Version Master

Version Master is a client application which shows which software on a Macintosh is out-of-date and where on the internet users may find updates, patches, and upgrades. Version Master compiles a list of all of the software on a Mac. Users download the current version numbers and update locations from the Version Master server. The Version Master server currently tracks over 60,000 software titles from 50 countries. Version Master keeps track of 680xx, PowerPC and FAT versions of software. It also tracks beta versions of software independently from release versions of the same software. Software is also categorized by "country code" so localized versions may be tracked. As an added bonus, users may indicate that they would like to receive e-mail notification whenever a newer version of some specific software becomes available. The e-mail feature requires payment of the annual subscription fee. Version Master 2.0 includes eight languages selected from a menu: Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, Japanese, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish. Version Master requires System 7 or greater, 2M RAM, 3M Hard Disk Space.
