Space.app: 
a virtual workspace utility for Mac OS X
version 0.8, (fifth release) 4 June, 2002
free software distributed under the terms of the QPL
by Riley Lynch <riley@codeclever.com>

¨

Space.app provides "virtual workspaces" to help you to organize your use of the desktop. 

When you open Space.app, any non-hidden applications will be added to the first workspace. Switch to other workspaces by clicking on the buttons of the palette, by opening the dock menu and selecting a workspace, or by navigating between workspaces using global hotkeys. 

Switching to another workspace hides the applications in your current workspace, and "unhides" any applications associated with the new workspace. Applications that you open or switch to (e.g. using the dock or command-tab) become associated with your current workspace.

The "sticky" workspace has a special property: Any applications that you add to it will not be hidden when you switch to other workspaces.

Space.app is provided free of charge for individual and commercial use under the QPL, and may be redistributed according to the terms of that license. (See LICENSE.txt) The source code for Space.app and information about continued development is available from this website:

	http://space.sourceforge.net

If you're a developer for the Mac, please consider releasing some free software to help continue building a strong culture around this promising operating system. 

Known issues:

Switching between workspaces while applications are still in the process of hiding or unhiding may cause those applications to appear in different workspaces than you intended.
