Subject: [*] DupFinder 1.2.1


DupFinder can quickly and easily remove duplicate files from your hard disk
by replacing the duplicates with an alias of a "master" file. Eliminates
disk clutter as well as saving disk space. DupFinder is a Carbon
application, so it works with OS 8, 9, & X.

This is the Japanese version of the DupFinder package.

DupFinder can quickly and easily remove duplicate files from your hard
disk by replacing the duplicates with an alias of a "master" file.
Eliminates disk clutter as well as saving disk space.

Subject: [*] FloatingNotes 1.0.3


What's the point of having notes if they're buried by other application
windows and you can't see them? Sure, Stickies is free, but FloatingNotes
"floats" on top of all other application windows so you can always see them.
FloatingNotes uses no system extension, and best of all, FloatingNotes is a
Carbon application so it works under OS X as well!

FloatingNotes automatically saves all open notes when you quit. To
delete a note, simply close the window.

FloatingNotes requires OS X, or OS 8 or 9 and CarbonLib 1.3 or later.
CarbonLib is free and can be obtained from your "Software Update"
control panel.

This version fixes a problem with Japanese font display on Mac OS X.

Subject: General Controls

About not being able to save your preferences in the General Controls
panel, I had this problem too, on an iMac.

The solution was fairly simple -- just Trash your General Controls
preferences file. While you're at it, trash the Finder preferences as
well.

After rebooting, rebuild these.

I can't guarantee this will work for you, but it worked for me, with
the same problem and the same version of the Mac OS.

Subject: OS X: Insufficient privileges to empy trash?!

I'm the only user of my Mac, but I cannot empty my trash. I get a
dialog that I don't have the privileges. Some items will be deleted,
but others remain. How can I get rid of them?!?! Thanks! Cheers,

You were awfully quick to send a bunch of misguided kids to their
deaths as Islamic martyrs.
If it's so glorious to be a martyr for Islam, then why are you hiding, Osama?

Subject: Outlook Express 5.02 problem...

I'm currently running MacOS 8.6 on a PowerMac 6500/225 with 32 Mb of RAM.
Until recently, Outlook Express 5.02 has run smoothly with no problems.
However, now, when I open the program, in the left side panels, the INBOX is
marked with 25 messages, even when it's EMPTY! The same problem also
affects the OutBox and the Deleted Items Boxes.

To date, I've deleted and rebuilt the Desktop Database, twice. I've deleted
the OE preferences files, zapped PRAM, virus-scanned with Virex 6.1 with
October's update, all to no avail. The problem is more annoying than an
actual problem.

Can anyone diagnose my problem and help me? I'm fresh out of ideas.

THANKS,

Jeffrey Alaimo
