Apple Mac OS Runtime for Java (MRJ) 2.2ea1is now available.

Apple USB DDK 1.3a4 is the latest "a" version of this "developer" software.

Fresh Start 1.0b1 is "a new program for handling Macintosh preferences and settings. Designed for use on Macintoshes that are shared by many users, Fresh Start restores preferences and settings to a standard state whenever the Macintosh is restarted. Fresh Start is aimed at workplace, school, library, stores -- wherever Macs are shared. Advanced home users may also appreciate its features."

Font Buddy 1.3b3 has been released.

A Better Finder Attributes 1.2 is a contextual menu plugin for the Macintosh Finder, which allows users to quickly change attributes such as creation and modification dates as well as the Finder flags of single or multiple files or folders. Up to now changing these attributes meant "hacking" them individually in ResEdit.

Empower Pro 5.6 "is a comprehensive security system, chosen by many large corporations, and featuring multi-level/multi-user access controls, enabling management of both folders and programs."

Prestissimo 1.5.1 is the latest update to the Mac OS enhancement utility.

FinderMenuTuner 0.9b3 has been released.

Keep It Up 2.2 can relaunch selected applications if for some reason they stop running (crashes, accidental quits,...).

OneApp Address Book 2.2 is out. It includes an improved import feature.

Days To Go 2.1.1 is out. This version of this reminder utility fixes two bugs related to selecting the color to use for the messages, and fixes a problem when editing dates that are set to occur later than the 28th of the month.

Imation SuperDisk 2.0a is out. It is the same driver as version 2.0 except that the installer has been modified to better support the splash picture and the wording of the easy install text restates the update requirements for your system.

VST USB Floppy Drive driver 2.0 is now out.

OrangePCi (for 400/500/600 series) has been released. It adds support for USB printers and USB floppy disk drives. (Thanks, Joel Vink.)

ATTO ExpressPro-Tools 2.2 has been released.
