I thought that the changes looked familiar. When I did a get-info on the C o c ktail I have installed, it says v3.7.2. What's up with that?

[Humorous side note: I had to add spaces to the name of the product, because otherwise the preview of this comment displayed it as "*censored*tail". :-) ]

I've found cõcktail to be very useful on a number of occasions. Whenever I get a new machine or am working on someone else's it's an automatic install along with 'Sloth' and 'Applejack'.

sfeld: I've used *censored*tail (watch out for that crazy censor) for three years, on OS X 10.2, 3 and 4 without a single problem. It has an overall rating of 4.4 out of 5; if that's not high enough for you then that's your business. But a few bad reviews out of over 600 hardly suggest a flawed product. As for removing bad reviews, that would not be ethical. The best that can be done is for people who like the product to rate it highly, as I have done. That said, no one could or should try to force you to use something about which you have qualms.

Among similar products of equal stature, only Onyx is rated slightly higher - 4.5 - most likely because it's free rather than because it performs any better.
