There are tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of desk accessories (I'll call them DAs from now on), and pretty much all of them would be for System 6 or earlier. (With the Multifinder being integrated into System 7, there was no longer a reason to develop DAs.) As an example: Spectrum Holobyte's Tetris included a small version of the game as a DA, so you could take a break from your work without disrupting your work. Old versions of Endnote Plus (bibliographic software) included a DA so that you could access it from within your word processor. Suitcase (a font and DA manager) was a DA too. Of course, some publishers had to out do others by including several DAs in one box. That was the case with File Director, which included (if I recall correctly) a file manager, calculator, calendar, and phonebook DA. If you go to an older Mac software archive, you'll typically find a directory full of DAs. An example: ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/mac/da/ Have fun with DAs. And remember, they're not small applications. They are device drivers! (Without a device to drive.)
