xACT stands for X Audio Compression Toolkit. It is a GUI based front end (written in AppleScript Studio) for the UNIX applications Shorten (3.5.1), shntool (1.2.3), monkey's audio compressor (3.97) and flac (1.1.0).

It also uses a modified md5sum (modified from 2.1 textutils) and sox (12.17.4). It does the basic commands of these applications and adds a few features to speed up productivity in creation of etree.org standard filesets.

What's New:
compiled Universal Binary versions of shntool (version 2.0.3), shorten (v3.5.1), flac(1.1.1 for ppc, 1.1.2 for intel), sox(17.17.7 for ppc, 12.17.9 for intel)
fixed bug when encoding to monkey's audio.
