Here are my favorite must-haves:

Dmouse OR Qmouse (mouse accel/screen flipper/screen blanker)

HandyIcons (makes a drop-down menu on the WB with your favorite programs)
           A MUST MUST HAVE!

NewZap (object code file editor - edit any file Byte-by-byte)

sf (Show File) - searches for all files matching pattern on a device
                 even looks inside ARC/ZOO files

NewZap and sf are SHAREWARE so if you use them, send in your fee....
