YAV Software: Legacy Programs for Pre-OSX

Thumbnail image of YAV.YAV.com (YAV's legacy software for pre-OSX Macintoshes)
YAV.com used to develop a good deal of Macintosh software. Unfortunately, because of projects like FictionFixer and InterestingWriting, we haven't updated many of our commercial programs: Email Magician, MetaTag Manager, CyberMozart, PushBtnBach, Spike, and others. Nonetheless, you can still run most of these in Classic mode, and, if you happen to still be running a Pre-OSX Macintosh, you will find this to be a valuable resource. We have moved the shareware area to YAV.yav.com (notice the degree of separation indicated by the double-YAV). Click the thumbnail for YAV.yav.com.
