Require Sygate PF utility

I use Sygate personal Firewall 5 and I find that it is slow work
going through the list of entries in the "Applications" window.

The window is a bit cramped and offers no sorting.

Are there any add-ons which can make managing the applications in
Sygate easier?

Nope, no such utilities exist. Perhaps you could write a few.

If you're too scared to go look for yourself, ask me

I don't understand the problem you are having with the Applications
Window. This is a list of applications (or O/S components) that have
or have attempted to connect to internet.
Click on an item, then click Advanced at the bottom of the page to
set the advanced application configuration for that item.
You can assign remote port numbers that it can connect to (excluding
all others)and set it to act as client.
Also, you can right click an item to set it to Allow, Ask, or Block.
Thats about all you do with the app. window. I can't imagine why you
would want to sort anything.

We are talking at cross purposes! The problem I have is finding an
application outof all the entries.

For example, I may get told that a certain program has tried to get
through the firewall. This is slow to locate because they prgrams
are sorted by full directory path (though not in all cases to make it
even harder). The window is too small and can't be enlarged.

Martin, you must be running Win XP or 2000. I run Win 98 and
am not familar with those. My son had a problem puting a firewall
on 2000. Win2000 o/s had a dozen or two services that pass
out thru a service host file (svchost.exe). Billy Gates built
them that way :>( I understand that they all show up in the
Application Window as svchost. I suppose this is what is giving
you the trouble. You might can sort that out here:
