- Navigate through your catalog directly from the Finder.á
- Navigate through your catalog from Open/Save dialogs.á
- No application to launch to navigate through your catalog.á
- Use the Finder's 'Find' command (aka Sherlock) to search your catalog.á
- Navigate through your catalog remotely via the network.
- Work with a super-easy drag & drop interface and in the background.
- Catalog the contents of StuffIt archives.
- Appearance-savvy, Navigation Services-savvy, Aqua-savvy on MacáOSáX.
AutoCat 3 requires Mac OS X or Mac OS 8.6 or later with CarbonLib.
AutoCat can be included in CD-ROMs.
Happy AutoCataloging!

Subject: [*] Catalog Search FM 3.7, FM Pro 4-5 DB to catalog disks and folders
This FileMaker 4 (easily converted to FileMaker 5) database provides
drag and drop indexing of disks and folders. It gathers information
about each file, such as path, name, size, dates, type, creator etc.,
during indexing. Plus, it has the speed and power of a relational db.
Duplicate files can be determined almost instantly based on three
separate criteria (name, size and modification date).
The database is freeware, and has no locked layouts or password
protection. Modify it as you see fit. Needs Jon's Commands free
OSAX - see read me.
Version 3.7 fixes a recently discovered rare bug that would prematurely
stop the indexing process. Error handling is also improved from previous
releases.
A version that's compatible with the date settings of most European
systems is available by email request.

Abstract: Blobs is our own rendition of Peg Solitaire and HiQ - popular
thinking games similar to Chinese Checkers. The object of the game here is
simple .. as you jump Blobs over each other, the Blob that you jumped
disappears. To complete a level and advance, just end up with only 1 Blob
left on the board. Sounds simple enough, but there's a catch. You can only
jump a Blob directly over another that is within an adjacent position. Still
sound easy? Give it a go!
Game Play: 40-boards, Beginner to Advanced.

Subject: [*] Smart Window 2.0 (68k)
System Requirements
A 680x0 Macintosh with Mac OS 7.5 or later. A PowerPC version is also
available.
Version 2.0 - New features
Totally new: Smart Window has been split into Smart Window Agent and
Smart Window Remote Control. Smart Window Agent does the "dirty work"
behind the scenes; it is a Faceless Background Application (i.e.: it
is not listed into the Application Menu) and receives orders by Smart
Window Remote Control; the latter must be launched just to set the
preferences, launch or quit the Agent and register the application.
Using Smart Window Agent
As a Faceless Background Application, Smart Window Agent can be
launched as any other application: by double-click, using an alias
into the Startup Items, invoking it by Finder's "Open" command or via
AppleScript/AppleEvent. The only difference between Smart Window
Agent and a standard application is the way the Agent can be quitted;
to do so, the user must launch Smart Window Remote Control and click
on the button "Quit Agent". Considering that Smart Window Agent
should always remain active, the user will rarely need to quit it.
Smart Window helps the user to navigate the windows during a
drag&drop operation.
Moving a drag selection over a collapsed window's title bar, Smart
Window will automatically expand that window, letting the user choose
the drop location exactly (or continue the navigation using the
Finder "spring-loaded folders" feature); as soon as the drag is
completed or the user moves the drag selection over another window,
the auto-expanded window will be collapsed again automatically.
If the user moves the drag selection over a partially hidden window
and the owning application is in the foreground, Smart Window will
put in front that window, letting the user see its content entirely.
While dragging over a normal window's title bar, the user can decide
to collapse it pressing the Control key or collapse all windows of
the application that owns that window pressing the keys Control +
Option; depending on the user preferences, at the end of the
drag&drop sequence, Smart Window will restore the status of all
windows collapsed with one of the keyboard shortcuts.
Smart Window is an application that works transparently and does not
require a particular installation, so the user will never face
extension conflicts.
