MacBooz version 2.0 was posted on comp.binaries.mac a while back (and
actually made it through in a couple of months).
If anyone wants a copy of the program, let me know. I would be glad to
send it out.
I wrote MacBooz 2.0. Currently I am working on version 2.1 which fixes
a little list manager bug, uses the full extended filenames provided by
Zoo, and allows multiple open archives (the last one is just to see if
I can do it :-).
I hope to have this finished in the next couple of weeks. I will then
post it as well. I thought I would have it out before Christmas, but
lots of things seemed to have popped up...
There are additional features I am working on including as well, and I
am still taking requests, so feel free to write.
I am also looking for the most recent source for Unzip for the Mac. (The
two programs may get merged...) I would appreciate hearing from anyone
who has a copy of this. (I don't have access to any archives.)
