About

Deskbots Phrase Editor is a small companion utility to the Deskbots desktop-toy package for the classic Mac OS. Where Deskbots itself populates the desktop with little animated characters that speak and react, the Phrase Editor is the authoring side of that experience: a tool for editing the lines of text the bots draw from when they pipe up.Role of the editorThe editor exists so that users are not stuck with the canned phrase list shipped in Deskbots. Opening a phrase file in the editor exposes the strings the bots use, allowing the user to add new lines, rewrite existing ones, or trim the list down to a personal selection.Relationship to DeskbotsThe Phrase Editor is distributed as a separate application but is meaningless on its own; it is intended to be run alongside an installed copy of Deskbots, with edits saved back into a phrase file the main program loads at runtime.Era and platformLike Deskbots itself, the Phrase Editor is a classic Mac OS application, fitting the mid-1990s desktop-toy genre that placed talking characters, pets, and gadgets on the user's screen as a lightweight novelty.Use todayTo use the editor in a modern setting, run it inside a Classic Mac emulator such as Mini vMac, Basilisk II, or SheepShaver alongside the Deskbots application it was written to support.
