bbDEMUX 1.40rc1 (Mac OS X)
The concept for this app is a great idea but the code appears to be fossilized in SourceForge so development has probably ceased on this. [alert admin]

MFworks 3.0.1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
very good software, now gone forever
This was a very good title, probably the best raster GIS package for the Mac ever. But it is now gone - sold to some other company and this company doesn't reveal who now owns it - and the company is completely out of the software business. [alert admin]

BrickHouse 1.3 (Mac OS X)
From what I've found, BrickHouse is the best GUI application for accessing the built-in firewall ipfw. As such it is good for people who want more features than the simple preference pane, but don't want to work in the CLI. It is now up to 1.3 and has come far, but it still needs work to warrant a full five star recommendation and the requested cost. (I paid anyway.) Some problems that still exist are: 0. The author is unresponsive to emailed queries after two weeks. 1. When creating rules (filters), you cannot simultaneously create a rule to apply to both built-in Ethernet (en0) and wireless Ethernet (en1). The interface forces you to create a rule for one interface, then for the other. If you have a handcrafted custom ruleset that takes time to build, this will double your time. There should be an option in the GUI to apply rules to both (all) interfaces. 2. No matter the order in which you create custom rules, BrickHouse enters them in random order. You can drag and drop them into your preferred order, but this is extremely tedious and time consuming. An option to reorder the rules by port number (a standard method for configuring rules in the CLI) would be a big time saver instead of the current big time waster. 3. Editing rules by hand (either in the CLI or in BBEdit) and then reviewing them in BrickHouse causes the app to crash. 4. No longer works in 10.2. 5. Payment of the shareware fee does not seem to prompt any reply to queries about problems or suggestions for improvement. [alert admin]

PGP 8.1b2 (Mac OS X)
restricted to pgp.com keyserver
This product seems to only contact PGP.com's own public keyservers. It does not allow one to post public keys to any other server; does not allow one to query other public keyservers for someone else's public key; does not allow export of public key to ascii for manual placement on other public keyservers. The online Help files tell how to do the functions, but the application does not have the functions the Help file says it has. These are serious and severe restrictions, as they limit the user to staying totally within the PGP.com universe. I would call this completely a show-stopper for the use of the application.

LANsurveyor 7.1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)
I've used LANsurveyor for at least 6 years. It makes the job of managing many machines on large or multiple networks much easier, as it literally gives a map of the networks and all the machines on those networks. Visualize a map that begins at your router with paths (lines) to your switches and then paths to all your machines. All subnets are numbered, and all the machines are identified. These "all machines" include computers, printers, network devices, and essentially anything on the network. Now imagine that the computers are characterized as well by name, number and services. Imagine that the computers running Retrospect and Timbuktu all report in with even more info, and if they have the Responder (responds to LANsurveyor queries) they report even more info. All your network devices respond too, with SNMP data. It's like a road map and an atlas, but for your network. Whether your network is a Class A (the equivalent of a continent) a Class B (a large country), a Class C (a small country) or even smaller, this gives you a graphic picture of what is there. It has made my job (in networks of all three classes) much easier. Current drawbacks: Version 7.1 doesn't work with 10.3, although the beta version of 8.0 does. I'd like it to integrate with some FIS/GIS package for better management. There is a good manual, but no tutorial. Would be nice to have some integration with NetMinder Ethernet. [alert admin]

VersionTracker does not list a bookmark manager named Butler. Do you have a reference or url?

Additional items that need fixing: In the main interface there are tabs along the top that list the available interfaces (e.g. AirPort, Internal Modem, Built-in Ethernet). In 1.3 apparently there is a bug that causes four tabs for Internal Modem, and these can not be removed. In rules for allow and deny, it would be nice if one rule could suffice for both rather than having to enter the rule twice for each. Also, setting the columns…
