• The File menu is rearranged somewhat, with some added features.
• Supports the launching of Aladdin’s CyberFinder bookmarks.
• Fixed some errors in the handling of memory.
• Probably some other stuff I can’t remember right now.
URL Clerk is a URL filer/launcher. I’m not going to detail all of it’s features here, as it provides comprehensive Balloon Help, which should hopefully explain everything. Briefly, though, here are some features:
• URLs are stored in standard files, so they could be placed in the Apple Menu for easy access.
• Any text or clipping file that contains a valid URL can be dragged onto URL Clerk, and the URL will be opened (or the file can be dragged onto the included Bookmarker application, which will turn it into a URL Clerk file).
• URL Clerk supports manual URL entry. This is useful when, for example, somebody posts a URL without the <http://> or <ftp://> prefix, meaning you can’t command-click on it to launch it (command clicking on URLs is a feature offered by the excellent NewsWatcher program and the similarly excellent ICeTEe extension). You can, however, copy it to the clipboard, type the appropriate prefix in URL Clerk’s “New URL…” dialog, and paste the URL after it, ready to be launched or saved.
• URLs can be launched automatically at a specified time. This is not the most useful feature in the world, and several dedicated utilities do it better, but I threw it in anyway.
URL Clerk is PPC and 68k native. It requires System 7.1 or later, and probably would be most happy with 7.5. Also needed is Internet Config 1.1 or later, available at: <ftp://ftp.share.com/pub/internet-configuration/>
