You can setup two or more ntp servers by typing all their addresses in the input box, separated by spaces. But remember to get rid of the rest of the descriptive text. Very useful inside Wits, where you cannot reach the standard Apple NTP servers.
- Batteries
Emacsen
There is an incredible number of Os X/Acqua/Carbon versions of Emacs and Xemacs. Not trivial to find the right one.
Other editors for Mac Os X

malloc_history
- MallocDebug.app
gdb
interesting that, since it traps aborts and segfaults, it can be used to apply malloc_history to a program that crashes. Pity that despite all this malloc_history did not manage to explain me why Geant4.9 works with HBook, and Geant4.8 crashes instead.
