Over the last 3 years, the Version Master-Mac 1.0 application has silently attracted thousands of Macintosh aficionados and professionals. Unlike most software update tools, Version Master-Mac dynamically builds and updates a massive database of over 60,000 worldwide Macintosh titles, including OS extensions, control panels, and INITs of every conceivable variety.
Version Master-Mac 2.0 dramatically increases its utility to the Macintosh IS professional by adding automatic e-mail notification. When updates occur to the specific software users have on their Macs, Version Master will send an e-mail notifying the user that a newer version is available. Symmetry even verifies if the version is an official release or an unofficial version in restricted release by its developer. A Sherlock Plug-In is included which accesses the new search engine at the Version Master web site.
Version Master-Mac is technically a free program/service, thought the company requests a US$19.95 donation. The product can be downloaded from the company's web site.
