I was using Apple Commander, but it's slower to use than ADFS and 
crashes every single time I try to quit the program.

I went back to ADFS and found it worked better than I remembered it 
when I first tried it with Snow Leopard. I originally found drag and 
drop barely works any more, but if you import and export via the pull 
down menus, it seems to work OK.

KEGS v0.91 can display 3200 colour images and border effects from 
demos. I don't know what version of KEGS ActiveGS is based on these 
days.
