Step 1 The first one here‘s the FKEYManager. http://members.aol.com/billKarsh/MacProdPages/FKEYManager.html This‘s something you‘ll use to install another of these apps. The download include a real good text of FKEYS. What those are, how FKEYS work etc. A good reading. The actual installation of it is basic and simple, and there‘s no need to read the manual if you prefer not to. Here I only use it to make a Suitcase of an FKEY that‘s not one in the start. So do the installation boogie with FKEYManager. If I remember right, it‘ll work without restart. Step 2 http://www.dejal.com/classic/ I‘ve mentioned this software author in an earlier post of mine. The great QuickEncrypter‘s his too. Download Dejal Desktop Utilities. It includes several apps, but this time I‘m interested only of an FKEY called Privacy. It makes a screen go black instantly, no delay. Great when writing something private and a friend comes to say hi. Just hit cmd+shift+0 (the 0 by the letter keys). You can customize which keys to use, if you want to. Afterwards just move the mouse and the screen‘s on again. After downloading Desktop Utilities, start the FKEYManager and click file-duplicate file as suitcase. Then drag the newborn suitcase to System Folder-Font Folder. Restart the mac. Now it works! Step 3 Next stop http://www.tempel.org/mac/ There‘s loads of great stuff, but download just two for now. The installations of these are easy, and do not include any new things to learn, unlike the Suitcase thing. There‘s plenty of info available in the site, but here‘s the basics copypasted from Thomas: A. Joliet Volume Access. (There are 3 versions available: Free, share & beta. I‘m using the freeware.) Basically, this System Extension enhances the way your Macintosh computer can read CD-ROMs from other platforms, mainly Windows. Until now, if you inserted a Windows CD-ROM in your Mac, file names appeared to be crippled (in the so-called 8.3 format) or files may have been inaccessible. This Joliet extension is designed to solve these problems. Especially, if you have CD-ROMs with the following contents you'll likely benefit from this enhancement: MP3 songs Files in PDF format with cross-references or indexes Java class and/or source files Web content with hyperlinks, such as HTML files. DirectCD CD-Rs created and closed under Windows Picture CDs created by some Sony digital camera AKAI sound sampler CDs B. Adaptec's free UDF Volume Access, (Thomas Tempelmann wrote this for Adaptec, but it‘s no longer available from there, being old and so.) This is a little extension for your System Folder (more precisely, a File System extension) to enable Macs with System 7.5.5 up to Mac OS 9.2.2 to read CDs formatted in UDF (on Windows: "CDUDF") format. Apple provides its own UDF extension, but that is limited to certain flavours, while Adaptec's extension supports more of these flavours (it supports the specs 1.02 and 1.5, but not the newer version 2 specs). So, if you frequently use burnt CDs make on PCs (Windows), installing this extension might make it easier to access a few of those CDs. |
