KillTemporaryItems 2.0
According to http://til.info.apple.com/techinfo.nsf/artnum/n25134/ of
3/17/00, Mac OS 9 degrades file system performance by refusing to move
orphaned items in your invisible "Temporary Items" folder to the trash.
The AppleScript "fix" provided in the technote doesn't work straight out
of the box (what else is new?), so here's KillTemporaryItems 2.0. It
moves non-busy items in "Temporary Items" to a folder on your desktop
called "Stuff OS 9 left lying around", then quits. Disposition of the
files recovered is up to you. CodeWarrior Pro 4 source is included,
support is not. Freeware.
Release notes:
18 March 2000 - version 1.0b2, original release
29 December 2000 - version 2.0, fixes a potentially serious lockup
when the move routine encounters cache.lck
