Sleeping Cat Software: Products

Our Products

For Mac.

Our software runs on Macintosh computers.

When a new version of one of our products is available, a news update will be posted on our home page. You may want to check there periodically. How do I know if I have the latest version?

Before you download...

Please read the following, then scroll down to find product download links.

Each package will download to your Mac as a BinHexed Stuffit archive. Stuffit is a file compression program from Aladdin Systems, and there is a free expander program, called Stuffit Expander, which you can download from Aladdin's site. Please note that Stuffit Expander may be pre-installed on your system; for example, some Web browser packages include it. If you'd like to know more about BinHex or Stuffit, this Mac Observer article may help.

Documentation is supplied in PDF format, which is read by Adobe's free Acrobat Reader. Recent Macs include Acrobat Reader, and some commercial products install it as well. If you do not have Acrobat Reader on your Mac, you can download it from Adobe.

Note to users of Microsoft Internet Explorer: When Internet Explorer is downloading a file, it tracks progress in a separate window. This window may be behind your browser window, and so you may not realize that the download is happening. To see the download status, check Internet Explorer's Window menu for an item called "Download Manager" and choose that item. This will bring the download window to the front.

Freeware

Check Mail During the Day v1.1.2
This is an AppleScript that will periodically tell Eudora to check mail during user-definable hours. It's useful when you want to periodically check mail, but still have an energy saver disk spindown activate, perhaps after work hours.

Q&D Process Hider v1.0.1
This is a "quick and dirty" AppleScript that will hide processes other than the Finder. It was inspired by the iMac, used with a UMAX 1220U scanner. The 1220U includes an application to power-down the scanning lamp, and that program's window obscures the trashcan! It doesn't remember the state or position of the window across restarts, so this script rides to the rescue! This script should be used at startup.

Paths to Clipboard v1.1.1
This is an AppleScript droplet that stores the path of files or folders dropped on it to the clipboard.
View the documentation (PDF).

OT/PPP Disconnect v1.2.2
This is an AppleScript that will close an Open Transport PPP connection, optionally first quitting a user-definable list of Internet applications. v1.2 improves performance under MacOS 8.5.

DeskPictRotater
v1.5.5 (8.0/8.1), v1.5.5 (8.5 and newer)
This is an AppleScript that will periodically change your desktop picture during a session. You can configure it to only run during certain hours, and include or exclude weekends. Compatible with MacOS 8.x and 9.0 (please read the documentation).

ShowAliasInfo v1.1.1
This is an AppleScript that will open the Finder's Get Info window of each file that is dropped onto it. If an alias is dropped, the Info window of the original file is opened. This script is perhaps most useful for quickly adjusting the memory partition of an application. Under MacOS 8.5 and newer, the memory panel (if available) of the Get Info window will be opened.
