As a new MacIntosh owner, and a relatively recent follower of this newsgroup, I'd like some information on software utilities and desk accessories people have found useful/indispensable. What are the essentials for any competent Mac owner and what is the best source for getting copies (UGs, BBSs, distributors, etc.?). Some of the things I have in mind are: text editors, hard disk file utilities, binary file "patchers", disassemblers, print spoolers, RAM disks, backup and archiving programs, calendar/appointment book, etc. I'd prefer public domain or shareware programs, but would consider commercially distributed products if their functionality warrants the extra money. Please e-mail me your responses, and if there is enough response, I'll attempt to summarize to the network. Thanks! Kurt Marko {ihnp4,ulysses,...}!aluxz!krm
