Connectix Releases Speed Doubler 8.1

Connectix Releases Speed Doubler 8.1 — Connectix has released Speed Doubler 8.1, an update to the performance-enhancement and utility package that’s compatible with Mac OS 8.1. New features include the ability to leave Speed Doubler running (avoiding delays when it copies files or empties the trash) and the Hot Keys automation feature can mount a remote volume and open disks or folders. The update also features improved file copy performance and compatibility with Macintosh Extended Format volumes (see "All About Macintosh Extended Format" in TidBITS-414). Connectix says international versions of Speed Doubler 8.1 will be available soon, depending in part on Apple’s release of international versions of Mac OS 8.1. The Speed Doubler 8.1 Updater is a 476K download; a separate updater is available for Speed Doubler 8’s version of Speed Copy for network servers. [GD]
