THESE ARE MY FAVOURITE MAC UTILITIES...
Compression Programs
CompactPro
CompactPro is my favourite compression utility. I have known it to compress files down to 1% of their original size!
Shareware $US 25
MacLHA
LHA is a commonly used compression format on PCs and Amigas. Many MODs are compressed this way.
Freeware
StuffitExpander
StuffitExpander is a neat utility that can uncompress nearly every Macintosh compression format.
Freeware
ZipIt
ZIP files are very common on the PC. Files can be zipped or unzipped by ZipIt.
Shareware $12
File and Disk Utilities
PowerPCheck
Drag a file onto PowerPCheck, and it'll tell you if it's native.
Shareware $5
ShrinkWrap
Drag a disk image onto ShrinkWrap, and it'll mount it on your desktop. You can access it just like any other disk.
Freeware
Music Utilites
PlayerPro 4.4.2
Amiga friends teasing you because you can't play MOD files? Want background music while you work? Then PlayerPro is for you! It plays MOD files and lets you compose your own on the Mac. This link will take you to the "Sound Utilities" page. The latest version of PlayerPro can be downloaded from there.
Shareware $US 20
SoundTrecker 2.2
This is another MOD player. In some areas this is better than PlayerPro, in others, PlayerPro is much better. I recommend you try both. This link will take you to the "Sound Utilities" page. The latest version of SoundTrecker can be downloaded from there.
Shareware $30
Now that you've got a MOD player, why not download some MODs? Here are my favourite MOD sites:
The U4ia MODs page.
The MOD Archive.
The top ftp archive in Europe's MOD directory
FUNET's MOD directory
- Note: The MOD files stored on the above sites are LHA compressed. You will need MacLHA to uncompress them.
- Alternatively, you could download some of my MODs:
Pixie Boogie This is the first MOD I wrote.
Butterfly Rock
