SOFTWARE AVAILABLE announcement submitted 10/14/94 to comp.sys.next.announce --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Buggy SoFTware (aka Brian Hill ) releases version 1.1 of the RoachesView BackSpace module. Substantial changes to make RoachesView use less cpu and animate more smoothly were made several months ago. The only recent change is a quick hack to eliminate a broken feature (search the source for "Hack" if you're curious). v 1.1 is tri-fat, and has no known bugs. An oft-requested feature, the ability to kill roaches, has not been added, but the source (Copyleft 1994) is also on the archives, and if you want to turn RoachesView into a game, you are welcome to. The performance of RoachesView has improved due to the suggestions of Grant Baillie, Darcy Brockbank, Mitch Golden, Paul Griffin, Scott Hess, and others. Availability: ftp://sonata.cc.purdue.edu/pub/next/submissions/RoachesView.BackModule-1.1MAB.tar.gz ftp://sonata.cc.purdue.edu/pub/next/submissions/RoachesView.BackModule-1.1src.tar.gz or ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/submissions/RoachesView.BackModule-1.1MAB.tar.gz ftp://ftp.cs.orst.edu/pub/next/submissions/RoachesView.BackModule-1.1src.tar.gz and may migrate alongside (or replace) v1.0, which is presently in /software/NeXT/binaries/screen. Installation: RoachesView.BackModule should be installed in /LocalLibrary/BackSpaceViews or in ~/Library/BackSpaceViews. If you get the message, "Could not dynamically load class: RoachesView," you are probably running an older version of BackSpace. Additional Information: See the v1.0_PRESS_RELEASE file (included in the source).
