My suggestions for this list: ClarisWorks 2.1
Incredible software. Runs on *any* Mac (even System 6). Uses 950KB of memory and provides very nice word processing with a really good spell checker, drawing, painting, spreadsheet and database. All the parts are completely integrated: you can mix drawings, text, paint, spreadsheets and database content at will. Remarkably fast and stable. (No longer available except maybe at auction, etc.) BBEdit Light 4 Free, excellent plain-text editor. Handles multiple find/replace, even across multiple files, with support for regular expressions. Supports drag-and-drop editing and automatic UNIX/DOS/Mac line endings. Runs on Sys 7. (I couldn't find version 4 on their website (www.barebones.com), but they have version 6.1 available which claims to need PPC/Sys7.5.5, which makes it pretty useless IMHO) Niftytelnet-SSH My gateway to the world - an absolutely indispensable tool for anyone who has access to one or more UNIX servers. The best SSH client for Mac, hands down. Supports SCP, RSA and Kerberos, and it's free.
