SCED ==== by Klaus Hofrichter, May 1993, Version 1.2a Welcome to Sced, a little application which is useful for people who are sometimes using DOS disks to exchange files. You may have a problem with the file-suffix, because DOS only allows three characters. The Workspace Manager uses this extension for mapping files and applications, so you can't doubleklick on a file like "foo.fm" to open FrameMaker (Frame expects foo.frame). Other folks may find Sced useful, at least for the tasteful application icon or for the chance to define your own document icons for some existing application which comes without sourcecode (like FrameMaker). Sced takes the filename (e.g. foo.fm) from the WM after doubleklick on a document icon and scans an internal map. If there is an entry, Sced will redirect the "openFile:ok" message from the Workspace Manager to the given application. Sced does not take every file, only those you have added to the code. With other words, you should have a bit knowledge about compiling and editing code to prepare Sced for your site. Since Version 1.2 you can advise Sced to create a soft link with the appropriate file extension and ask the WM to find the application for this file. The link will be placed in the tmp folder. This feature was suggested by Bruce Gingery together with other ideas. The Version 1.2a is a minor bugfix to 1.2. Instead of openFile:ok we use openTempFile:ok for the new created link. This suggests to delete the link after use by the target application. In addition, the error-messages are displayed by panels (instead of a secret line in the console window).
