Extensis Fetch 1.5

MikeTomTom — Fri, 24 Oct 2014 22:12:48 +0000

Application file:

extensis-fetch-15-img.sit

This is multimedia digital database cataloging software Extensis acquired from Adobe, who in turn had acquired it from Aldus. Extensis later renamed Fetch to Portfolio which went on to be one of the main software products from Extensis.

Compatibility:

Fetch and RAM requirements
- For optimal performance of Fetch, please follow these guidelines:
  - Do not use the MacOS Virtual Memory or any other virtual memory scheme (including RAM Doubler) . These programs can cause a performance degradation in Fetch.
  - When working with large images or catalogs containing many items, Fetch's performance will benefit from additional memory being allocated to the application.
Fetch and supporting System Software
- Fetch 1.5 requires System 7.5 or above. In addition, Fetch makes use of the following system software; for optimal functionality, this software must be installed and active.
  - QuickTime 2.5: This is available with the Fetch installer and must be installed for Fetch to work. Fetch was not designed to work with any version of QuickTime below 2.5.
  - Macintosh Easy Open: This allows Fetch to generate thumbnails and previews for a number of file formats. It comes standard with System 7.5 but must be active to take advantage of it.
  - QuickDraw 3D: This is available with the Fetch installer. It allows Fetch to generate thumbnails and previews of QuickDraw 3D models.

[Note]: Despite the included "ReadMe" documentation stating Fetch requires a Mac OS 7.5 or above, I was able to install this onto Basilisk II running System Software version 7.1 - the installer gave an alert that it required SSW 7.1.1 or later (not 7.5) but allowed me to proceed and install anyway. Seems to run OK on that system.

OpenOffice 3 for Mac (PPC)

When the open sourced office suite OpenOffice went from version 2.x (X11 based) to version 3.x (native Aqua) for Macintosh, all PPC Mac support was officially dropped from OpenOffice.org's web site and only Intel Macintosh versions were made available to the general public. - No 3.x PPC vers. were officially sanctioned or made publicly available from the OpenOffice.org web site.

Compatibility:

PPC OS X native, requires Mac OS X 10.4 and later

Runs well under Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger), untested by me on any later PPC Mac OS, I assume that it will run OK on 10.5.x too.

Older & new Intel native versions of OpenOffice are available from the Apache OpenOffice web pages.

Notebook Maker

WhosIt.There — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 06:48:23 +0000

Application file:

NoteBook_Maker_img.sit

NoteBook Maker is a shareware application to create standalone Notebook applications which are easy to browse and search. Notebooks can contain text and images, and are sort of like a index-card filing system or database. Notebooks are first created from an existing text file, but new topics / cards / pages can be added within the NoteBook Maker application.

The sample text file that comes with the application creates a Notebook of Easter Eggs for System 7, early Macs, and applications.

The application is on a Disk Copy 4 disk image (1.4MB) in a StuffIt 3.5 archive.

(v1.3)

Compatibility:

Notes:

Both the Notebook Maker application and the standalone notebook applications it creates are 68K only.
The Notebook Maker application itself does work under System 6, but the standalone Notebook applications it creates do not (or at least they crash Mini vMac).

Microsoft File 2.0a

dwheeless — Mon, 27 Jan 2014 03:13:22 +0000

Application file:

msfile20a.zip

Here is another rarity that is known as Microsoft File 2.0a. I was fortunate to locate this in a really old floppy disk library from decades ago and miraculously the disk was still good. MS File was not very popular due its unusual interface and the fact that it was eclipsed by the enormously popular FileMaker, however some of the Mac purists out there would likely want to add this gem to their Mac Plus software collection.
