Having recently acquired a new batch of desk accessories, I created an 
entire disk devoted to them. I would like to know if there are any more
out there that I don't know about.

Scrapbook 		Standard
Control Panel		Standard
Calculator		Standard
Key Caps		Standard
Note Pad		Standard
Puzzle			Standard
RPN Calculator		Old System/D.A.M.
Alarm Clock		Standard
Clock			Old System/D.A.M.
Executive Dec Maker	D.A.M.
FRP Die Roller		D.A.M.
Uriah Heap		Software Supplement
Hex Calculator		???
Heap Doctor		Ancient
RAM display		Ancient
Journal			Ancient
Monkey			Ancient
Trap list		Ancient (Alll of these came from a system dated 10/83)
The bug			burt sloan/Apple
Trails			Macromind
Calendar		SUMACC
Print			SUMACC

Other desk accessories include a few more from the "ancient" disk above such
as PatEdit and keyboard test which became control panel and key caps respec-
tively and are thus not on the list.

Non P.D. desk accessories include

Business Analyst. (non-functional demo is P.D.)
A set put out by megahaus, some of which are only useful with Megafiler.
 
That is the complete list that I have heard of (not necessarily seen)
If you can add to this list, please post it on INFO-MAC.

I have seen a desk accessory called "Remap Keyboard", which allows you to change
the keyboard style (limited choice, however), on a disk from the "San Diego
Macintosh User Group". Also, there is an advertisement in the November issue of
Macworld, which mentions some desk accessories (p. 17; Creighton Development
inc. (714) 476-1973): an improved alarm clock, a desk accessories editor,  a new
puzzle and then several types of calculators -it is not clear, however, whether
these are desk accessories or applications. I have not seen any of these
programs, nor have I called the company.
Would it, by the way, be possible to have the full set of desk accessories
on <INFO-MAC> at SUMEX? I would be interested in seeing some of them.
