Lately, helpful floks have posted three programs to the Mac group:
Advsys
Tinydemo
and Picswitch. These were all UUENCODED, ARCed binaries. What do you do?
uudecode them, and unarc them, of course. They EACH turned out to be
ST BINARIES!!!!!!!!!!
Blowtorch fueled, ready. ->GO!
CAN YOU STOP POSTING ST BINARIES TO COMP.SYS.MAC????
Yes...WHEN YOU POST A BINARY TO MAC, I suggest GREATLY that you TRY IT ON
A MAC!!!! These @*&^(#%@ HUGE, NON-MAC POSTS are NOISE to us Mac users!!!
Now can someone produce a version of Picswitch for the MAC? HMM?
Blowtorch shutdown.
Thank you.
