File Locator - a file search utility that actually works
The MetroTools shell is extendable so that you can create your own tools and add them to the MetroTools panel. MetroTools provides a set of support methods to make creating tools a snap.
The file MetroToolsAPI.tar.Z is available on the popular FTP archives and in the Compuserve NeXT Forum libraries, It contains documentation of the API in WriteNow format, header files, and source code for a sample MetroTools tool (a drag-and-drop hex file viewer) and an additional NiteLite (MetroTool's bundled screen saver) module called "Blob".
A demo version of MetroTools 1.1 will be available shortly on the FTP archives and will be distributed on the upcoming NeXT Third Party CD-ROM. Version 1.1 includes a radically enhanced Application Launcher which we believe is the most configurable and powerful dock extender on the market.
