- The Grouch 2.0
- by Eric Shapiro
-
- Graphics by Ken Hornak
-
-
- Drag "The Grouch" into your System Folder and restart
- your Mac. Notice that the "Special" menu in the Finder
- has changed slightly. Throw something you don't need
- into the trash and select "Empty Trash" from the "Special"
- menu (keep an eye on the trash and the volume turned up).
-
- The Grouch should work on most Macintoshes (MacPlus or later) using
- System 6.0x or 7.0. Let me know if you find any incompatibilities. It
- won't work at all if you've modified your trash can icon (the animation
- would look silly anyway).
-
- The Grouch used to be called "Oscar", but Apple released an INIT by
- that name and things were getting confusing.
-
- Improvements over Oscar 1.0:
- Color animation
- Simultaneous sound & graphics
- Uses less permanent memory
- Easier to find "About" box
- Works on Mac Portable (I think)
- Command Key keeps Oscar silent and in the trash
- The INIT can be renamed (although you'll have to reboot)
- and much, much, more.
-
- Improvements over 2.0B8:
- Doesn't bomb on old System versions
- Works with System 7 (at least with 7.0a9)
- "Get Info" on the trash no longer confuses us

- fun to watch educational TV.
