3 Maintenance Scripts 1.0.1
3 Maintenance Scripts - Cron maintenance scripts more>>
I wrote this because in certain cases the unavailable memory isnt freed until either the cron script is run, or a reboot. I used another utility for a while but didnt feel like paying the shareware fee for something that I could do myself in Terminal. I recommend using the weekly script.

- Added startup screen with opt-out and no longer a run- only script.

Engineering Aid 2.0.7
Convert between various engineering units easily more>> Key features:
-Emulates the Apple ][, ][+ and //e
-Supports USB game pad and joystick
-Store a running machine and resume later on
-Full-screen mode
-Epson FX-80 and Imagewriter II emulation
-Many configurable peripheral cards
-Realistic sound effects, including Mockingboard emulation
-Convert original Apple II diskettes
-Index your Apple II disk images
-Debug Apple II programs
Virtual ][ lets you play the old Apple games, because it supports all graphics modes, lets you control the game paddles with a USB game pad or mouse and emulates the internal speaker. When you want to temporarily interrupt gameplay, Virtual ][ allows you to save the entire virtual machine, and continue later on from where you left off.
But Virtual ][ also supports more "serious" software, because it emulates many peripheral devices: floppy disk, hard disk, mouse, serial port, matrix printer, even cassette tape! It also emulates the Z80A processor, allowing you to run the CP/M operating system.
And for the technically inclined: you can configure the machine by "inserting" and "removing" emulated peripheral cards, change the CPU speed, or even install your own emulated character generator ROM. The "Inspector" feature allows you to closely observe the behavior of the emulated machine and debug Apple II programs.
If you have original diskettes and a working Apple II, Virtual ][ can help you convert the diskettes to the Macintosh, even if they are "copy protected".
The program automatically indexes all Apple II disk images on your Mac, so you can find an Apple II file instantly, by entering its name.
You can download an evaluation version and try the program first. If you like the program, you can buy a license and fully enjoy the nostalgic fun of the old Apple ][ computer.
Virtual ][ requires Mac OS X 10.4 or better.
The program comes as a "universal binary", which means it makes optimal use of both PowerPC and Intel Macintoshes.<<less

Were not sure if this is going to be a success but, thats why this is a public beta.
