MakeADir

MakeDir makes handling archives easier. It creates a directory based on the filename of the archive, adapts the name to RISC OS name-standards and opens the directory.

Download: V1.07, Source: GitHub

MakeLink

MakeLink creates an 'empty' application which points to another application (the target) of your choice. Double clicking on the new application will run the target application, selecting 'Help' in the filer menu will open the help of the target application. That way you can access the target application from several places on the harddisc. The empty link application takes very little space and does not need to be updated when the target application is updated (e.g. a new version).
