Fetch 4.0.2 includes dozens of bug fixes, and new features such as support for longer-than-31-character file names. [OS 9 & X]

PrintMagic X 1.0 lets users select the text that they want to print in virtually any program -- anything from a single character to multiple pages - which eliminates the need to print an entire page or pages. It supports styled and colored text, a virtual Desktop Printer, and drag-and-drop printing.

ResPloder 1.5 explodes a Macintosh file's resource fork into folders of files. Each folder is a resource type and the files inside are the individual resources. ResPloder can also implode a ResPloded folder back into a file. This update adds a progress dialog, PICT file support, the ability to specify type and creators, and resource flags are preserved.

DropTBZ2 0.8 is a simple to use program which compresses files or folders dropped on its window as a .tbz archive (tar->bzip2) or .tgz, .tar, .zip. Note this program only creates the archives, it does not do file decompression. This update can now show compression rate for .tbz, icon dropping, and a new engine.
