Pacifist 2.0.1 is a shareware application that opens Mac OS X .pkg package files, .dmg disk images, and .tar, .tgz, and .tar.gz file archives and allows you to extract individual files and folders out of them. This is useful, for instance, if an application which is installed by the operating system becomes damaged and needs to be reinstalled without the hassle of reinstalling all of Mac OS X. Pacifist is also able to verify existing installations and find missing or altered files*, and Pacifist can also examine the kernel extensions installed in your system to let you see what installer installed them, and whether the installer was made by Apple or a third-party. Pacifist is compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 or higher, including Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). It is also compiled as a Universal Binary for maximum performance on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macs.

If you work with MacOS 10.3 or better: zero configuration, the Macs will find each other. It is possible to share only certain groups created in the Address Book, that means you are able to choose which group of contacts (e.g. company) will be shared and which should not be accessible. (e.g. private). To prevent that every person in your network can get your Address Book contacts you will be asked to determine a password that people will need to get access to your Address Book. Features: Sync your Address Book with other Address Books. Only Address Book entries, that are new or differ from your Address Book will be synced. If contacts have differrent entries (e.g. phone number), you can choose, which entry you want to keep or update your old entry. Share your entire Address Book for syncing. Share only chosen groups of your Address Book for syncing. (others are not accessible) Groups made accessible are still password protected.
