- Thanks to the good offices of Karl Kraft (karl@ensuing.com),
- ScenePatch.app.tar.Z is now available for anonymous ftp
- (sorry, no mail server service) from yak.macc.wisc.edu
- [144.92.30.18], in directory pub/next/scene.
-
- Assuming you have already done the good thing for Icon.app
- from NS2.1 using IconPatch (q.v.) and therefore have your
- (large) shared libraries from 2.1 in the right place, fixing
- Scene to work under 3.0 is dirt-simple: you drag and drop
- the icon of the unpatched Scene onto the ScenePatch.app's
- panel and zip! all's well. I gave it try, worked like a
- champ.
-
- Bravos to Karl, he's my current hero. But be aware that I'm
- fickle; my hero is always the person who's done the most for
- me *lately*! :-)
-
- In response to suggestions received from several quarters
- that I create a submissions directory on yak, sorry, no can
- do. I'm getting short on disk space myself, so I have to
- confine it a few specialized items.
-
- I feel sorry for the person (I think it's a student
- volunteer) at sonata who has to maintain things there. It's
- clearly badly hosed at the moment. Also, I discovered this
- morning that the copy of ScenePatch.app at cs.orst.edu is
- also hosed (no executable inside there), though Karl will
- probably have fixed that by the time you see this.
-
- While I'm at it: things you can find on my machine include
- the latest C-Kermit, the latest Elm mail user agent, my
- login tiff collection, some documentation on Icon (but I'm
- in the process of improving that, I hope), and a few other
- things.
-
- Here's hoping 1993 is the greatest year ever for NeXT and
- NeXT users. In any case, get safely through the coming
- night. The best to you and yours.
