Top 10 Utilities
1. resedit
-probably the most important of all Macintosh utilities for the Macintosh
programmer, or sophisticated tinkerer. It is, of course, a trivial matter
to utterly destroy your system software, etc. by misusing ResEdit, so it's
best to steer clear unless you're sure you know what you're doing.
2. Aaron
-a small extension that emulates what would have been the default Copland
3-D style user interface. Drop Aaron in your extensions folder, and when
you restart you will have Copland-style 3D buttons, menus, windows, scroll
bars, folder icons, pop-up menus, progress boxes and more! Your Mac will
look just like the Copland screen shots that used to be in all the Mac
magazines before
Apple abruptly abandoned the Copland
project.
3. Sound App -will play or convert sound files dropped onto it. Currently, it supports the following sound formats: SoundCap(including Huffman-compressed); SoundEdit (including stereo); AIFF, AIFF-C (MACE-3, MACE-6, IMA 4:1 and mu-law); System 7 sound; QuickTime MooV (soundtracks only, including MIDI movies); Sun Audio AU and NeXT .snd (including mu-law, a-law, 8- and 16-bit linear, G.721 ADPCM and G.723 ADPCM); Windows WAVE (including IMA- and MS ADPCM-compressed, mu-law and a-law); MPEG audio (layers I and II only, requires a Power Macintosh); Sound Blaster VOC; many varieties of MODs; ScreamTracker 3 (S3M) files; Amiga IFF/8SVX (including compressed); Sound Designer II; IRCAM; PSION sound files; DVI ADPCM; Studio Session Instruments; 'snd ' resources (including MACE-3, MACE-6, IMA 4:1 and mu-law).
4. Greg's Buttons - a control panel that colorizes and adds a 3-D appearance to the normal Macintosh buttons, check boxes and radio buttons. It also allows the background color of menus, Finder windows, alerts and dialog boxes to be customized. Also provides some control over the font used in menus and window titles. While it doesn't make your Mac any more useful, it does make the interface look a lot nicer. Recommended if you feel your Mac could use a facelift.
5. Finder Options -a utility that enables a number of hidden features in recent versions of the Finder (and does so without recourse to patches). Chief among those hidden features are: (1) control-drag to create aliases, (2) "Reveal Original" item (and associated command key shortcut) added to the Finder's File menu, and (3) command-delete sequence to place selected items in the Trash.
6. Desk Picture -allows you to display pictures on your desktop in place of the usual the background patterns. In fact, it lets you place any number of pictures on the desktop. The pictures can be tiled, scaled or cropped, and any of them can be setup to change to different pictures at regular or random intervals. Pictures may either be kept in memory for fast screen updates, or read from disk in order to minimize system memory usage at the expense of performance.
7. Sound
Machine -Sound Machine, by Rod Kennedy, plays and records SND/AU (mu-law,
A-law, linear) and AIFF/AIFC (MACE3, MACE6) sound files. It offers a plethora
of buttons during play to change speed, play backwards, loop sounds, switch
formats, etc. It imposes no restrictions on file size, and
playing can take place in the background.
SoundMachine is a good choice
for use as an "audio/basic" helper.
8. Sound Manager 3.1 -Available since the introduction of the Macintosh II in 1987, the Sound Manager is Apple's digital audio software solution that allows any application to play and record sounds using the built-in sound hardware found on Macintosh computers. Sound Manager 3.0, released in 1993, added support for 16-bit CD-quality audio, redirection of sound to third party hardware cards, and plug-in audio compression/decompression software (codecs).
9. Symbionts -an extension that monitors the startup process. Symbionts displays the name and number of bytes of memory each system extension allocates from the system heap. The name and number appear beneath the extension's icon, and since the name is usually truncated, Symbionts also displays it in the menu bar. Symbionts even shows the icons for those extensions that don't normally reveal themselves.
10. Flash-It -an INIT/cdev which provides screen capture and printing features. Works on color screens as well as black and white screens and it will capture menus while they are pulled down.
