Archive-name: auto/rec.music.gdead/stack-for-browsing-through-digests-offered


Greetings NetHeads,
	Like many of you I used to read every single article in
this newsgroup but now find that impossible as well as no longer
being desirable. Now there are only a few articles a day that 
I really want to read. If you get dead-flames as a digest you may
be interested in this.

The "Reeves Digest Browser" is a hypercard stack which makes it
easy to navigate through digests. It is for use with Macintosh
computers. It is called the "Reeves Digest Browser" to
distinguish it from other Digest Browsers which are around. I've
tried using some but decided that I ought to write my own.
It reads text digests into hypercard putting contents information
into a contents window and each message into its own message
window. It should work on any digest but has been tested only
on the homebrew and grateful dead digests.

You can import single digests or multiple digests. Once that's
done, messages can be shown by clicking on the contents window,
choosing "read messages", clicking "next" or "previous" message
buttons, or choosing the message number. Messages can also
be edited and/or exported to their own files. Complete help is
available for all buttons and fields by option-clicking on the
button or field you want to know about. This stack is offered
as shareware.

It is available by anonymous ftp from
sierra.stanford.edu
	/pub/homebrew/incoming
gdead.src.emu.edu
	/pub/gdead/drop-box
and I have sent it to sumex.stanford.edu but I don't think it
is available just yet. You can also do a decnet copy from
essdp1.lanl.gov disk0:[105277.tohome]. Finally you can just
send me e-mail and I'll mail it to you.
