This is Opener 3.4b, Jun 1998. It is available from: ftp://next-ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/archiveutil/ or ftp://ftp.peanuts.org/peanuts/NEXTSTEP/tools/archiver/ README ====== Opener.3.4b.README (this file) Opener.3.4b.Utils.README Opener.3.4b.Source.README Binaries (the app itself, plus utility binaries) ======== Opener.3.4b.xx.pkg.b.tar.gz (pkg binaries) (where xx is the architecture - NI, HS, NIHS) Opener.3.4b.x.b.tar.gz (tar.gz binaries) Opener.3.4b.x.b.compressed (compressed binaries) (where x is the architecture - N, I, H, S) * If you don't already have Opener.app, use compressed binaries. Source ====== Opener.3.4b.Source.sd.tar.gz (all app sources and test files) Opener.3.4b.Utils.s.tar.gz (utility sources, including makefile modifications for NEXTSTEP) These files are necessary only if you plan to modify Opener or the public-domain utilities it uses. Opener 3.4b is a Multi-Architecture Binary (i.e., "fat"). It runs on machines running NeXTSTEP 3.1 or later, Intel i386-based PCs, HP/PA-RISC based machines, and Sun Sparc based machines. Opener is a utility that is indispensable for unpacking or creating common kinds of archived files (.tar, .tar.Z, .shar, .zip, .arc, .arj, .zoo, .gz, bz2, etc.). See Opener.app/language.lproj/HelpOpener/General.rtfd for details. To install, unpack and drop Opener.app into an Apps folder or Install by Install.app (pkg binaries). Differences from Opener 3.4a: - Fixed problem in "Edit archive table..." if you use Tables.app - Correct Edit sub menu's font (Japanese font -> English font) - Added "Services Menu" Differences from Opener 3.4: - Fixed bug in zip archiving with folder - Changed entry for .au files in Opener.table to make better use of disk space Differences from Opener 3.3: - Added .bz2 support to Opener.table and Controller.m - Added binhex archiving support - Replaced some utilities with newer version (hexbin, macunpack, lha, mpack, munpack, zip, unzip) - Added Japanese.lproj Differences from Opener 3.2a: - Added .gnutar.gz, .gnutar.z support to Opener.table - Moved .gz after all other extensions ending in .gz in Opener.table to avoid a search order dependence problem. Creating a .tar.gz appeared to work but really only created a .gz. - Added -appWillInit: to fix first-time-in bug. Opener only opened a file once already launched. - Split out app source files as separate archive from app - Split out test files and put them in Opener_utils part of distribution - Revamped Help - Suggestion no longer overwrites a pending Mail compose window's contents Differences from Opener 3.2: - Fixed bug in setting of default directory preference (really this time!) - Added .mime to Opener.table and Controller.m (omitted before) - Added docAu.tiff to project and to app wrapper (omitted earlier) If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions for future updates, please contact one of us: Michael Hawley (original author) MIT Media Laboratory 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, MA 02139 mike@media-lab.mit.edu Denise Howard (current maintainer) deniseh@idiom.com Tsutomu Eguchi (3.4[ab]? modifier) Tsutomu_Eguchi@ns.saga-med.ac.jp
