Option-Tab Program Switcher is a system extension that enables
toggling between open applications on a classic Macintosh via keyboard
command (Option+Tab).

Very similar in operation to [LiteSwitch][1] but with an added
advantage of being able to run on SSW 7.0 and later and on 68000
Macintoshes such as the Mac Plus, SE, and Mini vMac, etc...

OTPS requires SSW 7.0 or greater.

To install it, just drag the extension to your system folder icon and
"drop." then restart the Mac to activate OTPS.

To use, while holding down the Option key, tap the Tab key. A window
will appear displaying the next program running. While still holding
the Option key, tapping the Tab key again shows the program after
that. While the program you want to switch to is selected, let go of
the Option key and the program will be brought to the front.

Note - Only tried with Mini vMac and Mini vMac II, here. I assume tho'
it will work on other emulators OK.
