Path: digifix!not-for-mail From: blake015@mc.duke.edu (Denise Blakeley) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.announce Subject: SUBMISSION: Opener.app for 3.1 MAB! Date: 7 Aug 1993 23:26:48 -0400 Organization: Next Announcements Lines: 41 Sender: sanguish@digifix.com Approved: sanguish@digifix.com Message-ID: <241rpo$47f@digifix.digifix.com> Folks-- I have just placed version 3.1 of Opener.app at cs.orst.edu in /pub/next/submissions. There you'll find: Opener_3.1.app.README Opener_3.1.app.tar.Z Eventually these should migrate to /pub/next/binaries/util. I was unable to successfully ftp these to sonata.cc.purdue.edu, but I hope to be able to sometime next week. The differences from Opener 3.0, are as follows: - Added .gz file type (files compressed via GNU gzip/gunzip utility) - Added .arj file type (extraction only) - Included latest versions of (pk)zip and (pk)unzip - Reconciled app, sources, etc. to NeXTSTEP 3.1 - Made Opener and all included compression/decompression utilities FAT. Since the original author, Michael Hawley, is swamped with his PhD dissertation at MIT right now, this release is brought to you by myself (Denise Blakeley, blake015@mc.duke.edu) and Subrata Sircar (ssircar@canon.com). So if you have questions or problems with it, you might want to ask one of us first rather than Michael--despite what it says in the documentation. IMPORTANT NOTE: for those of you who have expressed concern about the "automatic mailing" feature of Opener (which notified Michael the first time you used Opener), we did NOT remove this. OUR DOING SO WOULD HAVE VIOLATED MICHAEL'S COPYRIGHT ON THE APP. On the positive side, realize that once you've used Opener that first time it never sends another automatic mail message, because the event is recorded in your defaults database. (Do a "dread -o Opener" to see what I mean.) So as long as you don't wipe out your defaults database, even installing a new version of Opener will not generate more behind-the-scenes mail. Hope you enjoy the new version-- Denise Blakeley blake015@mc.duke.edu
