This is Release 1.00 of BITart's GTools. GTools is a 'shell' application
for modules called GTools (you wouldn't have guessed, would you?). It's main purpose is to make all the little helpers in the daily life of a NEXTSTEP
user easily accessible from the dock, without wasting several dock slots or
memory. The following GTools are available:

- DefaultEditor.GTool
	This is a user friendly front-end for the NEXTSTEP default system.
	It helps you explore and modify defaults.
	
- Eyes.GTool
	'Eyes' are a simple GTool which displays 'Eyes' in the applications
	icon. Those eyes follow your mouse, and help you find it. It also
	shows you when there is new mail for you.
	
- HexEditor.GTool
	With the HexEditor GTool you can view and modify any file in a
	combined Hex/ASCII view, and modify its contents.
	
- MonsterShelf.GTool
	This is the 'MonsterShelf' application from Brian Pinkerton,
	converted into a GTool, with a few minor enhancements.
	
- GKPlayer.GTool
	GKPlayer enables you to play audio CDs on your Toshiba CD-ROM. You
	can also mark sequences on the CD and save them to a .snd file.
	The supported formats are 44 kHz, 22 KHz, Stereo or Mono.
	
- SCSIMonitor.GTool
	The SCSIMonitor GTool is a graphic front-end to a scsi device
	driver. It has great value in testing commands on peripherals 
	prior to programing, and has lots of other usefull
	purposes. Since this GTool requires a close understanding of 
	SCSI and the addressed devices, and could easily damage hard disks,
	data or other peripherals, this GTool will NOT be publicly
	available on the archives. If you are interested, please send
	a request by EMail.
	
If you are interested in writing your own GTool, or converting an already
working application into a GTool, request the GTool API by EMail.
