AutoBuild 1.0.1
Extension for System 7 and later.
Written by Rene G.A. Ros.
Freeware.
This extension deletes automatically, at preset intervals, the
Desktop Database which is maintained by the system (since 7.0)
for every volume larger than 2 Mb. After deletion it is then
rebuilt by the Finder. It also deletes the Desktop Database when
the extension is moved to another disk, which is useful for
harddisk-update software like LikeWise.
Unfortunally, version 1.0 was incompatible with certain Macintosh
models regarding the functions to mount all disks. This is rewritten
based on suggestions from Pete Resnick and Francois Pottier, and
should no longer cause any problem.

Subject: AutoFlush 1.0
AutoFlush is a system extension which will help to prevent
those unwanted corrupted resource files. When your computer
system crashes, is reset by the programmer's switch, or is
turned off without shutting down, it is possible for one or
more resource files to be damaged because your drive was not
"Flushed." A hard drive's data is not written to the actual
disk until its data is flushed out of a buffer. If your
computer is restarted or crashes after a resource file has
been modified but not written to disk, that file could become
corrupt. Most often this occurs to the System file which is
always open and changing.
AutoFlush forces the system to flush the volume right after
one of the critical resource manager calls is executed.
Whenever the computer does the following calls, AutoFlush
will make sure that the System volume is flushed right away:
AddResource
ChangedResource
RmveResource
WriteResource
UpdateResFile
AutoFlush is FreeWare. All standard disclaimers apply, so use
this software at your own risk. If you have any questions or
problems, I can be reached at the following addresses:

Extension Kit is a System 6/System 7 extension manager which allows
you to create ten custom "kits". You can choose which kit to load at
boot time, and set one kit as the default. Too many features to
INIT-Scope 2.1 is an extension (INIT)/ Control Panel combination
that tells you everything you ever wanted to know about the
behavior of your computer during the startup process. Also, it
lets you skip any INIT by simply holding down the Shift Key.
INIT-Scope produces a text file called Startup Report that tells
you all about your system environment - such as the amount of
installed RAM, type of computer, type of keyboard, and the values
of important memory locations. For each INIT or Control Panel it
tells you which traps the INIT patches and where the patches are
placed. It tells you what resources were loaded in and where. it
(optionally) gives a detailed trap history of the loading
process.
The report tells you all about the loading of Drivers,
VBL routines, Time Manager routines, Shut Down routines, and
Notification Requests (the actual text of Notification Requests
is stored in the report file). If any low memory globals are
changed by the INIT, then INIT-ScopeUs report will tell you so.
You can (optionally) choose to monitor the value of any
particular global in greater detail. The amount of System RAM and
High Memory RAM used by each INIT is reported, too. INIT-Scope
does not patch any traps itself and stays transparent to the
loading process. You can intercept any INIT with a debugger just
as it loads and is about to execute.
While the report produced by INIT-Scope is of greatest value to a developer or other technical person, the report can be used by virtually anyone to determine possible causes of problems during the loading process.
Version 2.1 fixes a bug that made the text file unreadable with
some word processors and also makes it possible to properly
intercept an INIT using MacsBug.

PBGadget version 0.9 fixes a bug where it reported Duo level battery
voltages on some non-Duo powerbooks. Please replace
app/pbgadget-05.hqx and gui/pb-gadget-08.hqx with this version.
Features in version 0.8: an indicator bar of how much time is left
until the disk spins down. My luck was that the disk would spin down
just before I needed to do a save, so I wanted some sort of indicator.
PBGadget is a small application to help manage battery usage on
Powerbook Duo's. It puts up a clock and battery voltage readout in the
upper right corner of the screen. When the power supply is unplugged,
the clock changes to a timer of how long the Duo has been running on
battery power. A vertical bar on the left side of the time window
indicates much time there is left until the disk spins down.
There are five cmdkey commands.
p puts up a history Plot of the battery voltage.
n spins the disk down Now.
d reinitializes the disk spindown timer. (double clicking does the same)
s puts the powerbook to Sleep.
cmd-r Resets the history plot. (The history wraps after 8.5 hours.)
cmd-w changes the cursor to a Watch
(this prevents the processor from napping or auto-sleeping).
cmd-c copies the battery voltage history as text to the clipboard.
cmd-q quits.
For Duo's, at the bottom of the plot there is extended power manager
status, battery pack voltage (old & new) , battery power draw in Watts,
battery pack temperature and duo internal temperature in degrees C,
backlight brightness, LCD contrast and processor speed information.
Hold down the mouse button to also get the battery pack serial number.

suite of diagnostics that exercises each hardware component and reports
results in an intuitive, easy-to-understand format. Peace of Mind is
ideal for testing of existing hardware as well as for verification of
new hardware additions or alterations. Peace of Mind offers two
complementary user environments: a simple-icon driven interface for
quick system analysis and a power-user interface capable of customizing
and controlling individual system tests. Moreover, Peace of Mind can be
configured to run interactively or in loop mode for extended testing.

All Rights Reserved.
Peeping Tom is a shareware init/background application that
keeps track of the current applications and desk accessories
that are open. When processes are quit, Peeping Tom writes
the information that it has on the dead process to a text file
in the System Folder. The log file shows information on when
each process was started and the total time it ran. Peeping
Tom also shows the average CPU usage of the process. The
percentage represents how much the process used of the CPU
while the process was running.
Peeping Tom is very useful for monitoring computers. Peeping
Tom sits in the background and silently monitors the user's
activities. It keeps track of time spent on the computer,
which is perfect for those who bill their customers on a hourly
basis. Peeping Tom outputs to a text file that can then be
easily searched.
While running, Peeping Tom takes almost no processing time
away from other applications. Because of this, the times in
the log file can be off by as much as five seconds (which is
a very small price to pay). Peeping Tom comes alive every
five seconds and scans for processes. Any process's that have
died are immediately logged to the log file.
The default file type is 'TEXT' and the default creator type
is 'KAHL'. This can very easily be changed using a program
like ResEdit. I have created a template to make the changing
of these settings very easy.
Peeping Tom requires System 7 because of the Process Manager
dependence.

PowerBook 180c Screen Tester
by David M. Meleedy
The Powerbook Screen Tester program for the 170 and 180 was
already written, but I wanted to have the flexibility to check each
element ( red, green, blue ) for my new 180c. So I wrote this screen
tester program which cycles between black-white-red-green-blue to test
the active matrix screen. You can also just flip between black and
white using the appropriate keys if you have a 170 or a 180.
Why test the screen? Well, there is nothing more frustrating
than dishing out thousands of dollars, only to find out that there is a
burnt out pixel in the just the right place to really annoy you. Before
you go and buy a powerbook with an active matrix screen, take this
program along with you to make sure the machine you buy has the best
screen possible.
This program is freeware, but if you really have a need to express
your gratitude, you can email me at:

dark beers!
