DragBook is a scrapbook-like utility which collects all of a user's NEXTSTEP resources such as documents, applications, images, and fonts. Resources are grouped into a series of "palettes", and are accessed in a manner similar to InterfaceBuilder's palette system: by dragging elements out of DragBook's window to their destination. Destinations include other applications which support drag-and-drop, and a special "Pasteboard Well", which copies the resource into the NEXTSTEP pasteboard. DragBook "elements" may be EPS or TIFF images, files, plain-text, rich-text, fonts, ruler-definitions, or sounds. "One of the palettes we use, for example, is for creating company documents. It contains our company logo, our company-font, a Virtuoso template for correspondence, and a text element with our company address. Whenever we need one of these elements, we simply drag-and-drop!" commented Jason Anthony, President of Digital Expressions. "Another palette we use is for programming. It contains `text' elements which have templates for classes, methods, comments and documentation files." Until October 31, 1993, students may purchase DragBook for the discounted price of $29. Contact Digital Expressions for more information. DragBook ships as a multiple-architecture-binary with support for both NeXT Computers and NEXTSTEP for Intel. NEXTSTEP 3.0 or greater required. To try out DragBook, a demonstration version may be obtained via ftp at: cs.orst.edu: /pub/next/submissions/DragBook.tar.Z sonata.cc.purdue.edu: /pub/next/submissions/DragBook.tar.Z Or, contact "DigitalExpressions@andi.org" to have a demonstration copy NeXTmail'ed to you (approximately 720K). The demonstration version may be fully enabled with a license key, which may be purchased over the phone with a VISA or Mastercard. DragBook ships on a NEXTSTEP 1.44MB 3.5" disk.
