What is DiskTools Collection 3.3.x?

The DiskTools Collection is a suite of 5 small applications (known as desk accessories). This is one of (if not the) last version.  It's very polished and made freeware after all these years.  Last version is the 3.3.4 FREE version, dated from 2006, but version 3.x has been around since early 1990's.  This software runs only on Classic Mac OS - System 7 through Mac OS 9.x, including Classic on Mac OS X. The desk accessories consist of:

Phone Pad

Phone Pad is a 1000 page Notepad replacement. Phone Pad contains search, indexing and dialing functions not found in the standard Apple Notepad desk accessory.

History

The DiskTools Collection has a long and varied history as commercial software. It began as BatteryPak , published by Batteries Included in 1985. When Electronic Arts bought Batteries Included, a major revision was completed, and it was published as DiskTools Plus  from Electronic Arts. The product was then sold to Fifth Generation Systems, Inc. and revised again (to version 3.0) and published as part of both the File Director  and MacPak  products. When Symantec bought Fifth Generation Systems, the rights reverted back to Rainmaker Research Inc.
