new applications. The lower number with the hard disk icon is the amount of disk space available on the startup drive. Click on the module to see a menu of available space on all mounted drives. SoBig is sensitive to whether the hard disk is spinning or not and will not update the available disk space unless the drive is spinning. The drive will spin up when the list of all mounted volumes is displayed. Of course, you need Apple's Control Strip or Desktop Strip by Men and Mice to use SoBig. Revised to consume far less CPU cycles.

The INIT installs the code resource, which modifies the shutdown/restart behavior of the Macintosh to include ejection of discs in Apple CD-ROM drives. The control panel file allows the user to modify several aspects of the whole package's operation, such as whether or not Ejector will become active and/or display its icon at startup, whether or not an alert reminding you to extract your disc is displayed during a full shutdown, and how much time should be allowed for disc extraction at shutdown if the alert option is off.
Clean Up Finder Windows.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:AppleScript:Clean Up Finder Windows.sit 0 17K 1/24/95 Clean Up Finder Windows - Clean Up Finder Windows is an AppleScript droplet which adjusts the view of folders dropped onto it and does a Clean Up Window. It also moves all subfolders of folders dropped onto it to a position relative to the dropped folder, adjusts their view and cleans them up, moves and cleans subfolders of subfolders, etcetera. The position of folders dropped onto the droplet are not changed; these are used to determine the position given to windows of subfolders. To test it out, drop a floppy disk with a lot of files and folders of which you have a backup onto it, and watch the action.

It is especially nice when there is so little that Finder won't let you use About This Macintosh... It even tracks System activity. RAMGauge is now a Control Panel. It allows itself to be switched on and off, moved around, its display configured, and other such sundry accomplishments. You don't even need to restart for it to install - just open the control panel and it installs itself automatically. I hope that this will make everyone's computing a little less harried. It is even neater because in Total Memory mode it tends to track System activity as well.

FolderIconCleaner 1.1.3 FAT.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:F:FolderIconCleaner 1.1.3 FAT.sit 1.1.3 0 38K 1/10/95 Folder Icon Cleaner 1.1.3 FAT - Folder Icon Cleaner is a small utility that lets you correctly get rid of those space and time wasting custom icons, stuck right there on your folders. Let me explain why I say correctly. The Finder keeps every folder icon in a separate hidden file. The known versions of the Finder (7.0, 7.0.1, 7.1) do not delete this file when removing a custom folder icon. They only delete the icon resources from the file. Note that no other information is kept into these Icon files. Folder Icon Cleaner correctly removes the icon by deleting the file (and by updating the Use custom icon attribute of the folder). No data is lost, you only gain a little more free space on your disk. Power PC Native.

LoadADrive 1.1.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:G-L:LoadADrive 1.1.sit 1.1 0 22K 12/26/94 LoadADrive 1.1 - LoadADrive is a simple utility to mount a CD-ROM that wasn't switch on at startup without restarting your Macintosh. A bit more detailed - The Apple CD-ROM driver (I don't know if other CD-ROMs work the same) scans the SCSI bus for a CD-ROM drive at startup. If it does not find one (because the drive is switched off) the CD-ROM driver will not be loaded. The driver is necessary to access the CD-ROM, you cannot use an utility that can mount hard disks to mount a CD-ROM. So you have to restart your Macintosh. LoadADrive can load the Apple CD-ROM driver at any time! Requires System 7 or higher, and has been tested with Apple CD-ROM drivers 4.01 and 5.0.

It tiles, stacks or stripes the Finder's windows which makes it much easier to find things on your desktop. The control panel allows you to assign any hot key sequence that you desire to any of TileCitys commands. There is also an auto-tiling feature for some of TileCitys tiling modes which automatically stacks Finder window's as they are opened. TileCity only has a handfull of functions so the best way to find out what it does is to try them. Just drag TileCity to your System Folder, reboot the machine, open a few Folders, and then select each command from the Tile menu. Requires System 7.
LOBE 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:G-L:LOBE 1.0.sit 1.0 0 20K 12/23/94 LOBE 1.0 - Less Obnoxious Bus Error (LOBE) is a cdev that replaces EvenBetterBusError. Like ebbe, it stuffs $50ff8001 into address 0, thus catching all dereferences of 0. In addition, LOBE stuffs this magic value into 4, thus catching a few more bad programs. The big change with LOBE is you can change LOBE's behavior when it detects a write to 0 or 4. You can have it call DebugStr and stop (typical ebbe behavior), call DebugStr and go (less obnoxious), or just ignore the writes (for those times when you have to demo your broken applications to your manager).

When using multiple applications, switching between them becomes tedious when having to repeatedly click on the windows of inactive processes, or use the Application menu. TaskMan adds this same functionality to specific key combinations which quickly switch processes without wearing a hole in your mouse pad. TaskMan does this by adopting a similar interface that has been successfully used on other platforms.

It was designed to be used in conjunction with FileMaker Pro, but it can be used with any application capable of sending apple events to other applications. Requires System 7.0.
Malph 2.3.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:M:Malph 2.3.sit 2.3 0 38K 12/20/94 Malph 2.3 - Use Malph to switch between applications under System 7 instead of pulling down the application menu. To switch to another app, simply click on the application icon. Malph also has a small indicator showing what process is currently front most, which updates even if you click in application windows to switch between processes. If you have the Drag Manager installed on your Macintosh (part of 7.5), you can drop Finder icons on an application tile, and the files will open with that application. This is handy when you want to quickly open a file without using the Open... command from within the application. A good way to clean up your desktop too!

How often do you wish that items like Restart and Empty Trash had command keys? For those of you who do not know what command keys are, they are the letters after a menu item. When these letters are selected on the keyboard, in tandem with the command key, they provide the same reaction as when you select an item from the File menu for instance. If you do not currently use command keys, learn to use them because, they save time and are very cool! If you already know how to use them, then be prepared to be blown away at the genius of this patch. This patch requires System 7.5 (no exceptions).

It is called the PowerManager. This can sometimes become corrupted and needs to be reset. You may have heard of the Duo battery bug. Duos sometimes decide not to charge their battery anymore - you need to reset the PowerManager. Apple recommends pressing down the power switch at the back of the machine for 15 seconds. This doesn't always work. I resorted to unplugging the backup battery deep inside my computer, but this is not a good way for those who don't like taking their machine apart! Run the program, click OK and it resets your PowerManager.

It compiles, it decompiles, it executes and it returns results. What more could you want? ScriptServer is NOT an editor. It can be used from other editors though. Notably, the MPW Shell. This way you can edit scripts that are larger than 30,000 characters and support search and replace. MPW's even scriptable, although in some weird moon man language. You can compile scripts from the AppelScript Script Editor but you'll need to convert the MPW include script to AppleScript. If you do, drop me a copy. I imagine that it would be easy to call ScriptServer from BBEdit too. Maybe someone'll write an extension...

It makes most, but not all, applications controllable through their menu commands, using program linking (Apple events). Any script, or any program equipped to send Menu events, can query and execute the menu commands of any compatible application on any Macintosh on the network. Version 1.2 adds an AppleScript scripting addition ('osax') and a sample script that shows you how to control an application through its menus. It also supports script recording by (optionally) making applications send Menu events to themselves. You can now record menu selection actions directly into

Maybe converts a Finder alias file to give it an additional effect. Converted aliases do more than just point to the original item. They can - play a sound, open or print every item in the target folder, open some other item (document, application, folder, or whatever) first, send an Apple event to another program, make a startup item optional, by questioning the user, or checking the state of a key. Maybe doesnt solve your problems directly, but it gives you the power to do a lot of things youve been wanting to do. Part of the AWOL utilities.

To mortals, this means ScriptSynch can automatically launch applications, open files, or run scripts when specific applications launch or quit. This is useful for running a startup script whenever an application loads, attaching one application to another so they launch and quit at the same time (Eudora and Nuntius, for example), or tracking application usage through scripting. A little contrary to its name, ScriptSynch works fine without AppleScript, although it works best in conjunction with it. Requires System 7.

While TechTool makes these tasks easier by allowing the user to perform them without memorizing cryptic keystrokes, it also accomplishes these tasks better than with traditional methods. TechTool provides a better solution to rebuilding the desktop than the common method. It actually deletes the original desktop. The next time the Finder loads, it will create a brand new desktop file. Also displays the date the computer was manufactured and the total hours of use. Display and print full system information.

Features - Fat Binary. Can read selected portions of a PowerTalk letter, including sender, subject, time sent, and text content. Letters can be read as they come in, on command, or by drag and dropping particular letters. It's AppleScriptable. Works cheerfully in the background. Only takes 150K of memory. Full balloon help. Shortcoming - Messages that PowerTalker fools with are marked as read. This stinks, but there's no way around it with the current APIs. When Apple released the super duper improved APIs for AOCE, I'll fix this.
Extensions Manager 3.0Patch.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:E:Extensions Manager 3.0Patch.sit 3.0 0 16K 10/13/94 Extensions Manager 3.0Patch - This patcher will add the option of changing the Fonts your system just like Extensions Manager changes Control Panels and Extensions presently. If you have a number of font sets and you prefer not to have to load them in memory all the time, this is an neat solution for assisting you in managing fonts. If you're a power user and discovered how to load resources using the Fonts folder (I have my FKEY files set to look like font suitcases) you can enable/disable these from loading as well. This patch is actually similar to my previously released patch for Extensions Manager 2.0. I urge you to share this patch with any other Extensions Manager 3.0 user that would benefit for it.
SafeLauncher 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:S:SafeLauncher 1.0.sit 1.0 0 19K 10/12/94 SafeLauncher 1.0 - SafeLauncher is a tiny application that will launch another app after making some system checks for you. Specifically, SafeLauncher will optionally check one or more of the following - Verify that 32-bit addressing is ON, Verify that 32-bit addressing is OFF, Verify that Quadra caches are OFF and Set the main screen depth for you. So what? I still have a big addiction to lots of the older games that haven't been made 32-bit clean or don't work with the 68040's cache. By launching the app. from this program, I am sure that the settings I need are correct for any of those older games. Within about 10 seconds with ResEdit, you can configure SafeLauncher to ensure that these settings are true before a

By putting aliases of EZ FloppyEject at several places of the desktop (such as the top-left and bottom-left corner of the screen), your hand does not have to leave the mouse. You just need to move the cursor to the nearest EZ FloppyEject alias and double-click the alias to eject the disk! You can even put an alias of EZ FloppyEject into every floppy disk you have, when you are done with your disk, simply double-click the alias of EZ FloppyEject (in the floppy) to eject the disk. This is not a fancy program, but it is useful when your hand can't leave the mouse!

FYI 1.1b3.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:F:FYI 1.1b3.sit 1.13 0 24K 9/24/94 FYI 1.1b3 - FYI is a good way to display startup announcements. This way, you can have important information read, each time the computer is started up. Placed in the Startup Items folder, upon launch it simply displays a dialog box with lines of text in it. The user can dismiss the dialog box by clicking a button (or pressing Enter/Return), or it will go away by itself after about 3 minutes. Of course, we could have simply used a TeachText/SimpleText document in the Startup Items folder, but it wouldn't work quite as nicely. Even if we locked the file to prevent editing, it still just wouldn't look quite as attention-getting.

NamedFolder 1.2.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:N-O:NamedFolder 1.2.sit 1.2 0 7K 9/20/94 NamedFolder 1.2 - NamedFolder7 is a system 7 version of the old NamedFolder for system 6. It is an extension that makes creating folders in the Finder a little bit simpler and more natural. Typically, when you create a new folder in the Finder either by using the Command N keystroke or the New Folder menu item, a folder with the name untitled folder appears in the Finder window. Then you must rename the folder and then the folders are reordered alphabetically - if the current view is 'by name. When using NamedFolder7, choosing New Folder in the Finder will bring up a dialog box in which the name of the folder can be inserted. After pressing return, a folder with that name is created in the current Finder directory.

Icon•Filer 1.0b9 FAT.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:G-L:Icon•Filer 1.0b9 FAT.sit 1.09 0 52K 9/13/94 Icon-Filer 1.0b9 FAT - Icon-Filer is a simple drag-and-drop utility that converts resource files full of icons into folders full of dummy files with the icons pasted on as custom icons. It was written for a friend who had recently come across a whole mess of icons stored in resource files. She could handle cutting and pasting in the Get Info window but dealing with ResEdit or another resource copying program was a little too much. That fateful day, Icon-Filer was born. An unintended bonus is that Icon-Filer can suck the icons out of most any file, including your favorite application! Icon-Filer is a fat binary application, meaning that it can run native on both 68K-based Macs and PowerPC-based.

File Tracker 1.5.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:F:File Tracker 1.5.sit 1.5 0 276K 9/09/94 File Tracker 1.5 - File Tracker is a utility package that can watch folders or files on your hard drive or other people's hard drives over a network. If these items ever change, File Tracker can execute a set of actions on the files or folders involved in the change. Unlike other utilities, File Tracker can tell exactly what kind of change took place when an item changes, and pinpoint the files or folders involved. As a result, it can take precise action based on the specific event that occurred. You can, for example, set up a certain response for newly arriving files in a folder, and another response for files in that folder that may be modified. File Tracker includes a built-in set of actions.
TrashMan 4.0.5.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:T:TrashMan 4.0.5.sit 4.0.5 0 96K 9/07/94 TrashMan 4.0.5 - TrashMan is a system enhancement designed for System 7 and beyond. TrashMan works like an electronic compost heap, deleting files from your trash after they have aged beyond a setpoint that you specify, in days, hours, and minutes. (For example, I keep mine set at 1 day, so I always have exactly the last 24 hours worth of trash in my trashcan.) TrashMan works with all local mounted volumes except floppies. If you use TrashMan, you need never choose Empty Trash from the Special menu ever again, and yet still receive the benefits of the new non-emptying trash in System 7.0.

The intention was to make more space for items such as SuperClock which can be pushed off the screen by long application menus. The extension fulfilled an immediate need on small screens. I have now decided to release Version 1.0.1 which should be more robust. I have also included the source for those interested.

This module simply drops into MacsBug when clicked. Read the Software section of the Developer Notes on the Powerbook 500 series. I am unable to include the file controlstrip.h, but it should be available in a variety of places. It is in the current Universal Header distribution (ETO 15) and should be available from Think or MetroWerks. (It isn't in MetroWerks CW4). You might check ftp.apple.com to see if there is an up-to-date Universal Header distribution there. There is an unofficial version that comes with the Control Strip Patcher.

Trapper 1.04.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:T:Trapper 1.04.sit 1.04 0 19K 8/31/94 Trapper 1.04 - Have you ever wondered where all your Mac's CPU processing power is going? Or why the Finder 7 looks slow even on 68040-based Macs? Rumors are that your machine is spending most of its time in the Operating System and Mac Toolbox routines (implemented through the 680x0 A-Trap mechanism). Cool. But what routines are being called? And are they all necessary, or is the Mac just running in circles? Trapper is a Control Panel/Extension combination that keeps track of ALL system routines (or traps) by filtering the standard 680x0 trap dispatcher with a very compact counter routine. The Mac's speed won't be visibly affected and you'll be able to see ALL the system routines (even the undocumented ones).

It also amortises the disk time over all the writes. On my Quadra 700, with a disk cache of 384K, this makes certain applications 25 times faster when they write to disk. This may not make much of a difference to people connecting over modem, but for people on Ethernet, it makes a huge difference.

The display has three sections showing the current battery voltage, the current CPU speed and a counter which displays how long you have been running without your Powerbook plugged in. You can also use it to make your Powerbook sleep and to turn Appletalk on and off. The best way to use Faraday is to put it into your startup items folder and let it start up when you reboot your Powerbook. It takes up only a very small amount of desktop real estate and is fully multifinder friendly, so you can leave it running all of the time. It only requires 40K of RAM and a meager 18K on disk. Now that's what I call small!

HOWEVER, in order to keep them secret, you need an extension which will enable the features. The most notable of the features is control dragging alias creation - in other words hold down the control key and drag a file to another folder...instead of copying it, it will create an alias! I have enclosed an extension that I wrote (called Alias Dragger, oddly enough) that will enable the feature. This is if it works, great - if not, bummer! ware... and has NOTHING to do with my employer, so leave them alone. (Works ok for me!). Works with System 7.5 also.

How often do you wish that items like Restart and Empty Trash had command keys? For those of you who do not know what command keys are, they are the letters after a menu item. When these letters are selected on the keyboard, in tandem with the command key, they provide the same reaction as when you select an item from the File menu for instance. If you do not currently use command keys, learn to use them because, they save time and are very cool! If you already know how to use them, then be prepared to be blown away at the genius of this patch. Requires System 7.1p6 and a Performa.

Normally, RAM Doubler will double your RAM, but with MaxRAM, you can have SIX times as much memory you have built-in. That's right - SIX. For example, if you have 8 MB of real RAM in your Macintosh, MaxRAM will give you 48 MB of RAM. (You can also choose a lower amount, if you desire.) Display an indicator in the menu bar that will flash when RAM Doubler is used. To use MaxRAM, simply double click on it, select the desired amount of RAM (and if you want the indicator on), and Restart your Macintosh. From now on, you'll have much more RAM that

These tasks are - Start applications automatically at predefined times. Stop applications automatically at predefined times. Interrupt applications automatically at predefined times (stop them at one time and start them again at a second time if they were running in the beginning). Mount remote volumes automatically at predefined times. This may be especially useful for automated backups on remote volumes. To perform these tasks AutoStarter uses a database and checks the entries in predefined time intervals.
No Erase 1.1.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:N-O:No Erase 1.1.sit 1.1 0 5K 8/09/94 No Erase 1.1 - This little INIT will help prevent accidental erasure of floppys, disks...(anything that can be erased from the Finder). Your startup disk is protected against accidental erasure because it holds the active system. But if you have more than one hard disk, the other ones don't get that automatic protection. So I wrote this quick hack to hide the erase command from users who are not supposed to use it. When No Erase is installed, you can't select Erase disk from the Special menu in the Finder, unless you hold down a hot key while pulling down the menu. Requires System 7.

System 7 will happily keep the suitcase open and the FKEYs in the file will be available for use as if they were installed in the System file. I'm not sure that this will work with System 7.0, but I know that it works with 7.1. I've enclosed an empty Font suitcase to get you started. Here's what you'll need - ResEdit, the enclosed FKEYs font suitcase, and any FKEYs that you wish to install. Further instructions are included.
About 1.0.3.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:A:About 1.0.3.sit 1.0.3 0 77K 8/09/94 About 1.0.3 - About is a process monitor. Its appearance is an unabashed knockoff of the Finder's display; but unlike that display, you can actually use About to interact with your processes and get information on them. A little arrow appears next to the current process. Clicking an icon switches you to its process, and optionclicking an icon hides or shows that process, just like the Hide and Show commands in the application menu. You can customize the display in many ways use large icons if you prefer, or arrange the processes by their location in memory to reveal the holes in your address space. Also included is Mountain 1.0.1. which intercepts the Finders About This Macintosh command to launch About
ScriptKey.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:AppleScript:ScriptKey.sit 0 41K 8/03/94 ScriptKey - ScriptKey is an FKEY for executing AppleScript scripts. To install it, use your favorite FKEY installation tool. You may use ResEdit, but be careful when ResEditing your current System file. As with any FKEY, its single-digit resource ID number corresponds to the key you hit to invoke it thus, if you give it ID 5, then you invoke it by hitting command-shift-5. The scripts themselves are kept in a file called 'ScriptKey Scripts', which goes in your Preferences folder. I havent provided any tools for creating or manipulating this file, so youll have to do it with ResEdit.
Attributes 1.3.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:A:Attributes 1.3.sit 1.3 0 63K 8/02/94 Attributes 1.3 - Attribute is a flexible program designed to alter file information using a drag-and-drop interface. Drag a set of file / folder / disk icons onto this program's icon and Attribute will change the file information according to user specification. This function only works on files. Dropping folders or disks onto Attribute will modify information of the contents of the folder or disk. Information that can be modified includes date of file creation / modification, creator, file type, invisibility, and lock / unlock attributes. The user can operate on all files or only files that match some criteria (such as creator, file type, etc.). This is the 680x0 Mac version. A PowerMac version is elsewhere.
Simple Security 1.2.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:AppleScript:Simple Security 1.2.sit 1.2 0 11K 8/01/94 Simple Security 1.2 - Simple Security 1.2 is a simple, (As its name suggests) freeware security program. Drop it in your Startup Items folder, and, on startup, the user will be prompted for a password. If the user cancels the dialog box or attempts unsuccessfully 3 times to enter the password, the Macintosh will shut down, and the time and date of the failed attempt will be recorded. The next time the password is entered correctly, Simple Security will display the time and date of this attempt.
Zync1.0a4.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Powerbook:Zync1.0a4.sit 1.04 0 13K 7/29/94 Zync1.0a4 - Zync is a file synchronization application designed for PowerBooks. Its purpose is to copy files back and forth between your PowerBook and a desktop computer. Put Zync on either computer, then configure it by selecting a remote and a local folder from the Setup item in the Zync menu. In the Setup dialog you asked to enter information regarding the remote volume. Zync can automatically mount and unmount the remote volume in order to do the file synchronization, so setup need to be done only once. New - Zync remembers the last time and date when synchronization was done. This is to prevent the application from copying a newer file over another file which has also been modified. And more!
Screen Saver QuicKeys.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:S:Screen Saver QuicKeys.sit 0 38K 7/28/94 Screen Saver QuicKeys - The Screen Saver QuicKeys are three QuicKeys extensions which communicate between QuicKeys and After Dark (and other screen savers which follow the Gestalt interface instituted by Berkeley Systems). They allow QuicKeys to control the screen saver and test the state the screen saver is in (asleep, awake, etc), doing a decision or jump on the outcome. The Screen Saver Quickeys need QuicKeys 3.0 or better and System 7.0 or better. They can work with After Dark 2.0u or better, but certain features (enabling and disabling After Dark and testing for sound and SystemIQ) require After Dark 2.0x or better (or its derivatives such as Star Trek The Screen Saver).
Infinity Volume 1.0.1.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Control Strip:Infinity Volume 1.0.1.sit 1.0.1 0 6K 7/28/94 Infinity Volume 1.0.1 - Infinity Volume is a module for Apple's Control Strip that replaces the sound volume module Apple includes with that utility. It differs by changing the icon that appears in the strip to reflect the current volume. The Apple module has only one icon, so the only way to determine the volume is to click it and look at the selection in the popup menu that is displayed. Infinity Volume lets you know with a glance! To reposition this module in the Control Strip, click it with the Option key down and drag it to a new location. This Control Strip module is freeware, but Infinity Systems retains the copyright.
Control Strip Patcher 2.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Control Strip:Control Strip Patcher 2.0.sit 2.0 0 9K 7/28/94 Control Strip Patcher 2.0 - When Apple released their new Powerbook 500 series, they included a neat-o keen little utility called Control Strip. I tried it on my trusty Mac IIci but it wouldn't work! Strange I thought... I asked around on the net and it turned out that for some strange and unfathomable reason, Control Strip would only work on Powerbooks and Duos. Following the advice my father gave me many, many years ago, I stopped asking why and did something about it. The result is this little piece of software. It is an application to patch or modify Control Strip so that it can work on plain jane desktop Macintoshes like IIci's, Centris's, Quadra's, LC's and Performa's.
AD 3.0 Strip.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Control Strip:AD 3.0 Strip.sit 3.0 0 5K 7/28/94 AD 3.0 Strip - This is a module I put together to allow PowerBook users (like myself) some convenient control over After Dark 3.0. Currently, it lets you enable/disable sleep, enable/disable SystemIQ and launch the control panel. This module currently works only with After Dark 3.0. I do not plan to add After Dark 2.0 support but may if enough requests come in. This module was developed indepently by me and is in no way affiliated or supported by Berkeley Systems, Inc. Please DO NOT call Berkeley Systems regarding functionality or bugs. Report all bugs/feature requests, etc. to the following e-mail address - bochen@netcom.com.

SmallDesk 0.0.1.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:S:SmallDesk 0.0.1.sit 0.0.1 0 8K 7/19/94 SmallDesk 0.0.1 - Install this INIT in your extensions folder and restart to be able to view your desktop by small icon, name, kind, or type. It is not entirely practical, however, since System 7 forces the desktop to be viewed by Icon on startup. This may cause your icons to be relocated to places you don't want them to be. Also, this is a quick hack. It has not been tested much (i.e. not for more than five minutes, and only on a single Mac), so use it at your own risk. This hack may be freely distributed as long as this documentation file and the source are also included.

Place the file called FirstLight Engine into the folder called StartupItems which is located in your system folder. Double-Click the FirstLight icon to run the program.
Creators&Versions 1.3.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Creators&Versions 1.3.sit 1.3 0 23K 7/10/94 Creators&Versions 1.3 - Ever wonder what version of TeachText or the StuffIt Expander you have on your hard drive? Or have you ever double-clicked on a file in the Finder and been told that you can not open a file created by 'ONLN'? If you answered yes to either of these questions, then this droplet is just what you need. This Frontier deskscript (something you double-click on in the Finder) produces a list of all the applications, extensions, and control panels on your hard disk with their creator codes and version numbers. An example of this report called Creators List appears in this folder. The report can be opened with the Scriptable Text Editor which you will need to run the script.
Voices 1.1.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:U-Z:Voices 1.1.sit 1.1 0 6K 7/10/94 Voices 1.1 - This Macintosh control panel allows you to set the system default voice used by software such as SimpleText. When you click on one of the available voices, it will speak its own name (sometimes this takes a few seconds). The selected voice becomes the default voice after you restart the computer. Naturally, Voices requires Apple's Speech Manager. Voices sets 'ttsp' resource # 1 of the Speech Manager system extension to the VoiceSpec of the selected voice. The Speech Manager must be located in the Extensions folder within the active System Folder. Voices relies on undocumented behavior of the Speech Manager and has only been tested with version 1.1.1. Balloon help included.

Keep It Up 1.2.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:G-L:Keep It Up 1.2.sit 1.2 0 111K 7/07/94 Keep It Up 1.2 - Are you tired of getting the The Application xxx has unexpectedly quit because an error of type zz occurred message? Are you depending on this application to keep running at all times, even when you're away? Then you should investigate Keep It Up (KIU), the new utility by the author of Autoboot. KIU watches certain applications and monitors if they are still running. If an application no longer runs because it unexpectedly quit or because the user quit it, KIU will attempt to relaunch this application or restart the computer. This will ensure that your application is always running and available. This is especially important for all kinds of server applications. System 7 only.
Send file auto-reply.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:AppleScript:Send file auto-reply.sit 0 11K 7/07/94 Send file auto-reply - This script is useful in sending a (or several) file to people who request it, like if you offered to re-distribute a file when people ask for it. It parses the Subject line for a user-defined sub-string (case-insensitive), and replies to the messages in your In box that match this sub-string, quoting the text, adding your .signature (if that's the default in Eudora) and appending the file of your choice. The files and subject to match are defined the first time the script is run. They can be removed only by re-compiling the script, so it's wise to make copies of the virgin script and work on those. Makes a very good use of AppleScript lists to keep track of all the Subjects and associated files.

Also converts WordPerfect to Word. This simple applescript droplet will allow you to drop one or more MSWord documents onto it, and when it is done, all you have to do is double click on the document and Word Perfect will launch. WordPerfect will still ask you what conversion to use. You will even still have the same problems with a document that is saved using the fast save feature of MSWord.

This significantly degrades performance if many resources are changed in succession, e.g. while linking programs or running resource compilers. 2) Each time a sound channel is allocated (disposed) some information is read from (written to) the file DSP Preferences. Applications which follow Apple's recommendations create and destroy such a channel for each single sound they produce and thus slow down while they torture your hard...

Automagically sends file(s) to a pre-determined e-mail address. An Eudora script. Postcard-ware/E-mail-ware. Here is a little script I wrote for use with Eudora (I use 1.4.2) that takes any number of dragged-on files and sends them, in separate messages (so we don't confuse non MIME-aware mailers), to a pre-determined e-mail address. How do you determine the e-mail address? Simple! It's the script's name! Therefore, all you have to do is duplicate the script and re-name it to the recipient's e-mail address. You can even use Eudora nicknames since Eudora will resolve them. This is particularily useful for distribution lists.

I made it particularly for those PowerBook users who may really want to use thier computer as a laptop and may find themselves in an environment where the chime would be disturbing to others (like in a classroom). Please be aware that because your Macintosh may not have a ROM which checks the volume level before making the chime, this program may have no effect on your computer. Sorry, there's nothing a program can do until it's running - and bootstrap ROM always goes first. 1.3 added user selectable boot volume.

Of course, you need the regular AppleScript installation, and most notably the display dialog osax. To use it, simply double-click on the applet. It will ask you either to select a file or to confirm the selected file. Next, it will ask you for a Subject to match. Try it.
Enscriptor 3.02.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:E:Enscriptor 3.02.sit 3.02 0 46K 5/20/94 Enscriptor 3.02 - I first used the 'enscript' UNIX printing command in a Computer Science class at Berkeley. It was popular because it saved paper by printing in a two column format. But it wasn't the columns or the saved paper that intrigued me. It was the nice and neat style of the printout that got me hooked on the command. After using 'enscript' for a while, I came back to my Macintosh and found that my source code print-outs were dull and boring to look at. I wanted the 'enscript' command on my Mac so my source code would look nice and be presentable. Enscriptor prints TEXT files in a two column style similar to the UNIX 'enscript' command. It can either print in portrait or landscape modes. Requires System 7.
View Setter 1.2.1u.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:AppleScript:View Setter 1.2.1u.sit 1.2.1 0 158K 5/18/94 View Setter 1.2.1u - View Setter is an Applescript 1.1 script, which scripts the finder, so, unless you have system 7.5, which includes everything you need to run this program, you will need the following to use this utility - System 7.1, Applescript 1.1 and it's scripting additions, and the Finder Scripting addition. I decided to create View Setter as a way to teach myself Applescript. It basically organizes, cleans up, and staggers all of the windows of all the folders on whatever volume you want it to. I created it because I was tired of having to organize, clean up, and stagger the windows on my workstation.
UltraDrop 1.00001.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:U-Z:UltraDrop 1.00001.sit 1.00001 0 40K 5/14/94 UltraDrop 1.00001 - UltraDrop isn't an extension or utility, merely a very clever and useful thing you can do with folders under System 7. Credit for the original idea goes to 'Joe - The Rendererer', on AOL. If you look at the four icons within the 'Original' folder, you'll see that each depicts a small button, placed in positions which, when taken together, make up a whole icon square. Each is pasted onto a folder, and are brought into alignment by dragging the four folders in turn onto approximately the same space with the Command Key held down. This locks the icon drag to the invisible grid, and ensures exact placing. Clean up your desktop with these tiny icons!

Its menu items are scripts - choose an item from the menu and the script will run. Some commands are always available, and some are only available within particular applications. Generally the target of the script is the active application, and scripts that operate on the user selection are particularly useful. Scripts in the OSA Menu act like extensions to the command set of the application. The main advantage to scripts in the menu is that you can call them up with one mouse click without leaving your current context for the Finder. Requires Sys 7 and and an OSA...
OptionCapsLock 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Powerbook:OptionCapsLock 1.0.sit 1.0 0 4K 5/09/94 OptionCapsLock 1.0 - OptionCaps is a system extension primarily for users of PowerBooks whose keyboards sport the Caps Lock key that doesn't lock down when pressed. Hence, the annoyance of having to reset the Caps Lock key after accidentally typing a half-dozen characters in upper case. It is similar to the Caps Lock Off Extension except that it still allows you to use the Caps Lock key - you just have to indicate that you really mean to by holding down the Option Key, too. After installing OptionCaps, you can not activate the Caps Lock key by just pressing it. You must instead hold down the Option key, and then (while still holding down the Option key) press the Caps Lock key.

They were first intended to be used with ARA servers that activate with a phone call (such as those using Sophisticated Circuits PowerKey Remote), but will work on any networked Macintosh running System 7. Shutdown Extension loads at startup and waits in the background to receive a command from Shutdown Remote. OnceShutdown Extension receives a command, it will send its own commands to the Finder. The extension will also close any open documents and reply to the default of any dialog that may come up. Then it will shut down. Requires System 7.
Replace 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:R:Replace 1.0.sit 1.0 0 6K 5/06/94 Replace 1.0 - When saving a file, one often sees a dialog like this Replace existing file with cancel and replace buttons, and the cancel button is the one highlighted and selected if you hit return. Replace! is an extension which highlight's the replace button instead, since most people know what they are doing, and really do want to replace the file. Now they can just hit return to choose replace. Much easier. Also, if you hold the option key down, you can override the dialog entirely. This extension should work on any mac or PowerMac running System 7.

Import to PM Script.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:AppleScript:Import to PM Script.sit 0 9K 4/26/94 Import to PM Script - This script gets a list of all the files in a folder (the foldername is hard-coded in the script). A repeat loop then traverses the list and, taking one file at a time, imports the file, resizes it, at places it within a 3 by 4 grid. The filename is used as a caption which is placed below each graphic. This script could be easily modified for any similar tasks. It would be great for creating a membership directory where photos of members were scaned and named with the individual's name. PageMaker presents somewhat of a challenge for this type of script because it only recognizes the do script and evaluate Apple Events. Each step of the script must be sent one at a time as text. I got around this!
PICTify 1.51.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:P-Q:PICTify 1.51.sit 1.51 0 33K 4/25/94 PICTify 1.51 - PICTify is a control panel that provides you with screen capturing capabilities and is provided FREE of charge. You may capture the entire screen, a selection that you define, the frontmost window, or a pulled-down menu (including popup menus) to a file or to the clipboard. If you choose to save the snapshot to a file, you have the option of saving itto a TeachText PICT file or to a ResEdit file which will contain a 'PICT'resource and a couple of other resources which define the dimensions of the PICT. I find the latter option essential for capturing pictures I've drawn to include in about boxes or other parts of my programs. Requires System 7.0 or greater.
WindowLabels 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:U-Z:WindowLabels 1.0.sit 1.0 0 25K 4/21/94 WindowLabels 1.0 - WindowLabels is a System Extension which extends the functionality of the Label menu in the System 7 Finder from just icons to whole windows. (i.e. WindowLabels lets you apply background colors and/or patterns to Finder windows, as easily as you could label Finder icons with the Label menu before.) To use it, simply drag it to your active System folder and restart. Then, open a window, any window, in the Finder. Hold down the option key, and then open the Label menu. Now you can select between any color or pattern shown. When you release the mouse button on a color or pattern, the frontmost window acquires the characteristics you just gave it. Keeping with the interface of the current Label menu,...
Set-aux-binary 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:S:Set-aux-binary 1.0.sit 1.0 0 5K 4/18/94 Set-aux-binary 1.0 - set-aux-binary is a freely redistributable utility that sets the type and creator of input files to 'BIN '/'A/UX'. This permits binary files downloaded to a Mac partition to be copied to an A/UX unix partition without invoking A/UX's automatic carriage-return-to-newlines conversion, which can cause file corruption. Usage - in the System 7.x Finder, drag-and-drop icon(s) representing unix binary file(s) onto the set-aux-binary icon. Note that set-aux-binary won't repair a binary file that has been mistakenly downloaded in ascii mode to a MacOS partition.

Sometimes an application may lose its icons. Or the icons may look OK, but you cannot drag and drop documents on top of the application that you know you should be able to. Or you might get a new version of the application, which has some new icons, but the Finder continues to display the old ones. Fix Icons will refresh the desktop database with the information about the associated icons and document types, without affecting anything else. You may need to quit and restart the Finder in order to see the effect of the change. Requires System 7 or later.
StartupScreenManager 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:S:StartupScreenManager 1.0.sit 1.0 0 59K 4/18/94 StartupScreenManager 1.0 - StartUpScreenManager is essentially an extension (INIT) that activates during startup, randomly chooses a new startup picture from the available pictures, and immediately terminates, thus using absolutely no memory. If you happen to like certain pictures more than others, you can give them a higher weight, so they will be displayed more often. Since not everybody is familiar with Resedit, StartUpScreenManager has an add button allowing you to easily import pictures of type 'PICT', MacPaint and 'SCRN' - the original startupscreen format. Furthermore, you can look in all files - including programs - for picture resources, and you can use the clipboard to import and export

Alias Finder was written to provide a simple way to find the file that an alias file refers to. It performs this in the most natural way possible - it asks the System 7 Finder to show the file. It does this by sending an Apple Event to the Finder which was specifically created to do this. To have Alias Finder find an original file, merely drop the alias file on to Alias Finder within the Finder. Alias Finder will run and then exit, and the Finder will open thefolder where the original file is and select that file. Alias Finder can also find folders and volumes. Fast and Effective. Essential for System 7 users.

It displays the moon in it's current phase (in a beautifully detailed picture), along with the detailed information on the Moon's phase cycle, subtends and distance from the Earth. Moon Age, Julian date, distance, subtends, local time and date, and moon phases are given. Moon phases include dates of last new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter, next new moon, and current lunation. To display this information, your Mac needs to have it's time zone information set up correctly. This can be done within the Map control panel (ships with all Macs). It's a beauty. Plus, you can iconize it to only show the moon picture.
DateCalculations.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:AppleScript:DateCalculations.sit 0 14K 4/05/94 DateCalculations - Date Calculations is a scripting addition that adds some useful date and time functions to AppleScript. Ive also enclosed a sample applet to demonstrate their use. I first wrote this addition for AppleScript 1.0; AppleScript 1.1 has new date/time capabilities which make one or two, but not all, of the functions obsolete. How to use - you must have AppleScript installed. The addition itself should work with 1.0, but the sample applet was compiled with 1.1, and is unusable under 1.0. Double-click the NZ Daylight Saving applet, and it should display a message indicating the current state of Daylight Saving time in New Zealand.

When an alias points to an application on a different volume, it may lose its ability to have files dropped on it. Although people will often tell you to rebuild your desktop database when you have trouble launching things, in this case rebuilding the desktop actually causes the problem. I wrote Alias Dragon as a tool to fix this problem, until the next time you rebuild your desktop. Alias Dragon works by scanning for application aliases that point to different volumes, and copying information from the desktop database of the target to the desktop database of the alias.

You can watch how much CPU time each process uses, as well as look at any piece of information available through the Process Manager. The Process Manager (available in System 7 and later) maintains a dozen or so pieces of information about each running process (normally an application); many fine utilities show a subset of this information. No existing utility showes precisely the subset of Process Manager information I needed to know at a given time. Hence, Peek-a-Boo can show any piece of information available via the Process Manager; preferences can be edited to view only those pieces of information you need.

It maintains a little thermometer, showing the temperature of either inside the Duo, or inside the battery pack. (The Power Manager really uses this info for smart battery charging, but hey, I bet you always wanted a $3000 not very accurate thermometer - just the thing to impress your relatives or trigger your Macintalk/cell phone interface to automatically order up a drink while you work up a sweat hacking under a palm tree at the beach...). Works only with the Duos.

Invisotime - Whenever invisotime is run it checks the time and determines if the files in its records are supposed to be visible. If the files' visibility is incorrect, invisotime switches it. Invisotime is not an init so if you want to use it ALONE (without invisonit) you should put a copy in your startup folder and/or use a utility like Quickeys for automation. invisonit - invisonit is an init that will update invisotime's files at bootup and on the hour. You do not have to use it, but it sure beats running invisotime every hour manually (assuming you do not have Quickeys or an equivalent program).

Under System 7, you can put aliases of applications and files on your desktop or inside the Apple menu. But sometimes, when you get more and more aliases, your desktop becomes messy, and the Apple menu fills up with more and more sub-folders to contain your frequently used aliases. Once you have installed MagicOpen, you no longer have to look through many sub-folders inside the Apple menu or your hard disk, you simply click the name of the application or file you want, then it opens for you. MagicOpen is an application (no init conflicts!). You can set up your favorite applications (up to16), and files (up to 18).
U.S. - Dvorak.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:U-Z:U.S. - Dvorak.sit .. 0 6K 9/15/93 U.S. - Dvorak I and II - These System 7 keyboard layouts may be dropped into your System Folder. As an efficient alternative to the standard QWERTY layout, Dvorak may be just the thing you need if you are currently fighting repetive stress injury (RSI) problems. Strictly based on the standard U.S. layout (default for System 7), I proceeded to create two layouts for Dvorak. Both layouts differ slightly from the ANSI Dvorak. You can change keyboard layouts at any time with the Keyboard control panel or by pressing command-option-space. Use Key Caps to see where all of the keys are located. After years of QWERTY, it doesn't come easily. You can move the keys around on some keyboards if you want them to read...

What it will do is let you display a picture of any size in any folder by converting the picture to a collection or mosaic of custom icons. It's fun to make a huge icon which consists of very close together folders! You could even mix up the folders and let someone solve the puzzle. Fun.
AppleTalk On 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:A:AppleTalk On 1.0.sit 1.0 0 10K 9/09/93 AppleTalk On 1.0 - This is an application extension ('appe') which does almost nothing but idle until it is quit, which usually only happens when you Restart or Shutdown your Macintosh. At this time, AppletalkOn will examine the current state of Appletalk and turn it on. It will also save the state of AppleTalk and optionally restore that state when you boot up next time. The reason this extension is necessary is that, starting with System 7 TuneUp, AppleTalk does not load into memory if it is off at startup time. This requires you to turn AppleTalk on and then restart. This is annoying at best, and thus was born AppleTalkOn. AppleTalkOn currently occupies 20K or RAM while it runs.

When you unplug the PowerBook, Plug Alert will put up a message telling you that the charger has been taken out of the PowerBook. Also if the wall current is off, or the charger is unplugged from the wall, Plug Alert will notify you of this as well. This INIT is not likely to have any sort of conflict, it is VERY simple. This version fixed the message that told the user when the PowerBook was unplugged, so it read correctly. Also added the feature which notifies the user when the wall current is off, or when the charger has been unplugged from the wall.

To install it, just drop it into your Control Panel folder and restart. Felix is very small (about 12 kilobytes on disk and less than 512 bytes of RAM) so its size shouldn't bother you too much.
RevertDICT.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:RevertDICT.sit 0 11K 8/19/93 RevertDICT - This program is a droplet. This is a file for System 7 users who are using Frontier or Frontier Runtime. As I do not have Frontier installed, I have no idea what this file does!
AppDisk 1.6.1.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:A:AppDisk 1.6.1.sit 1.6.1 0 23K 8/19/93 AppDisk 1.6.1 - AppDisk is a ramdisk. What is a ramdisk? Its a piece of software that lets you use some extra RAM memory as a really fast hard disk. The disk will appear on your desktop just like any other hard disk, and you can copy files to it just like normal. The only difference between a ramdisk and a normal disk is that when you turn the power off to your Mac, or restart, the contents of the ramdisk are lost. This is one reason AppDisk has several options to automatically save a copy of the ramdisk contents onto your hard disk. The difference between AppDisk and most other ramdisk programs is that the AppDisk gets the memory for its disk from its application memory. Requires System 7.

Selecting a ppat from the list will display the ppat, up to 256x256 pixels in size. No more need to use ResEdit to view a ppat (which won't show the large ones anyway). Includes a special feature for programmers who need to hard code a ppat into their program. New to v1.1 - some cosmetic changes and the ability to delete a ppat from the opened file. Also, you can now drop any file on the ppat Viewer icon to open it.

Omega SANE patcher 1.3.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:N-O:Omega SANE patcher 1.3.sit 1.3 0 55K 8/04/93 Omega SANE patcher 1.3 - According to Apple - Omega SANE works only with a Ci-class ROM or better (and the more recent Macs have it in their ROMS already). So older Macs (like the Mac II) won't show any improvement after this patch is applied, and newer models don't need it. This patch makes your math processor faster. Apple released the Omega SANE routines to improve floating point math. These routines are faster and more accurate than the originals. This application will patch the Omega SANE routines into your System 7.0 or 7.1 System file. You should also be able to patch a copy of System 6.0.7/8 (while running under 7, though). New - The ROM patch overrides are even more reliable now. Read docs before using.

The spoken times are determined by a schedule that you can change using ResEdit, as described in the documentation. TimeTeller requires System 7, and works only on a Mac II or later machine. TimeTeller uses only 48K of application memory while running. Its disk footprint is less than 64K. Since TimeTeller is a background application, it does not trap any patches and can't cause compatibility problems. Version 1.1 is compatible with Apple's Sound Manager 3.0. If you aren't using Sound Manager 3.0, I suggest that you continue to use version 1.0 of TimeTeller, which requires only 32K of application memory.

Desktop Deleter allows you to select and delete different types of desktop database files from your hard drive. It also allows you to delete old-style and foreign disk database files. Since System 7 does not use the old-style Desktop files, you can free a large amount of space from your disks by deleting it. Desktop deleter can also be used to recover files lost due to the System 7 tuneup bug. Desktop deleter may not fix file disappearance problems, but will make the problems fixable with a disk repair utility. This utility is one of the 7 Plus utilities by Robert Gibson.

VMTuner.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:U-Z:VMTuner.sit 0 79K 10/02/92 VMTuner - System 7 offers you the ability to 'extend' the available memory by pretending your Macintosh has more RAM than it actually has installed. Instead, the Mac uses a file on disk to store portions of the RAM it currently doesn't need in order to make room for another portion it needs to use now. This way of extending memory is called virtual memory (VM), and it happens transparently for the applications, except for one thing: speed. The so-called swapping of portions of RAM from and to the disk causes your computer to slow down considerably. The larger you set the virtual memory size, the slower your Mac will get.
ToggleAT.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Powerbook:ToggleAT.sit 0 8K 9/28/92 ToggleAT - is an FKEY for the Macintosh PowerBook. The intent of this FKEY isto be able to avoid going to the Chooser to turn off AppleTalk every time you take your PowerBook on the road since this requires a menu item, a button click, an Are you sure dialog, an OK dialog and a close box. Turning it back on requires a menu item, a button click, an OK dialog and a close box. This is almost more trouble than it is worth. So, I wanted an FKEY that allowed me to blast AppleTalk off with a single key combo and hit the road. This is the ToggleAT FKEY. It comes as resource ID 12, which is only useful if you use a macro program like QuicKeys to trigger it. If you want to use it without such, you will need to renumber it.
DeBNDL 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:D:DeBNDL 1.0.sit 1.0 0 62K 9/22/92 DeBNDL 1.0 - DeBNDL is a drop-type application for use with Apple's System 7.0 or better. It provides a simple method for replacing an icon in the Finder's Desktop File. Normally, you would have to rebuild the Desktop File by holding down command-option when rebooting and then waiting for the Finder to rebuild the entire Desktop File. While this is still recommended when adding, changing or removing substantial numbers of application and other files from your hard drive, when designing that one icon for your special folder or new application DeBNDL is the ticket.

FinderEdit.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:F:FinderEdit.sit 0 26K 9/04/92 FinderEdit - FinderEdit is one of the most useful system 7 utility applications I've ever come across. The author is Dan Weisman whom I've tried to get-a-hold through his internet address and failed. I took the liberty to modify it slightly to create an Icl8. The docs. give information on where to send the shareware contribution. FinderEdit allows the user to modify file mappings, change the font string, change alias styles, change information under the get info box, and add Quit commands to the finder. Obviously when it's in use it shuts off the finder so I don't recommend running any other applications in the background while FinderEdit is active.

PowerBook owners will see what happens when the CPU drops into rest mode, the display will catch up with this as soon as you move the trackball or hit a key. Both of these apps use the GetNextEvent thingy in the event loop and should get the maximum number of nullevents etc.

If there are no other applications running, the Finder will simply restart again, so be sure another process is in the background. Quitting the Finder will give you about 300K of memory, but you will lose the configurable part of the apple menu, so be sure you have launched all the apps that you will need. I wrote Kill Finder because I needed a quick and easy way to make the Finder quit. Some programs will make use of the free memory through temporary memory options and such. Kill Finder requires System 7.0 or higher, supports Apple Events, and is 32 bit compatible. Enjoy!

PowerOrgasm.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Powerbook:PowerOrgasm.sit 0 87K 8/03/92 PowerSound - By popular demand, we have been convinced to come out with an update to our little init. The differences between this version and the last follow 1] This init now runs fine on non-Portable Macintoshes. It will not install itself if that is the case 2] A bug was fixed which caused random sound making when installed witGlobal Village's PowerPort init and several other peices of software. We hope all PowerBook users can get enjoyment out of this init, but feel that it detracts from the spirit of the init to not distribute it with the sound it was written for.

Table.uniqueName.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Table.uniqueName.sit . 0 4K 7/27/92 table.uniqueName - This package adds a new verb to UserTalk, table.uniqueNa me.
Table.surePath.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Table.surePath.sit . 0 3K 7/27/92 table.surePath - This package adds a new verb to UserTalk, file.surePath. To install it, 1. With Frontier 1.0 running, double-click on the table.surePath file. 2. Launch DocServer, and select the Load Text File command from the File menu. Select DocServer Source Text from this folder. Hope you like it!
Table.emptyTable.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Table.emptyTable.sit . 0 3K 7/27/92 Table.emptyTable - a Frontier Script, This package adds a new verb to UserTalk, table.emptyTable. With Frontier running, double-click on the table.emptyTable file. Launch DocServer, and select the Load Text File command from the File menu. Select DocServer Source Text from this folder.
Table sure path.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Table sure path.sit 0 3K 7/27/92 table sure path - This package adds a new verb to UserTalk, file.surePath.
Small fortue cookie.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Small fortue cookie.sit 0 15K 7/27/92 small fortue cookie - This verb uses an associated table of fortunes, which will automatically be installed if the installation script for this verb is allowed to run normally. This verb also depends on the randomness of the random number generator - you will probably want to install the Randomize verb, that overcomes a bug in Frontier 1.0 related to the random number generator. The fortunes comes in two sizes (at present) - big and small; the big one requires more memory, and you may have to increase the memory size for the Frontier application in some environments.
Scratchpad.cdemo1.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Scratchpad.cdemo1.sit .1 0 8K 7/27/92 Scratchpad.cdemo1 - This script produces a list of all the script objects in an app table. It prompts you for the name of the application and then creates an outline of all the scripts in its app table. Written by Dave Winer for Baiss Magnusson of AutoDesk, to help list his 200+ Frontier verbs! It's a good example of how to use the table.visit verb, which seems to be kind of confusing. Maybe this script will clear up the confusion?
Scheduler Suite.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Scheduler Suite.sit 0 7K 7/27/92 Scheduler Suite - Is there a script you want to run at the same time every day? Or every hour on the hour? That's what the Scheduler Suite is for -- it turns Frontier into a real-time operating system for scripts. There are two menu items that add a new task to the schedule. Add an Hourly Task adds a task that runs every hour-on-the-hour. The command prompts you for a single-line script. Click on OK to add the task. If there's a task you want performed every night at 2AM, select the Add an Overnight Taskcommand.
Salutation.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Salutation.sit 0 3K 7/27/92 salutation - This verb is designed to be used from the user's customStartup script, so that a greeting may be given everytime Frontier is started up.
ReallyNukeTT.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:ReallyNukeTT.sit 0 2K 7/27/92 reallyNukeTT - This is a frontier script for getting rid of Teach Text. This script goes all through your drive and deletes all copies of Teach Text except the one in your system folder. Requires Frontier to run.
Random fortune cookie.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Random fortune cookie.sit 0 4K 7/27/92 random fortune cookie - This verb overcomes a bug in Frontier 1.0. The bug is that the pseudo-random number generator uses the same sequence everytime Frontier is launched - this may be useful in some circumstances, but was not for me. When the Randomize verb is installed in Frontier, a code resource (of type RAND) is added to the Frontier.root file - the code contained in this resource seeds the psuedo-random number generator sequence with the current time of day. A call to Randomize in your customStartup script is suggested.
Network Utilities.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Network Utilities.sit 0 9K 7/27/92 Network Utilities - Imagine youre the network manager for a classroom full of Macintoshes. Everday, dozens of students come into the lab to do their assignments and projects In the course of a day, new files get created, essential files are accidentally deleted. So once a day, you shut the system down and visit all the computerand replace missing files and delete extraneous ones, by manually pointing clicking and dragging. NightWatch -- the first UserLand network utility, does this for you automatically and very carefully. It produces a detailed report of all the updating and cleaning up it did.
Importb2file.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Importb2file.sit 2 0 3K 7/27/92 importb2file - For those beta sites that have been working with 1.0b2, here's a Desktop script that imports files exported from 1.0b2 into 1.0b3. (1.0b3 uses a different Export format that isn't directly compatable with that of earlier versions.) Requires Frontier 1.0b3.
Empty table.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Empty table.sit 0 4K 7/27/92 empty table - This package adds a new verb to UserTalk, table.emptyTable. To install it, 1. With Frontier 1.0 running, double-click on the table.emptyTable file. 2. Launch DocServer, and select the Load Text File command from the File menu. Select DocServer Source Text from this folder. Hope you like it!
DWMenu.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:DWMenu.sit 0 9K 7/27/92 DWMenu - I had this lying around in my Frontier.root, and I wasn't sure how to distribute it, but it has some very useful stuff in it, especially if you're distributing Frontier scripts, tables, objects, etc.
ARA Server.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:ARA Server.sit 0 15K 7/27/92 ARA Server - One of the most exciting new capabilities to come along in quite some time is Apple Computer's AppleTalk Remote Access, or ARA. It allows you to create a connection between a remote computer and a local area network. We like ARA at UserLand, in fact we use it to bridge computers here all the time. It works. Then we heard that Apple was offering an API for ARA -- we couldn't resist creating a small applet to bridge ARA to Frontier script writing. As a result, your scripts can now operate over a phone line! This is going to be very interesting. Using ARA Server and Frontier, you can automatically initiate an ARA connection, manage it, and terminate the connection.
App Cleanup.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:App Cleanup.sit 0 4K 7/27/92 App Cleanup - is a frontier script for clean up. When you get a new version of an application, how does the Finder tell the difference? This script travels over all the folders you ask it to looking for files whose creator ID equals the ID you specify. When it finds one, it asks if you want to set its creator ID to '----' Make sure NOT to change the ID of the real copy of the program, the one you want to launch when you double-click on a data file. We wrote this script for Frontier beta sites, who may want to keep old Frontiers but want to be sure the current one is the one the Finder recognizes Frontier's creator ID is 'LAND'.
Neat Folders.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:Neat Folders.sit 0 2K 7/27/92 Neat Folders - this is a Frontier script that helps with folder setup. The script prompts you to answer whether you desire to neaten all files in a subdirectory to it and then completes the task. Requires Frontier.

Zing.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:U-Z:Zing.sit 0 23K 7/27/92 Zing - Zing is a small chat application that uses system 7 AppleEvents for its communication. Ping doesnt have a lot of bells and whistles, but it runs in only 30K of memory; small enough to make it possible to run as startup item for most macs. The problem with most larger talk applications is that theyre too large to run, so noone bothers, so you cant talk after all.
SleepAlert.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Powerbook:SleepAlert.sit 0 3K 7/27/92 SleepAlert - SleepAlert suppresses the warning dialog that appears if you try to put a PowerBook to sleep while AppleTalk is turned on. It basically simulates clicking the Sleep button. It turns out that there are 3 different dialogs (in increasing order of severity) that might appear, depending on the situation, (1) AppleTalk is turned on, (2) You have a file server mounted, (3) Some program is actively using AppleTalk.
Savvy.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:S:Savvy.sit 0 6K 7/27/92 Savvy - Extension--drop in system folder and restart. It modifies Get Info dialog box to display an application's System 7 savvy and 32-bit cleanliness. Invaluable for testing applications--don't find out the hard way. Due to popular demand, we have been able to glean a bit more information regarding the codes provided by this init. Savvy apparently reads the SIZE resource and reports the settings contained in that resource.

It tells you how much power is left in the battery as well as if the Macintosh is attached to an AC adaptor (the battery is recharging). This INIT should work on any Portable Macintosh. When installed, it takes up about 1K of memory.
950 Color.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:A:950 Color.sit 950 0 4K 7/27/92 950 Color - 950 Color Addition is a system software extension that fixes a minor problem on Macintosh Quadra 950 computers. This extension does nothing on other Macintosh computers. The problem addressed only manifests itself under certain conditions. When a color monitor is connected to the on-board video circuitry and the Monitors control panel is set to millions of colors, certain color manipulation commands may not work in some graphics application programs. The problem is not destructive. Your machine will not crash and data will not be corrupted. Installing the 950 Color Addition corrects the problem.
Site-to-Site 1.0.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:S:Site-to-Site 1.0.sit 1.0 0 24K 7/24/92 Site-to-Site 1.0 - Site-to-Site, a drag-and-drop utility (Drop Rob-Box), moves all selected items (disks, folders, files) into a newly created or existing directory.

This Frontier suite is designed for people using Dantz Development's Retrospect 1.3 with removable media (such as SyQuest cartridges, Bernoulli disks, MO disks, etc.). It's mostly useful for unattended incremental backups that do not require adding members (cartridges) during a backup sessionThe main feature of this suite is that it will eject & unmount the backup volume after a Retrospect scripted backup is executed. In the past I have used Retrospect's Calendar feature and the Retro.Startup system extension to auto-execute backups during the night.

It mounts Appleshare Volumes with usernames and passwords intact. Mauncher saves the documents in a scrambled format to protect data and has the option of specifying passwords for script access. Mauncher is extremely useful under network environments where frequent changes in volume access is a common requirement or where control and management of volume access and applications is desired. It can certainly be used in non-networked environments for its application management features.
GetInfo++.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:G-L:GetInfo++.sit 0 6K 5/10/92 GetInfo++ - This INIT will let you see Filetype and Creator signatures in the Comment box of a file when doing a Get Info in Finder. (Actually, this only works the first time you comment a file, and only if the Shift key is down.) Want to add a comment to a file? Use Get Info per normal. Want to add filetype/creator info to the comment box instead? Do a Shift-Get-Info. That's the basic idea here. It's a very simple INIT, compatible with everything, but you DO need System 7 (or it won't load). It's absolutely the easiest way to get filetype & creator info for a file, and you get that info in the only logical place for it the Get Info window. Apple should have done something like this in the first place!
ResLogger.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:Frontier:ResLogger.sit 0 20K 5/10/92 ResLogger - ResLogger is a UserLand Frontier Suite that compiles an outline of named resources. The primary use for this is as a tool for HyperCard developers to keep track of XCMDs and XFCNs which may be located on several disks - some even off-line. But it can be used for any named resource; snd 's being a logical candidate. ResLogger looks in the specified folder and all subfolders, for the specified resource. It then makes a sorted list of the resources. Each resource name is a heading (summit). The subheadings are the paths to each file that contains that resource.
DropRouter.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:D:DropRouter.sit 0 24K 5/05/92 DropRouter - Drop files into this program and re-route them to other locations. For example, drop a text file in and move it to a Text Files folder. Or drop a Word document into a Word docs folder. Or a folder or disk containing text files, Word files, and PICT files, and move them to their own separate directories on their disk. Drag sets of files, folders, or disks into the application, Drop Box-style. Router will scan folders and disks provided depending on yourpreferences, and will move (if preferences allow, of course) each of the selected items to a directory you have set. Drop Boxes require Apple Events, and thus System 7.0 or higher.
Scale.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:S:Scale.sit 0 19K 5/04/92 Scale - Scale is a drop and drag utility that counts the number of files and folders in a selection and calculates the total logical and physical size of that group without having to use Get Info.
BePatriotic.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:B:BePatriotic.sit 0 5K 5/03/92 bePatriotic - Election season is here, and the patriotic spirit seems to be a little lacking. So to get that patriotic spirit rockin, I wrote this little thingy so you can show your colors on your Mac! beP only works with System 7 & up, and will refuse to run if this is not the case. What beP does is change one bit in the 'itlc' resource in your system file. To do this yourself, just use resedit to open up your system file & edit the resource yourself.
FastFinder.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:F:FastFinder.sit 0 8K 4/25/92 FastFinder - contains modified CODE resources which increase the Finder's copy & move buffer, and a few other goodies.

Data Cache Control.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:D:Data Cache Control.sit 0 14K 12/16/91 The Cache ON INIT is an extension that should turn on the 68030 data cache. It's for use with the new 8o24GC INIT, use of which seems to turn the data cache off. No promises, no guarantees.

Sys7 font fix stack.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:S:Sys7 font fix stack.sit 7 0 42K 11/14/91 Sys7 font fix stack - I found a annoying thing with System 7.0 - ancient bitmap fonts from the Mac 128K/512K days can't be double-clicked and examined, copy to the System file, etc. like newer fonts can be. And in the System 7.0 docs, Apple tells us that Font/DA mover is no longer used... This stack tells how I used ResEdit (2.0 or higher) to add the necessary 'FOND' resource and includes graphics. This will allow you to double-click on an ancient bitmap font suitcase. NOTE: the user must be familiar with ResEdit before trying this!!

DTPPrinter.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:D:DTPPrinter.sit 0 16K 9/03/91 When Apple first introduced System 7 at the 1989 Developer's Conference, it included something called the 'New Print Architecture'. One of the really cool parts of the NPA were 'Desktop Printers'. This allowed you to have an icon on your desktop which represented a particular printer. You could then drag a document onto the particular printer icon, and it would print to that printer. Very useful when you have multiple Laserwriters, a Fax Modem, Print to Disk utility, etc. Well, the NPA disappeared, and with it 'Desktop Printers'....In order to correct this MAJOR oversight, I wrote DTPrinter which implements 'Desktop Printers' NOW under System 7.

(You can even move around directories if you really wanted to.) The document will reappear sometime during this process.
Bully.sit System7DL AMUG 15:Files:System 7:B:Bully.sit 0 8K 9/03/91 by Scott T Boyd, The MacHax Group. Copyright 1991, all rights reserved. I have a 2MB Macintosh that is sometimes the only one I have around to develop with. MPW just doesnt cut it with only 700k (which is all it gets with 7.0). Bully gets me what I need by killing Finder and using its space. With my setup, this can get me as much as 1.2MB. I built Bully with MPW Pascal on my 2MB machine while running System 7. To use Bully Quit everything you can or want to quit. Drop one application or document on Bully. Limitations Bully does not open the document you dropped, but it does find its application and get it launched for you.
