FWB BackUp ToolKit 2.2 is the latest version of this full-featured backup utility.

PrefsOverload 3.0b4 is a beta version of this tool for managing the Preferences Folder. The update now has the ability to run also on 68k machines.

Iomega Mac Driver 3.0.4 contains Iomega Driver 6.0.9, Iomega FireWire Support 1.1.6, and Iomega USB Support 1.4.6 only. A note on VersionTracker states: "Very little is known about this update. It appears to be a stripped-down version of IomegaWare, with only the drivers included."

Shift Key Suite 1.0.6 disables the Shift key at startup so you cannot use it to bypass extension loading; useful for security protection based on an extension. It also has other "features to extend the functionality of most of the password protection systems." The update adds compatibility for the Mac OS 9.2 and 9.2.1.

Screenlock 1.0 will keep others from using your Mac when you're not there. It has a password field, but that's just for confusion. The real way you quit screenlock is by holding Option and clicking Enter Password.

FlightCheck Classic 4.12 scans native digital documents created with QuarkXPress, PageMaker, Photoshop, Illustrator, FreeHand, Multi-Ad Creator, FrameMaker, PDF and Postscript. FlightCheck will alert the user to over 150 potential prepress problems with any file and suggest possible resolutions before they disrupt the output and printing process. The update fixes a potential memory problem in scanning EPSFs.

FlightCheck Classic Collect! 4.12 assists designers as well as service providers in preflighting all major DTP files such as QuarkXPress, Adobe's Illustrator, Photoshop and PDF, Macromedia's FreeHand, and Multi-Ad Creator. The update fixes a potential memory problem in scanning EPSFs.
