Keychain AutoUnlock 1.2
Keychain AutoUnlock - Tool to automatically unlock the OS 9 Keychain more>>
Its quite handy for those of us who love the keychain, but hate the fact that every time we restart or boot-up, we must unlock it first before it can be used.
Enhancements:
- Keychain installed and activeAdded the deluxe "how to" instructions below in the "How Do I Use It?" section.
- Added a new feature to "always prompt" on startup. Yes, this sort of defeats the purpose of having it auto-unlock, but it is useful for certain software configurations, where the keychain screws up by trying to open certain servers before other software is setup correctly on startup. Most people will not want this feature, and they should just leave it off.

XMLerrorFinder 1.0
XMLerrorFinder - finds and repairs errors in an XML file more>>
These characters cause the XML tools in RB 5.5 to throw the exception when trying to parse the file.
Interestingly enough on the Mac, you can inadvertently enter these lower ascii characters by holding Control and typing a letter in a standard RB editfield.
Therefore it is possible for a user to accidentally hit Control-(Letter) instead of Shift -(Letter) and thereby insert a bad character into the editfield which will then get saved into the XML file. So the next time the file is read it will not be able to parse the file.
This very problem cause me some headaches in some of my apps, until I was finally able to track down the culprit.
This RB code also includes an example to demonstrate which Ascii values will cause an XML exception under different text encodings.
Think Ahead X 0.9.5
Think Ahead X - A logic puzzle/strategy game for two players (or one player against the computer) more>>
Think Ahead X is an attempt to bring his great and addictive game to Mac OS X users.

- Added some "full keyboard access" to make playing with the keyboard easier (there are still a few strange bugs though)
- The Mystery Box can now be turned off
- Scramble function is in
- Insanely many under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes (I should thank David Remahl for many suggestions, and then for invaluable help while I was trying to make the suggestions work =P ).

Messages to Disk 2.0
Messages to Disk - Save of messages to disk as text files more>>
The script offers choice of kind of text file.
Enhancements:
- Always prompts for location of folder for storing messages.
- Allows choice of text file types: BBEdit, Tex-Edit Plus, Simple Text. You can add other program names and creator codes to the lists where "creatorNames" and "creatorTypes" are defined.
- Gives progress report after storing each message, with option to turn off. Beeps twice when all files have been stored.
- Fixed bugs in routine for making file name when first choice is already in use. Would fail if name was exactly 31 characters; got stuck in repeat sometimes trying to find valid name.
- Added code to re-wrap (remove hard line endings from) the message text. If you dont want to do this, change the property "rewrapping" to false. This allows your text editor to soft wrap the text to your window size.
- Rather than including entire source with miscellaneous headers, I select the recipients, from address, subject, sent date, and the body of the message. This makes for a "cleaner" text file with less extraneous stuff at the top.
