DESCRIPTION
Cunning Fox is an application for controlling your Macintosh and understanding what your computer is doing. it shows the running applications of your Mac with their CPU and memory usage. Thanks Cunning Fox you will be able to see which Applications are wasting more resources therefore understand how you can improve your productivity with your Mac.

Furthermore not only does Cunning Fox let you view the running Applications of your Mac but it also let you control them. You can STOP and CONTINUE Applications. For instance when you are using Virtual PC you want all the power of your CPU to focus on Virtual PC... of course you can quit all the running Apps in order to minimize the CPU usage in other tasks... but this is not a praticable solution. Much better is to stop all the Applications except Virtual PC. Then you will have all the power of your processor available for Virtual PC only.

    ****.

    ELEGRAPHY  Cunning Fox use to be great and neat program on my PPC Tiger PowerBook Ti. However after I upgraded to Leopard, it's no longer working properly. Every open program shows 4095MB on their memory bar, although the main Memory indicator shows the total memory in correct numbers.

    I went to developer's site for more information on this. The Cunning Fox page still online, but seems like he drop the program from his store. Does this means he's no longer support this program anymore? I really hope he can make it compatible with Leopard.  (Version 1.0.5)

    *....

    RPITCAIRN  Tried it out on my iMac G5. Not good. Some programs just froze and could not be activated again. Had to quit them, or force quit, to get them going again.

    Time consuming and awkward. If it worked as said might be useful but was problems from first try.  (Version 1.0.5)

    GRYPHONENT  Written to the developer repeatedly... no reply. No support. Will go for App Stop instead... at least it is in active development, which cannot be said about Cunning Fox (still no universal binary available!).  (Version 1.0.5)
