********************************
I am looking for a program that allows me to launch an application
from the finder (in multifinder) without having to dig through many
folders. Preferably, it should also allow a "document" to be
double-clicked, say from a permanent finder-menu or an extended
keyboard key.
I understand that ICOM On-cue and Masterjuggler have such
capabilities. How are they different? Is one superior in this kind of
feature?
Also, are there any PD programs that can do this? I tried Oasis a
while back, but it's difficult to create equally spaced buttons, it's
not really a finder addition (but a replacement), pops up the
developer instead of closing when one clicks on the box (funny, ain't
it?), and doesn't shut down when I command the standard finder to shut
down.
Any information on this topic would be highly appreciated.
Also, what can I do if I bought myself a PMMU? I know about UNIX and
Connectix. However, the former is out of my price range, and the
latter doesn't use it to trap misguided programs. What I really would
like is a C compiler with a debugger which doesn't kill my OS if the
program runs amok. Is there a planned extension of MPW which can do
this?
And, finally, I had a program called Layout that would allow me to
make files snap to their positions always. It doesn't work with
6.0.2., unfortunately. Is there a new version?
Again, any information would be highly appreciated.
