PATCH for WideScreen0.5 utility
The included diff files will patch the WideScreen 0.5 utility written by
Michael D. Marchionna. Version 0.5 of widescreen does not operate
correctly under version 3.0 of NextStep. Specifically the "sticky dock",
"retrieve dock", and "return dock" options do not work. This patch
fixes that. The original author forbids distributing modifications to
his code without his permission, but he does allow individuals to
modify and use his source code, which is why you won't find modified
code here. In order top use this patch you must get the source for
WideScreen0.5 from either sonata.cc.purdue.edu or cs.orst.edu.
Once you have the source uncompressed and untarred, copy the diff
files to the directory with the source in it and execute the following
commands:
"patch VdtView.m VdtView0_5.diffs"
"patch VdtWindow.m VdtWindow0_5.diffs"
This should apply the patch files. Once this is complete, use the
Project Builder app to recompile WideScreen utility. (double click
on the IB.proj file and click in the builder icon)
This is version 1.1 of the WideScreen patch. The previous version
mistakenly disabled the resizable option. This patch must be applied
to the original source, not to previous patched versions.
-Good luck
