Re: paleonet Software

["N. MacLeod" <N.MacLeod@xxxxxxxxx>]

Another contender on the Mac side is iView Multimedia 
(http://www.scriptsoftware.com/). Its ReadMe blurb sates that it's a 
"media browser that acts as a single point of reference to gather 
collections of images, movies, VR, animation, clip art, audio, 
graphic design, image, font and other files" and that's a pretty fair 
description. The OS9.x version is still available from a variety of 
shareware sites, but I note that scriptsoft has temporarily removed 
iView Multimedia from its current list of products. Most likely they 
are getting ready to release an OSX version.

A shareware equivalent on the Windows (or Dark) side is ThumbsPlus 
(http://www.cerious.com/thumbsplus.shtml).
