"FilterTop is a multipurpose file-processing utility program that
provides Macintosh users with the facilities of batch processing and
pipelining, formerly available only to users of operating systems with
a command-line interface, like Unix. These advantages allow Mac users
to process from one to thousands of files?of any type?at one time,
performing numerous different operations on these files in quick
succession, all within the context of the friendly graphical user
interface Macintosh users expect and deserve.

FilterTop comes with a set of more than fifty ?filters,? program
modules that may be arranged in virtually limitless permutations and
combinations by dragging their icons between windows with the mouse.
Similarly, batches of files may be sent for processing to a saved
group of filters, called a SuperFilter, with a simple drag-and-drop
operation.

To give just a few examples of what FilterTop can do, in a given
filtering operation the names of files may be changed, the contents of
the files altered, rearranged, or combined, specific characters or
entire words or phrases searched for and replaced, information
extracted or added. Sets of files of different kinds may be sent to
separate folders and even their types changed by changing their
internal file-type and ?creator? codes. Lists may be alphabetized and
have line numbers added. MS-DOS or Unix file formats may be changed to
Macintosh format and vice versa. Any combination of these and many
other operations may be performed simultaneously with a click of the
mouse. The results may be timed, sent to a special monitor window,
saved as new files, summarized in a report, placed on the
Clipboard?all as the user desires."

DL#1 FilterTop v1.0
DL#2 add'l plugin: Type Fixer FT ... fixes a file?s type and creator
information based on its extension ... a file downloaded from a UNIX
system might have the name ?sample.txt? but a generic icon. Type Fixer
FT would notice that the file name ended in ?.txt? and fix the icon.
Type Fixer FT uses Internet Config ... to determine the correct type
and creator for a file ... requires Internet Config version 1.2 or
later to work.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k

"FilterTop takes full advantage of the advanced features of System 7.5
(though it will run perfectly well on any Mac with System 7.0 or
later). Saved SuperFilters called ?Toplets? communicate with FilterTop
by means of Apple Events to provide information about the files that
have been dragged to the Toplet?s icon in the Finder."
