I. Introduction
Thanks for checking out MacArmyKnife (MAK)! MAK is a project that is on an evolutionary path. It is meant to be a "catch all" for mini-utilities and things that other apps don't do. You might find something to help out users, developers, and everyone under the sun. So launch the app, and see what it can do for you! If you find it has something of your liking, then please don't forget it's shareware. If it doesn't have anything you need, then check back in a future rev, as we might have added something you need. If there is some utility-esque function that you think it's crying out for, please send us your suggestion. We can't guarantee it'll be implemented, but it can't hurt to ask!
MAK Requirements: System 8.0 or later, and a PowerPC Macintosh.
II. What's New To This Version (2.5)
New Features:
All windows (optionally) now remember their last location on the screen.
Feature Enhancements and bug fixes:
Process Manager - Drag any type of application (normal, faceless background apps, etc.) into the Process Manager window and it will be launched for you. Also stopped incessant disk hits while the window was open.
Stop Watch - You can now hide all non-essential items to make the window really small if desired.
Using a new version of FATCarbon; resolves some issues on Mac OS 9.1 (CarbonLib 1.2).
New spiffy icon!

IV. About Chaotic Software
What is Chaotic Software all about?
We (Bob Bradley and Jason Giles) had many software ideas we wanted to release to a wider audience for test and use, and decided a company was the best way to go about it. So we formed this partnership that will, from time to time, produce new software products that we want on our Macs. Our main purpose is not to reinvent the wheel, but present solutions in certain areas of the software industry that we feel are either beleagured by featuritis, or have poor or no implemenations available.
