Subject: Attributes 1.1
to the keepers of the sumex archives:
please find 2 files ms-mail-binhex-enclosed:
(1) an ascii README file
(2) an .sea of a folder w/ everything related to the program
i am submitting these on behalf of John A. Schlack (the author) who is not
directly on the internet... until actually submitting this i did not know that
direct internet access is not necessary... i have sent him a copy of this
submission, as well as the sumex submission guidelines for future use... his
address is "john40@aol.com" if you wish to correspond with him directly...
"attributes" is a handy file utility that allows easy access to the
'creator', 'owner', 'stationary', 'locked', and other fields of information
kept by the finder about each file... with a simple drag-n-drop interface...
as i understand the sumex file layout, attributes seems like something
that would go in either "/info-mac/disk" or "/info-mac/util"... i think that
john would like to know where it ends up, so that he can tell internet users he
knows... so he would probably appreciate a quick note from you confirming the
posting and describing where it has been put... if that is possible, please
send me a cc: so that i know he has that information...
thanks,
mark

What Is Attributes ?
Attributes is a flexible program designed to alter file
information using a drag-and-drop interface. Drag a set of file /
folder / disk icons onto this program's icon and Attributes will change
the file information according to user specification. This function
only works on files. Dropping folders or disks onto Attributes will
modify the information of the contents of the folders or disks.
Information that can be modified includes date and time of file
creation / last modification, creator, file type, invisibility, and lock
/ unlock attributes. The user can operate on all files or files that
matching specified criteria (such as creator, file type, etc.) while in
the batch mode. If only a single file is dropped on the Attributes
icon, it's characteristics can be modified interactively.
This program is quite useful for a variety of circumstances:
* toggling Teach Text documents from read only to editable
* transferring text files between the Mac and IBM PCs (permits
definition of a program to launch [creator] when double clicking
on the file from the Finder)
* altering the creation and modification dates and times of groups
of files (useful for programmers when releasing new versions of
software and support files)
* hiding files in the Finder
* locking groups of files to prevent them from being altered or
deleted accidentally
* interactive editing of a file's characteristics
* others limited only by the imagination

AutoAssassin 1.1
(c) 1992 Bill Monk
This freeware INIT comes courtesy of ZiffNet/Mac.
If you've ever come across a corrupted alias, and gone through the hassle of
fixing it; or if you've wished for a faster way to find an alias' original, or
the comments thereof; this is just what the doctor ordered.
Whenever the Finder forgets where an alias points, AutoAssassin will display a
dialog asking if you would like to delete the corrupted alias, ignore the
problem (you might want to do this if you have an alias to an unmounted disk,
or a server that's gone down), or to recreate the link to the original. If you
choose the third option, AutoAssassin will display a standard file dialog, and
recreate the link upon opening the original.
Some more goodies:
Command-double-clicking on an alias, or command-selecting an alias from the
Apple Menu sends a <Find-Original> Apple Event to the Finder.
Control-double-clicking an alias, or control-selecting an alias in the Apple
Menu sends a <Get-Original's-Info> Apple Event to the Finder.
AutoAssassin requires System 7.0 or later. It is 32-bit clean, virtual memory
capable, and Quadra cache-compatible. Known incompatibilities: it is completely
incompatible with HAM 1.0, and must load after Kiwi PowerWindows.

Subject: BAD-init resubmition
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THIS INIT ON THE LISTS
LATELY, SO I THOUGHT I'D UPLOAD IT. HERE'S THE ORIGINAL HEADER:
From: shores@fergvax.unl.edu (Shores)
BADInit by Giuseppe Carnevale. This *WONDERFUL* INIT can save seemingly lost
floppy disks from the bit bucket. Ever had a "File couldn't be written and
was skipped?" Of course you have, and this INIT fixes all that. The INIT fools
the disk's desktop file into thinking that files are occupying the bad sectors
of the disk so you can write to the good parts of the disk too. When you get
a bad disk that had been formatted and had files on it, salvage the good files
and tell the finder to reformat it. When the finder fails, it will eject the
disk, but after you hit "ok" in the "Initialization Failed" dialog, another
dialog will popup asking you if you want to format it using BAD. Hit OK to
work BAD's magic. Likewise, with a brand new floppy that fails under the
Finder's initialization, BAD will format it, most likely leaving over 95% of
the disk still useable. Obviously one wouldn't want to put one's only copy
of a doctoral thesis on the disk, but you can still use the disk for trivial
tasks.

Subject: [*] Blindfold
Steve Waechter asked for a copy of Blindfold. No sooner said than done,
Steve. Here is the program, from the CompuServe MACSYS forum. The liner
notes for the program are:
Make files and folders visible or invisible in the Finder. Useful for hiding
private files or cleaning up ugly desktop clutter. Files are modified
through an open file dialog, or in Drop Box mode. Scans all directories
selected in Drop Box mode, so entire directories or disks can be modified.
Updated (bug fix) version of Visibility 1.0.
One more of the Drop Rob-Box family.
This utility can be used without System 7.

This is release 2.1 of the BNDL Bundle. It gives informative Icons to those generic files that always seem to be laying around, especially on large hard drives. With this utility, you can easily figure out which application was used to create an unidentified document, so that you can either find a copy of the application and open the file, or find a compatible application for it's file type.

This is the latest version of CatFinder. CatFinder is a
powerful disk management tool that catalogs your disks and
provides a Finder-like interface for browsing the catalogs.
This latest version corrects some problems with the stuffit
archive support.

Date: Fri, 15 Oct 1993 03:21:26 +0200 (EET)
CD Coyote is a program for CD-ROM drive users who listen to audio
CD's and has written disc information to CD Remote DA and wish to
make a TEXT file of that information. CD Coyote is FREE!
CD Coyote needs System 7 or later to run. You also need to have
CD Remote (or to be precise the CD Remote Programs file) to get
the information from.
Changes from the first release:
- Added to look for CD Remote Programs file from System folder too.
- Removed automatic saving if drag-and-drop is used.
