Announcing the release of Stuart2.4
Stuart is the mildly popular shareware NeXTSTEP DEC VT100 terminal
emulator. Stuart has just been released to the ftp archive site
sonata.cc.purdue.edu, and currently resides in the directory
pub/next/2.0-release/demos. Don't let the "demos" part fool you,
though - it's a fully enabled version (it's in demos because that's
where commercial software goes).
Stuart2.4 has a large number of improvements over Stuart2.3 and
Terminal[23], too many to list here - see the Features section of
the online manual for a list of them. A short list is in order,
though:
o Online manual with easy navigation and searching.
o Custom window titlebars can be dynamically set from the shell
using xterm-style OSC sequences, or from the user interface.
o Improved file drag&drop support.
o Per-window shelves for easy access to files and directories.
o Revised Preferences and New/Preferences panels, along with a
Runtime inspector panel.
o Meta-key support for non-QWERTY keymaps.
o Quite a number of bug fixes (see the Fixes.rtf file in the
distribution).
And the list could continue. Rather than accost you with pages of
advertising hype, I'll let you download it and decide for yourself.
If you spend more than a couple minutes a day at a shell prompt,
it should be well worth your time.
If you are unable to ftp, please drop me a note and I will attempt
to get the distribution to you via email. Either NeXTMail or
uuencoded tar.Z is fine by me - whatever is best for you. Note
that the distribution is around 300k, in case that'll make a
difference with your email paths.
