Menu Grabber

Menu Grabber 1.3.1 ftp://sumex-aim.stanford.edu/info-mac/gui/menu-grabber-131.hqx A fascinating illustration of the power of Menu Events, Menu Grabber lets you pick an application from any Macintosh on the network, and presents an identical copy of its menu bar on your screen (but in bright red and white-on-black, just so you realize what you might be getting into). While grabbing an application, you can pull down a menu or use a keyboard equivalent to simulate the same action on the target application. This application can be useful in network management, and to people like me who sometimes forget to close a needed document before leaving the office. Version 1.3 adds a handy Refresh button, and makes it easier to deal with applications whose menus are sensitive to modifier keys. Version 1.3.1 adds compatibility with Mac OS 8.0. This program is part of the AWOL Utilities 1.4 package, which includes the following programs: Virtual Desktop 1.9.1, Maybe 1.5.2, Help on Wheels 1.3 (and HoW Developer's Kit 1.3), PictPocket 1.3.2, Menu Events 1.3.1, Menu Grabber 1.3.1, Trash Bag 1.2.2. All of them are free, and Copyright (c) 1994-7 Ross Brown.
