TopSoft, Inc., a NON-PROFIT organization made up of Macintosh developers
from all around the world, has been working on a collaborative endeavor
called "FilterTop," a new breed of Macintosh utility.

FilterTop is an application that allows files to be processed through a
series of "filtering" operations. These operations are provided via
plug-in modules and are configured by the user via a graphical
interface.

This is the "promotional" public beta version of FilterTop 1.1, a free
product of TopSoft, Inc. This version is fully functional. However, it
may not be the latest version.

For more information on FilterTop and details on how to obtain the most
current version, visit TopSoft's web site at ,
or email .

System Requirements:

Any Macintosh computer (except Macintosh 128K, Macintosh 512Ke,
Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, Macintosh Portable, PowerBook 100, Macintosh
Classic) running System 7.0 or later. The A/UX and Mac OS X "Classic"
environments are also supported.

FilterTop uses the Thread Manager, which is built-in for System 7.5 and
later, but requires a separate installation for older Systems.

FilterTop does not require the Appearance Manager (built-in for Mac OS
8.0 and later), nor does it require Navigation Services (built-in for
Mac OS 8.5 and later), but will take advantage of these features if
available (separate installations are required for older Systems).

The accompanying FTWindow Carbon application requires CarbonLib (which
requires Mac OS 8.6 or later). Older versions of FTWindow that support
older Systems are available separately in the "FilterTop 1.1 PB Extras"
package. Debug versions of FilterTop require System 7.5 and later.

Disk space required for FilterTop is approximately 2 to 4 MB; available
free memory required is 1 MB minimum, 2 MB or more memory is
recommended.

You need to open it with Stuffit Expander.

Do you mean Stuffit won't open it? In that case it's probably not fully downloaded and you should clear your browser's cache and try again, because I just downloaded it and it opened fine.

Oh, well yes as you can see this is from 2002. It is made for Mac OS 9. It will not run natively on Mac OS X, and will not run at all if you're using Leopard or Snow Leopard. You'd need Tiger with Classic Mode installed, which undoubtedly wouldn't be worth downgrading just for this application.
