[8] Useful Utilities: Applimac Clean
Text 2.0, EZNote v2.0, Spring Cleaning, Quickie Photos, VOODOO Server
1.3.1
Applimac's Clean Text 2.0
for Mac OS and Mac OS X is a text-utility that eliminates all
text formatting, preparing text for pasting. It also performs
other useful functions, such as removing empty lines, removing
multiple spaces, removing forwarding characters from email text,
removing tab characters, converting straight quotes with curly
quotes etc.
EZNote v.2.0,
the utility that lets you quickly jot down a note and find it
later, has been upgraded. EZNote lets you copy text selections
for later reading, without copying and pasting between applications
or saving the text to a file. EZNote accomplishes these tasks
and more at the touch of a key or click of a mouse.
Spring
Cleaning 4.0 from Aladdin Systems, Inc., the #1 uninstaller
for the Macintosh, now boasts tools designed for Mac OS X and
expanded Internet file cleanup for improved ease-of-use and
innovative cleaning. Spring Cleaning provides 15 powerful cleaning
utilities to help users safely and easily remove hard drive
and Internet clutter to reclaim disk space and increase their
Mac's performance.
Quickie
Photos to web 1.0 is an application for quickly transferring
pictures to web pages. It allows the user options for formatting
the output html as the user sees fit. It creates not only an
index page (with thumbnails for all the images), but also creates
html pages for all of the individual images. The registered
user can use a custom template to let the user keep a design
just by adding the web album.
VOODOO
Server 1.3.1 for Mac OS X from Uni Software Plus is a version
control system for software developers using Metrowerks CodeWarrior
under Mac OS. Its unique client/server architecture forms the
basis for a multiuser version control environment that avoids
the risk of database corruption. The new release is a maintenance
release which contains a couple of bug fixes and improves compatibility
with Mac OS X.
