Choosier 1.01b2?
Posted by: Tarantulas on 2024-05-06 06:19:55 Does anyone happen to have a copy of Choosier version 1.01b2 archived off somewhere? Choosier is a Chooser replacement that makes it easier to navigate networks with multiple zones (like a GlobalTalk network). Read more about it here: Choosier

Posted by: NJRoadfan on 2024-05-06 14:29:10 I wish there was a mirror of terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu. Besides Choosier and the source code, there were apparently a few Mac client applications related to netatalk that were developed that seem to be lost to time now.
Posted by: finkmac on 2024-05-06 15:07:36 yeah i found partial mirrors of terminator but nothing complete. perhaps digging through old mac usergroup discs and the like might be more fruitful.

Posted by: Realitystorm on 2024-05-06 19:17:00 Only thing I found was Version 1 on a Software of the Month Club August 1995 CD-ROM. The only other thing I can think to do would be to see if Mark C Smith is on LinkedIn. I just sent a note to a Mark Smith who went to U of M from 1990 to 1996 and did software development for Netscape and Aol to see if he is the same Mark C Smith. I'll see if any others are the right age and the right education for a match.

Posted by: NJRoadfan on 2024-05-07 14:02:06 Hopefully he has some of the other tools released by UMich stored away somewhere. There was apparently a Chooser extension that integrated with netatalk's printer server to view and delete print jobs in the queue, and an INIT to query printers for specific features see: https://websites.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/archive/admins/1995/0007.html

Posted by: ArmorAlley on 2024-08-01 00:42:03 As a suggestion to keep you busy, try the CD-ROMs that came mounted on magazines from this period: MacAddict, MacFormat and so on. I do have Choosier somewhere in my stash. If I can find it and if it is later than version 1.0, I'll let you know.

Likewise, that is the version on the MacFormat CD.
