Abstract of INFO-MAC archived encoded Mac binary file 'text/filtertop-11-pb.hqx' Uploaded 01/08/2002 2698031 bytes From: "TopSoft, Inc." Subject: FilterTop 1.1 Public Beta TopSoft, Inc., a NON-PROFIT organization made up of Macintosh developers from all around the world, has been working on a collaborative endeavor called "FilterTop," a new breed of Macintosh utility. FilterTop is an application that allows files to be processed through a series of "filtering" operations. These operations are provided via plug-in modules and are configured by the user via a graphical interface. This is the "promotional" public beta version of FilterTop 1.1, a free product of TopSoft, Inc. This version is fully functional. However, it may not be the latest version. For more information on FilterTop and details on how to obtain the most current version, visit TopSoft's web site at , or email . System Requirements: Any Macintosh computer (except Macintosh 128K, Macintosh 512Ke, Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, Macintosh Portable, PowerBook 100, Macintosh Classic) running System 7.0 or later. The A/UX and Mac OS X "Classic" environments are also supported. FilterTop uses the Thread Manager, which is built-in for System 7.5 and later, but requires a separate installation for older Systems. FilterTop does not require the Appearance Manager (built-in for Mac OS 8.0 and later), nor does it require Navigation Services (built-in for Mac OS 8.5 and later), but will take advantage of these features if available (separate installations are required for older Systems). The accompanying FTWindow Carbon application requires CarbonLib (which requires Mac OS 8.6 or later). Older versions of FTWindow that support older Systems are available separately in the "FilterTop 1.1 PB Extras" package. Debug versions of FilterTop require System 7.5 and later. Disk space required for FilterTop is approximately 2 to 4 MB; available free memory required is 1 MB minimum, 2 MB or more memory is recommended.
