- SCED
- ====
- by Klaus Hofrichter, May 1993, Version 1.2a
-
- Welcome to Sced, a little application which is useful for people who
- are sometimes using DOS disks to exchange files. You may have a
- problem with the file-suffix, because DOS only allows three
- characters. The Workspace Manager uses this extension for mapping
- files and applications, so you can't doubleklick on a file like
- "foo.fm" to open FrameMaker (Frame expects foo.frame). Other folks may
- find Sced useful, at least for the tasteful application icon or for
- the chance to define your own document icons for some existing
- application which comes without sourcecode (like FrameMaker).
-
- Sced takes the filename (e.g. foo.fm) from the WM after doubleklick on
- a document icon and scans an internal map. If there is an entry, Sced
- will redirect the "openFile:ok" message from the Workspace Manager to
- the given application. Sced does not take every file, only those you
- have added to the code. With other words, you should have a bit
- knowledge about compiling and editing code to prepare Sced for your
- site.
-
- Since Version 1.2 you can advise Sced to create a soft link with the
- appropriate file extension and ask the WM to find the application for
- this file. The link will be placed in the tmp folder. This feature was
- suggested by Bruce Gingery together with other ideas.
-
- The Version 1.2a is a minor bugfix to 1.2. Instead of openFile:ok we
- use openTempFile:ok for the new created link. This suggests to delete
- the link after use by the target application. In addition, the
- error-messages are displayed by panels (instead of a secret line in
- the console window).
