Eliminates disk clutter as well as saving disk space. DupFinder is a Carbon application, so it works with OS 8, 9, & X. -- Maui Software [Archived as /info-mac/disk/dup-finder-121.hqx; 498 K] ------------------------------ Date: 10 Oct 2001 From: ChrisLi@Bridge1.com To: Subject: [*] DupFinder 1.2.1J - Japanese Version This is the Japanese version of the DupFinder package.

Sure, Stickies is free, but FloatingNotes "floats" on top of all other application windows so you can always see them. FloatingNotes uses no system extension, and best of all, FloatingNotes is a Carbon application so it works under OS X as well! -- Maui Software [Archived as /info-mac/app/floating-notes-103.hqx; 272 K] ------------------------------ Date: 10 Oct 2001 From: ChrisLi@Bridge1.com To: Subject: [*] FloatingNotes 1.0.3J - Japanese Version This is the Japanese version of the FloatingNotes package.

Sure, Stickies is free, but FloatingNotes "floats" on top of all other application windows so you can always see them. FloatingNotes uses no system extension, and best of all, FloatingNotes is a Carbon application so it works under OS X as well! FloatingNotes automatically saves all open notes when you quit. To delete a note, simply close the window. FloatingNotes requires OS X, or OS 8 or 9 and CarbonLib 1.3 or later. CarbonLib is free and can be obtained from your "Software Update" control panel. This version fixes a problem with Japanese font display on Mac OS X.

The solution was fairly simple -- just Trash your General Controls preferences file. While you're at it, trash the Finder preferences as well. After rebooting, rebuild these. I can't guarantee this will work for you, but it worked for me, with the same problem and the same version of the Mac OS. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2001 22:06:10 -0500 From: "Gib Henry" To: "Info-Mac List" Subject: OS X: Insufficient privileges to empy trash?! I'm the only user of my Mac, but I cannot empty my trash. I get a dialog that I don't have the privileges. Some items will be deleted, but others remain. How can I get rid of them?!?! Thanks! Cheers, -- -- Gib Henry You were awfully quick to send a bunch of misguided kids to their deaths as Islamic martyrs. If it's so glorious to be a martyr for Islam, then why are you hiding, Osama? ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 09 Oct 2001 17:53:10 -0400 From: Jeffrey Alaimo To: Subject: Outlook Express 5.02 problem... I'm currently running MacOS 8.6 on a PowerMac 6500/225 with 32 Mb of RAM. Until recently, Outlook Express 5.02 has run smoothly with no problems. However, now, when I open the program, in the left side panels, the INBOX is marked with 25 messages, even when it's EMPTY! The same problem also affects the OutBox and the Deleted Items Boxes. To date, I've deleted and rebuilt the Desktop Database, twice. I've deleted the OE preferences files, zapped PRAM, virus-scanned with Virex 6.1 with October's update, all to no avail. The problem is more annoying than an actual problem. Can anyone diagnose my problem and help me? I'm fresh out of ideas. THANKS, Jeffrey Alaimo jalaimo@email.com -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
