From the [publisher's][1] website:
> The popular system software for the resurgent Macintosh platform is
> Mac OS 9, which includes over 50 new features. Among them are a
> searching program that finds not just files, but even web pages and
> words inside files; a multiple-users feature that stores a separate
> desktop for each user; and one-click file encryption. Despite its
> long list of enhancements, however, Apple ships Mac OS 9 without one
> of the most important features of all: a manual. Pogue
> Press/O'Reilly comes to the rescue with Mac OS 9: The Missing
> Manual. Award-winning author David Pogue brings his humor and
> expertise to Mac OS 9 for the first time in this lucid, impeccably
> written guide. The book includes:
>
> ? Getting started. The book's early chapters cover using menus,
> finding lost files, reducing window clutter, and interior-decorating
> the screen.
> ? Figuring out what's what. A complete guide, Mac OS 9: The Missing
> Manual explains the purpose of every single software crumb in the
> System Folder, the A menu, and even the Apple Extras folder.
> ? Mastering networks. Learn how to connect Macs together--and even
> dial in to your home Mac from the road.
> ? Surviving the hordes. The new Multiple Users feature protects the
> Mac from mischievous (or clueless) kids or coworkers.
> ? Flying the Net. If Apple calls Mac OS 9 "your Internet copilot,"
> then this book is the flight manual. It covers Sherlock 2, which
> searches the Internet; Mac OS 9's self-updating software feature;
> and Personal Web Sharing.
>
> Consultants and home-office workers will enjoy the book's step-by-
> step guides to setting up small networks. Teachers and
> administrators will get great mileage from the tutorials on using
> Mac OS 9's new Multiple Users control panel. And almost everyone
> will benefit from the book's coverage of Mac OS 9's speech-
> recognition, color printing, digital video, and self-updating
> software features. Along the way, Pogue communicates the joy of
> using the little shortcuts, drag-and-drop surprises, and elegant
> design touches that make the Mac the most passionately championed
> computer in the world. Above all, Mac OS 9:The Missing Manual offers
> warm, witty, jargon-free writing, with enough patience for the
> novice and enough depth for the power user. The book bursts with the
> shortcuts, surprises, and design touches that make the Mac the most
> passionately championed computer in the world.

Notes
I have not uploaded the book for those to read, this merely contains
the software that can be found online that is paired with this book.
Also, I am not entirely sure if this book is still being sold by the
publisher, I have included a link (under the Purchase section) to the
publisher's entry on the book as a reference. Having said that, this
book can be found easily and very cheaply on sites like [Amazon][15]
and [eBay][16].
Sherlock 2 Window Fixer 1.01 will only work on Mac OS 9.0 up to 9.0.4
only, and no higher/lower than that! I am aware of a newer version
that will work on Mac OS 9.1 up to 9.2.2, but that seems nowhere to be
found currently.
Regarding the Author field, I put in who wrote the book. David Pogue
did not write any of these programs (as far as I know), various other
authors of each respective program did.
If newer versions of these programs are found, please let me know, and
I will update this package accordingly!
