Our club librarian prepared the following list.
Some may find the list valuable,

     Double Click Software's "Program of the Week Collection"
     ********************************************************

I have gone through our Library collection of Double Click's freeware
"Programs of the Week". We have 39. The program names and a brief
description have been clipped from the DOC files and appended below.

Please let me know if I have missed any of these valuable utilities.

                              ~~~

DC Bit Set v1.0

DC Bit Set correctly handles the setting of the file ARCHIVE bit for
both file creations and modifications under TOS 1.0 (original) and 1.2
(Mega) ONLY.


DC Boot It v1.0

DC Boot It allows you to run a 'BOOT DISK' from the desktop.  Simply run
DC Boot It, pop in a 'BOOT DISK' (like a game disk) and BOOT IT!
This has the real advantage for accelerated computers, since you can set
the machine speed before booting.  You can also go to 50 Hz mode before
booting the floppy disk.


DC DirDump v1.0

DC DirDump will alphabetize and dump the listing of the current
directory to either the screen, disk or printer.


DC DMA Sound Player v1.0

Play back "digitised" sounds on the Atari STe or TT computers through
the DMA sound circuitry.  (ie. ST Replay sound files)


DC Drop DTR v1.0

Ever need to hangup your modem quickly?  Well, DC Drop DTR will do just
that.


DC DISK INFO v1.0

DC Disk Info is used to give you a quick 'snapshot' of any disk.  You
will get visual representation of the file allocation on your disk, plus
certain statistics about the disk.


DC FLIGHT v1.0      (aka DC F-Light)    (aka DC Floppy Light)

DC FLIGHT installs a routine into the read/write vector (RWABS) of
storage devices- floppy disks, hard drives, ramdisks, etc.  Each time
such a device (all with the exception of the floppy) is accessed, the
floppy drive A light will come on until the operation is finished.


DC Floppy Configurator v1.0

DC Floppy Configurator easily allows you to logically add or remove the
floppy disk drives from your system, as well as set the step rate for
the drive.


DC Hang Up v1.0


DC Hang Up will disconnect your modem (by dropping the DTR) after a user
defined time of modem inactivity.  So, if you leave your computer to do
a long download and for some reason it hangs, you can set DC Hang Up to
hang up the phone line after a defined number of minutes have passed
with no data transfer.


DC Invert v1.0

DC Invert will flash the screen whenever a BELL character (ASCII 7) is
printed.  This way, if you have the stereo up, are listening to
headphones, or just plain have the sound turned off, you can tell when
an alert bell is sounded.


DC Lefty Arrow v1.0

DC Lefty Arrow is a supplement to our DC Lefty program.  DC Lefty Arrow
will turn your normal mouse arrow (which points left) to an arrow which
points right (for left-handed users).  :-)


DC Light OFF v1.0

Are you getting tired of booting up without a floppy disk and having the
drive light stay on and the motor spin away? Here's the solution to all
your worries: DC Light OFF deselects the floppy drive. This program is
also useful for those times when the floppy drive is left "dirty" after
running an application.


DC MAX TRACK v1.0 

Have you ever wondered how many tracks your floppy disk drive can
format? Wonder no more, DC MAX TRACK will tell you how many tracks your
floppy disk drive can handle.


DC Mouse-ometer v1.0

This program lets you find out how far your mouse cursor has travelled
during a session.  The supplied CPX gives a readout in inches
representing a mouse tripodometer.


DC Mouser v1.0

DC Mouser will turn your mouse cursor on or off with the press of a key.


DC Mouse Saver v1.0

This program is sort of a third generation derivative of an earlier
program, namely DC Homey. DC Mouse Saver will turn the mouse off after a
defined time of no mouse activity, and turn the mouse back on with any
mouse activity.


DC MOUSE SHIFT v1.0

DC MOUSE SHIFT emulates any of the modifier keys (SHIFTs, CONTROL and/or
ALTERNATE) by pressing the RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON.


DC Mouse Stick v1.0

DC Mouse Stick allows you to use a joystick to emulate a mouse on the
ST, STe or TT computer.  You can plug the joystick into port 0 (normal
mouse port) or port 1 (joystick port).


DC No Alert v1.0

DC No Alert will keep an alert box from being displayed and will 'fake'
the return of the DEFAULT button.  So, in an alert that says, "Really
Quit?" with the YES button being the default, you'd hear a little 'bing'
and that's it.  The YES button will be returned as the button selected.


DC No-Stic (No Stiction) v1.0

DC No-Stic is designed to prevent hard disk stiction.  Stiction is when
your hard disk head sticks in one place.  (big trouble) Seagate drives
suffered from this phenomenon.  DC No-Stic will move the hard disk heads
around after 5 minutes of hard disk inactivity.


DC PopBar v1.0      (There is a v1.2 that is shareware.)

DC PopBar gives the GEM desktop a 'popup' menu of the menubar entries. 
Now all menu entries are available in a popup menu wherever the mouse
is.


DC RightCall v1.0

DC RightCall will call up either the file selector (we use UIS 3.3) or
MaxiFile? when you press the right mouse button, with or without the
<CONTROL> key pressed.  This gives you quick easy file manipulation.


DC Run Rez v1.0

DC Run Rez will automagically switch to the selected rez before running
the target program and then if the program has an exit [yes, some
actually do ;) ] it restores the color palette and screen resolution
before exiting.


DC R-T Mag (DC Real-time Magnifier) v1.0

DC R-T Mag (Real-time magnifier) will magnify the screen around the
mouse.  Move the mouse and the magnified portion of the screen moves in
real-time! This is great for paint programs or where you need precise
detail!


DC Salvage v1.0

Ever have a file that you can't copy because of a bad sector in the
middle of the file?  What to do, what to do? DC Salvage will read a file
in one sector at a time until all that can be read in is read in.  Then
the file will be copied to a destination of your choosing.


DC Topper v1.2

DC Topper will automatically select the window under the mouse (bring it
to the top) when you are at the GEM desktop.


DC ASCII Dump v1.0

DC ASCII Dump prints the text seen on the screen to either a printer or
a file while in either TOS or GEM mode.


DC CRC v1.0 (1/25/91)

DC CRC will compute and record the CRC (ARC type) for any file.


DC Form Feed v1.0

DC Form Feed will send a FORM FEED (ASCII 12) to your printer when you
press the correct keys together.


DC F-Keys v1.0

DC F-Keys allows you to assign a text macro to a function key, or
combination of a function key and one (1) modifier key (SHIFT, CONTROL
or ALTERNATE).


DC GTP (GEM Takes Parameters) v1.0

How would you pass a parameter to a GEM program?  If you have the
NewDesk in the MegaSTE or TT, then you can use the new program extension
type: GTP (GEM takes parameters).  If you use the old normal GEM
desktop, your only option is to install a document type for that
application.  This works well for one document type, but what happens
when you have multiple document types for that application.  Well then,
you are out of luck...  Until now!


DC Backspace Help v1.0

DC Backspace Help will print a <BACKSPACE> character instead of <HELP>
when you press the <HELP key.  Or, press <CONTROL>+<HELP> to get a
regular <HELP> key press.


DC Homey v1.0

DC Homey will position the mouse cursor in the middle of the screen when
you press the <ALTERNATE>+<CONTROL>+<LEFT SHIFT>+<H> keys. Now, you can
find your mouse instantly.


DC Joystick Character v1.0 

DC Joystick Character allows you to assign a character to a direction of
a joystick.  When you press the joystick trigger, it simulates entering
the character throught the keyboard.

DC LEFTY 1.0

DC LEFTY is for the left-handed Atari users. DC LEFTY swaps the LEFT and
RIGHT mouse buttons.  So now when you press on the right mouse button,
it thinks it is a left mouse button, and vice-versa.  Someone with a
broken mouse with no working left button might use DC LEFTY.


DC MWRAP (Mouse Wrapper) v1.0

DC Mouse Wrapper will 'wrap' the mouse pointer from one screen edge to
the other.  So now, go off the left edge of the screen, and the mouse
shows up on the right side!


DC Reserve v1.2

DC Reserve will reserve a predefined amount of memory when you execute a
program.  For instance, if you run FLASH! it normally uses all available
memory for a capture buffer.  With DC Reserve installed and set to
reserve 100K, when you execute FLASH! you will have 100K free RAM in the
program for use for other things (like Data Diet and DC Shower).


DC Right DC (DC Right Double Click) v1.0

DC Right DC lets you click once with the right mouse button, and have
that act as a left mouse button double click.


DC Disk Stat v1.0

DC Disk Stat will give you important information about a disk of your
choice.
