- "Get URL" BBEdit/EasyView Extension
- -----------------------------------
- Version 1.2 of February 95
-
- This extension calls various Internet software to decode
- URL's. Usable from BBEdit and Easy View.
-
- Place the extension into your "BBEdit Extensions" and/or
- "EV Extensions" folder. You don't need to restart the
- machine, this is not a system extension.
-
- "Get URL" recognizes 4 URL strings currently:
- * ftp:
- * /info-mac/
- * gopher:
- * http:
- The first two go to Anarchie and the last two to MacWeb.
-
- Anarchie will fetch directly from an Info-Mac mirror, when
- the insertion point is on a file name that begins with
- "/info-mac/", another good reason to read the digests with
- Easy View. (Set your I-M mirror in Anarchie Prefs)
-
- These strings and their behavior are configurable with ResEdit.
- You can add/delete/modify STR# resources.
-
- Full URL: Click within any URL that begins with "ftp:", "http:",
- "gopher:", or "/info-mac/" and choose the extension from the
- menu. (It helps to assign a command key)
-
- Partial URL: If you need part of the URL, just select it first.
- Be sure your selection begins with one of strings above.
-
- I hope to make Easy View 2.6 to respond to option-click with
- this extension.
-
-
- This extension is dedicated to

- how to do it easily.

- Thanks.
