Gregs Browser

Greg's Browser 2.6.1 (January 10, 2000) by Greg Landweber, coauthor of Kaleidoscope Shareware Fee: $20 Winner of a MacUser Shareware Award for Best Utility, Greg's Browser is a file management utility that lets you quickly and easily navigate your way through the files on your hard disk, giving a compact multi-pane view of your folder hierarchy. Greg's Browser was originally based on the NeXT OS directory browser, and Apple's latest demos show that the Mac OS X Finder will include a multiple folder view similar to the Browser. Version 2.6.1 is a maintenance release, with over a dozen minor improvements and bug fixes. In particular, it fixes an erroneous alert that appears when moving files to the trash and a beep when emptying the trash. It also fixes a crash when launching the browser if StuffIt SpaceSaver is running. On the improvement side, the text anti-aliasing code is completely rewritten, borrowing heavily from SmoothType. Anti-aliased text now looks better, draws faster, and requires less memory. You can also set the font size to anything from 9 to 16 point, since anti-aliased text often looks best at odd font sizes. Finally, when browsing URL clippings, the Browser now displays the URL at the bottom of the window.
