Drag & drop an application to AppHider and the app will be "hidden" from the Finder. Why, you may ask, would you want to do that? Well, let's say you have two versions of the same app and you want the Finder to temporarily use the older version when launching documents. Just drag the newer app to AppHider and it will be hidden from the Finder. An example: SimpleText and TeachText both have the same creator signature: 'ttxt'. If you have both apps installed, chances are that the Finder will use the latest version, SimpleText, for all 'ttxt' created files. To force the Finder to use TeachText instead, without erasing SimpleText, simply drag SimpleText to AppHider. Another popular use is to hide Word 6.0 in favor of 5.1 - with AppHider you can have both installed! To undo a hidden app, simply double click on the app and AppHider will unhide it. (The app will appear as a plain document icon when hidden.) If you hold down the control key when double clicking the hidden app, it will be launched instead of unhidden. (As of v1.2 this action is reversible.) Changes for version 1.3: Preference option to report errors with dialog instead of just a System beep. Control key is used instead of option key because holding down option when opening a file causes the Finder to close the file's window. (Thanks to Alan Weissman for pointing out this "unintentional feature" :-) When an app is first dragged to AppHider, the 'type' is changed to the 'creator' and the 'creator' is changed to AppHider's signature. When the hidden app is processed, the 'creator' is changed to 'type' and the 'type' is changed back to 'APPL'. Simple! I wrote this utility when working on an "updater" that had to deal with 5 different versions of an application - AppHider enabled me to easily "enable" a given version of the program. AppHider should work on any Mac running system 7 or better. It isn't PPC native because it doesn't need to be, trust me! ;-) AppHider is "ThankYouWare". If you find it useful, all you have to do is say "thank you".

It is very fast, supports drag&drop, is PowerPC native (but also fast on any other Mac with at least a 68020 CPU), and is bilingual (English/German). CDFinder is shareware (15 US$ for a single user license) and quite popular already. The new version launches much faster (especially if you have a lot of catalog files) due to a catalog cache file it creates. The size of the main window can now be changed and it is possible to drop more than one volume at once into the main window. The new "about" window displays a lot of interesting information about your catalogs and has a link to the CDFinder-Homepage. The "please insert" dialog was imporved and now displays the comment and the label of the catalog as well as a new menu to eject any currelty mounted volumes. A few minor bugs were corrected and the speed was improved a little again. Give it a try! Norbert M.

You can now just tap the TrackPad to click the mouse button, double-tap to double-click, or tap-drag to lock the button down for dragging. Features New or Improved in ClickPad II: * ClickPad II is more responsive during heavy trackpad usage and "dozes" when you stop using the trackpad to reduce CPU & power usage (and so allowing your PowerBook to sleep). * You can now "lock" the trackpad button down, allowing drags and menu selections without using the (physical) trackpad button.

Do you like the Next LeAP by Hans Trygve Jensen and The NeXT Copland by Nathan Raymond? They're both very good, but I couldn't ever decide which one of them to use. McB-NeXT was born to be a hybrid of those two with some additional stuff; standard Mac, Be, SGI and some of my own.

If you don't know what these are, then you don't need Midi Thru. Midi Thru simply connects a controller synth to a slave synth. Midi Thru allows you to slave a synth, sending on the midi channel of your choice. It's great for those times when you don't want to fire up a major memory eating sequencing program to use as a midi thru or when you want to write lyrics in your word processor and don't have enough memory left to fire up your memory hogging midi sequencer or if you just want to jam on that favorite synth module. Its a simple program that does one thing and one thing well. It's a Midi Thru !!!! Midi Thru works on any mac running sys 7.0 and up with at least 1.5 meg of free ram. Midi Thru is now a Fat Binary, which means it will run in the fast native mode on power macs. Best of all Midi Thru is absolutely free of charge. Yes, thats no $$$BUCKS$$$!
