A simple font manager, this application allows you to add or remove groups of fonts from those available for use.

This version uses path variables in Font$Path, in an attempt to avoid the 'Buffer Overflow' problems some people report. I would be interested to hear whether it does cure - or reduce - the problem.

If you want to use !WhichFont, you need to arrange your collection of fonts into sensibly named directories.
This is quite easy to do yourself, but if you want a really quick and easy way to do it, download this program.
Just name your new directory, drag the icon to where you want it and a new font directory, with sprites matching your name, will be created ready for you to move your fonts.

This helps you calculate how to do lots of programmy things and look at and save the current WIMP sprites. (The strong man helps WIMP.)

This is a desktop utility to let you gzip and gunzip files easily. It uses the standard executable but I don't like using the command line so I wrote this front end. The advantage of this desktop version is that you can easily specify where you want the output to go.

A SA-compatible version of the executable, by Peter Burwood, is included, which also works on earlier machines.
