QIM allows you to create straightforward an installer for distributing any kind of file. You can build your own 68k, PPC or FAT installer application in a very simple way, choosing many features such as: compression, target processor, computer restarting, destination folder. The Built Installer can show your own logo in its main window as well as a scrolling styled "Read Me" text in its splash screen and also a scrolling styled help text. Both texts may have embedded Picts.

Even if you will never create an installer, QIM will be anyway useful: becoming the archiving application of your choice, since any single QIMDocument (QIMD) holds compressed items without limits.
QIM can also create compressed archives, BinHex and MacBinary files for a more convenient, free, world distribution. Last, but not least, QIM can create SEA applications.
QIM is shareware, it costs less than a small utility and anyone should afford it.
QIM requires at least System 7 to run.
QIM is Internet Config, Drag Manager and Navigation Manager aware moreover it's Appearance savvy. Balloons available.
Why to say more about QIM? Any technical analysis would be very prosy: you'd better try it.
YellowExtractor, formerly QIMExtractor, may extract from QIM compressed archive and QIMDocuments. It may also decrypt files encrypted with The MacLocksmith, if you own the right password, naturally. In addition it may decode Binhex and MacBinary files.

Witchdoctor is a program that allows the user to manipulate files in several way by means of plug-ins. It has two kind of plug-ins: Watcher (the plug-in that does everything) and Module (a plug-in containing resources). You may create plug-ins, quickly and easily using Witchdoctor itself. After its creation a Watcher can perform up to five series of actions:
1) Nothing. Two ways file conversion (docA<->docB). One way file conversion (docA->docB, docB->docA). According to file opened, and following the plug-in setting, Witchdoctor may change Finder Infos, add resources from a Module or may zap the whole Res Fork. For example: up until now in order to create self-extracting compressed archive, you need to open the document with whatever program goes with it, then save it as a self-extractor. Now instead, after you've created the appropriate plug-in, you can just drop the document on Witchdoctor, and it will output a self-extractor, and vice versa. You may also create simple de-sea plug-ins or else custom plug-ins to just change types and creators of specific files.
2) File filter. The Watcher, here, may stop itself or else continuing according to its setting.
3) Nothing. File's Finder flag bits changing (stationery, locked, invisible and so on). The Watcher allows you to change all bits or else what you want.
4) Nothing. Type and/or Creator changing. Unlike the first action, here the Watcher may change without perform any check.
5) Nothing. File deletion. Direct file launching. File launching by means of alternate applications. File duplication. File trashing. File copying. Alias creation.
You may select manually the plug-in that should work, or let Witchdoctor choose the appropriate one. In a few words plug-ins creation is limited only by your creativity. By using a bit of fantasy you may create plug-ins for (little) security erasing, or to launch a self-extracting archive after its creation, or to open all dragged files by using one alternate application, or to open any dragged file by using several alternative applications. And so on...
Last but not least, Witchdoctor may create Witchcraft! Witchcrafts are stand-alone applications containing a Watcher and, optionally, a Module. You may create Witchcrafts as 68K, PPC or FAT application type. They work just as a Watcher selected manually. As bonus Witchcrafts may contain custom About boxes.
