They allow QuicKeys to open and close PPP and test whether it is open or closed, doing a decision or jump on the outcome. The MacPPP Quickeys need QuicKeys 3.0 or better and System 7.0 or better and are fully compatible with MacOS 8. They work with all versions of MacPPP, FreePPP and OT/PPP available at the time of writing, including FreePPP 2.6, and are quite happy for you to switch between them without restarting. New in Version 2.0: * Updated for compatibility with FreePPP 2.6 and OT/PPP. * Auto-detects the relevant flavour of PPP, even if it is changed without restarting. * Fixed the bug whereby FreePPP 2.5 with MacTCP would only connect once.

ActiveDrag is a small system extension that will allow you to drag windows on your screen LIVE. That is, the window will actually move as you drag it. There are a few problems with this nifty live dragging utility. First, windows that are partially off screen (outside of the monitor viewing area) cannot be dragged live. Second, when dragging, windows in the same program of the dragged window will not update. This is because the code that draws the dragged window hogs the process for that application. Thirdly, dragging a window requires some RAM. If that RAM isn't available, the window will not be drawn correctly. This utility is freeware.

Chronomenon runs in the background as well as in the foreground, so the alarm can still be heard while running other software. Chronomenon displays a small message clock on the screen, and this may be hidden for convenience. Even if you shut down the computer and restart it before the alarm is set to go off, Chronomenon's alarm remains set, because, along with other data--such as the message to be displayed and spoken--the alarm time is saved. Chronomenon makes a great startup item! System Requirements: Chronomenon can be run on any Macintosh using System 7 or greater. Spoken messages are possible if Apple's PlainTalk speech software is installed. User-selected sounds, MIDI files, and movies can be played if QuickTime is installed. To download and unstuff Chronomenon, you will need at least 600K of hard disk space. Version History: Chronomenon 1.0.1 fixes a problem Chronomenon 1.0 has in dealing with QuickTime movies. The problem in Chronomenon 1.0 is that if a movie is opened after the alarm is set, Chronomenon 1.0 will not play that movie. Chronomenon 1.0.1, however, will play a movie opened after the alarm is set.

It lets you connect or disconnect PPP and open the TCP and PPP control panels. It also indicates whether PPP is open or not by a mere glance at its icon, records the time you spend online, shows your IP address and activity, and lets you switch between saved configurations. It now works with all versions of MacPPP, FreePPP and OT/PPP available at the time of writing, (including FreePPP 2.6 but excluding AOL link or AT&T WorldNet, which use proprietary code). Q: There are millions of PPP control strips: why use this one? A: Because it: * Combines the features of all the other control strips in one simple module. * Unlike certain other control strip activity meters, this one works smoothly. * Works with _all_ the current versions of PPP, even if you switch among them without restarting. * Is standalone and doesn't require any extensions, scripting additions, installers or similar baggage. * Is carefully optimised to use as little CPU time as possible. * Runs PowerPC native if you're using Extensions Strip 1.2 or greater. * Monitors OT/PPP directly, using an efficient, asynchronous C interface, and doesn't go blasting AppleEvents around your Mac every second, which is what some others do. New in Version 2.0: * An activity meter so you can keep an eye on your PPP efficiency. * It has a new menu which lets you switch between saved configurations of OT/TCP, OT/PPP and FreePPP. * Now shows the IP address of your Mac in the popup menu. * Updated for compatibility with FreePPP 2.6 and OT/PPP. * Auto-detects the relevant flavour of PPP, even if it is changed without restarting. * Fixed the bug whereby FreePPP 2.5 with MacTCP would only connect once.
