Utilities Updates: Peek-a-Boo; Search & Rescue; Drop Drawers; Adobe SVG Viewer; Prowler; Relocated; more

Peek-a-Boo 1.6 is a utility to monitor and manipulate all running processes. You can watch and adjust how much CPU time each process uses. The update now allows you to select a process by starting to type its name. Peek-a-Boo 1.6 also allows left- and right-arrow keypresses to cycle through processes in the order that they're located in memory. Several minor bugs have been fixed.

Peek-a-Boo 1.6 has also implemented an Apple Event interface to enable third-party programs to use Peek-a-Boo's Special Technology feature to set process priorities. CSM Pack (mentioned next) now includes a module that uses this interface. This Apple Event interface, and an earlier one for telling Peek-a-Boo about Temporary Memory usage, are now available for programmers using a newly-available SDK.

CSM Pack 1.2 is a set of 6 modules that "make day to day tasks easier." The modules include: Peek-a-Boo Strip which controls how much CPU time the front application gets; IP View displays the IP address currently assigned to your machine; more. The update fixes a bug which prevented the registration key from working under OS 9.1.

Search & Rescue 3.0b2 allows you to recover lost data directly from your Mac's RAM. The update is now PPC native and will not expire. It fixes many bugs including a memory leak in Panic Key.

Drop Drawers 1.5.2 provides floating pull-out, snap-shut drawers on the sides of your screen to store text, URLs, aliases, pictures, sounds, movies and anything else. The update adds some minor usability improvements.

Adobe SVG Viewer 2.0RC1 is a plug-in that your Web browser will use to render Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).

Prowler 2.0 is an image browsing and management tool. The update adds the ability to create HTML "Image catalogs."

Ircle 3.1b9 is a Carbonized version of the popular Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client. DCC Send bugs (crashes) have been fixed.

Relocated 1.0b2 allows you to alter the "MAC" (Ethernet; not Macintosh) hardware address of your ethernet card(s) to whatever you prefer. The update adds support for more Mac models, including the Power Mac G4. A note from the vendor on VersionTracker states: "We've been getting mails from users who are getting "<Not available>" in the box where the current MAC address should be. This does not affect the functionality of Relocated..."

Gemini 1.2.3 lets you synchronize two folders by a few clicks.
