Resolved Finder alternative

[jbarley]

I'd like to check out this Finder replacement "WorkStrip", but the copy available at MacUpdate keeps insisting my computers date is wrong, (when in fact it is correct) and then proceeds to shut down.
Anyone know where there is a working copy of this long since dead software?

No idea, but I can confirm your experience. Behaves similar on iMac G5 with 10.5.8.

macupdate has not been very useful in my experience.

How about switching computers date back to 2004 for installing?

Just tried your idea and while it did get it installed and working, as soon as the computer date is corrected WorkStrip detects an incorrect date and fails.
Plus it only runs as an expired "trial" version with most features disabled and no possibility of getting it licensed.
Time to give up.

Do you need the PPC or the intel Version?

I was hoping to check it out on my PPC dual MDD G4

Doe these versions work?

Even seeing all of the people in the PPC and Collectors group, I can't believe there is anybody using OS X 10.2 that specifically requires running a version earlier than OS X 10.2.4. :L
