It provides many of the essential features of the commercial SuperBoomerang and Directory Assistance utilities, but without the infrequently used extras that take their toll in compatibility, memory, and CPU usage. And it's fully compatible with Mac OS 8.1. Default Folder's time-saving Open and Save dialog enhancements allow you to: - Set up a default folder for any or all applications. - Switch among recently used folders from a pop-up menu. - See available disk space and switch between disks from a pop-up menu. - Click on a Finder window to display it in an Open or Save dialog. - Open the folder shown in an Open or Save dialog in the Finder. - Create folders, get information (including changing name, type, and creator), and move items to the Trash from within file dialogs. - "Rebound" back to the last file you used. - Make "Replace" the default option instead of "Cancel" when saving a file with the same name as an existing file. - Speed up the display of Open and Save dialogs by turning off custom color icons in the file list. Default Folder will operate on any Macintosh running System 7 or higher. In addition to the standard internet archives, information and updates are available at: Default Folder may be included on the UMich and Info-Mac CD-ROMs. Version 2.8.1 incorporates the following changes: ----------------------------------------------- Feature Additions: - The folder menu in Open/Save dialogs now contains an item to open the folder that contains the current application. - New Default Folder Strip control strip module. Default Folder Strip provides access to recently used and favorite folders in the Finder. Bug Fixes: - Default Folder's support for Graphic Converter 3.1's "Convert More" command was not working correctly. Pressing the option key in "Convert More" will now correctly switch the file listing to the folder currently under the mouse cursor. - Worked around a bug in Apple's Japanese Language Kit, which caused Open and Save dialogs in control panels to take several minutes to display. - The number keys on the keypad are now supported as command keys for Default Folder's permanent folder menu items.

Ever wished you could stop the Apple Guide or other help systems swinging into action when you hit the 'Help' key by accident instead of the delete key? Tired of waiting for Apple Guide to start up while you're busy trying to edit a document? Then HelpLess is what you're looking for. HelpLess is a System Extension and Control Panel that helps people with extended keyboards avoid the annoying delay that occurs when the Help key is hit by accident instead of the delete key. Without HelpLess installed there can be quite a long delay while the current application launches it's help system in response to the "help" key being pressed. For example in the Finder there is a delay while Apple Guide is launched. With HelpLess installed hitting the "help" key causes nothing more that a simple beep to be played. This alerts the user to their mistake and they can then just carry on typing without waiting for the help system to swing into action. When you want help to appear you can just hold down a modifier key and HelpLess will make it look like you pressed the 'Help' key. A simple control panel interface lets you turn it's activity on/off, control if a beeps will sound, and choose which modifier key to use. Compatible with System 7.0 upwards including MacOS 8.

The goal is to push boxes through a twisty, crowded maze to their correct destinations. The challenge comes in having to plan ahead: in the process of moving the first box, you might accidently push another one into a corner where you can't get it out. Or you might push the second box next to a third box, then later realize you can't push the third box without pushing the second one into a corner. And so on.... Levels can be easy enough for a child or difficult enough to keep an expert puzzled for hours. Fortunately, you can skip the hard levels and come back to them later. This is an update to version 2.3. New features include: - Optionally plays sounds while moving - You can use the space bar to redo (very handy!) - Solved levels in external collections are remembered - Undo works on entire actions instead of one step at a time - Updated my addresses - More-visible crosshair cursor Other features: - Over 400 levels, separated into collections. Most are challenging for adults, but one collection is designed for young children. - Infinite undo - Easy-to-use movement controls automate potentially tedious parts of a level, letting you dedicate your energy to the interesting parts. - Can make your own levels and share them easily For more info, visit http://members.aol.com/SokobanMac/ System 7 or higher (including MacOS 8) is recommended, but Sokoban also works with system 6.

Probably that many of you know about this great shareware, but I would like to comment on InformInit. I got it on a CD which came with the last number of SVM Macintosh from France (available in Canada). In the beginning, I taught it was another of those great OFTEN MISLEADING effort to catalog all of those things there is in the System Folder. After careful reading, the guy seems to be damn right about everything. I read all the explanations carefully. I just reinstalled my system 7.5.3 updated to 7.5.5 from scratch because I wanted to get a clean System and get rid of Open doc and other things like that. I added many things over the years and I was not satisfied with the state of my System. Three days later I was finished with the job and InformInit help me a lo with the final touch. The cost is a mere 15$ U.S. and the payment is very easy. The latest version is at http://www.AmbrosiaSw.com/DEF/InformInit.html I am not related to the author and I do not have any financial interest in this product. But, by supporting it, we will be doing justice to someone who did a great job.
