PREFSOVERLOAD 3.5.1 FOR MACOS AND MACOS X RELEASED. Gela, Italy -- I released PrefsOverload 3.5.1, a maintenance upgrade to my preferences management tool. This upgrade fixes some bugs and adds some interface improvements. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION PrefsOverload is a full-featured tool for managing the Preferences Folder, which contains your various "Preference Files". Preference Files are those files in which applications store their settings and other information. After System 7, all these files have been enclosed in the "Preferences Folder". Preferences are important files, but sometimes they can turn out to be completely unnecessary. This can occur, for example, when their mother application doesn't exist--or no longer exists--on your computer. Over time the Preferences Folder will slowly grow and may become filled with files created by trashed demo applications, or applications used for a short time only or not used at all. The trouble is that all these unused or unusable files still...
