I agree with David Fry that for one reason or another, comp.binaries.mac has had (almost) nothing but junk. The recent postings seem to be either highly-system specific (MPW tools), or not serious (Humpback), or trivial little tools to change creator types, for people who HAPPEN to have Word Processor X and HAPPEN to encounter problem Y frequently. Or the software is for people who mainly have 4Mb or 5Mb of memory to burn (SSSwitcher). Don Gillies, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Illinois 1304 W.
