DMG Maker 1.0.4 is yet one more update to this front end for creating disk images (.dmg or .img). It has numerous fixes.

DMG Fixer 1.0 Fixes .dmg OS X files that show up as TEXT files. Just drag and drop the bad file to the Fixer. We had this problem more than once, and fixed it ourselves (see previous item). Using DMG Fixer is quicker.

TinkerTool 1.31 is another update to this tool to help alter the appearance of OS X. For example, it can put a Trash can on the Desktop.

WhatSize 1.0 is a simple tool that allows the user to quickly check the size of any file on the computer - including "hidden" invisible files.

Tex-Edit Plus 4.1.2b4 is an OS X version of this scriptable, styled text editor that fills the gap between Apple's bare-bones SimpleText and a full-featured word processor.

OSXvnc is a program that allows you to view and interact with your Mac OS X desktop from another computer over a network. It's based on the VNC (Virtual Network Computing) protocol developed at AT&T Laboratories Cambridge.

QuickScrapBookX 1.0 is a ScrapBook program with group management support, fast search,< various image formats, and more.

OpenSSH 2.9p1 is a free version of the SSH suite of tools that are fully compatible with the three existing SSH protocols. They're free of the commercial use licensing restriction of the original SSH 2.x products, and can be built and installed with a minimum of fuss.
