- I would be satisfied with a Move menu item, right next to Copy.

- ... but HFS_Xfer can specify a standard destination, so moving multiple
- files is much quicker.
-
- My problem is that I mostly use Executor for supporting my friends that
- have Macs. I have Internet access, they don't. This means much file
- moving and copying. Other than moving files, serial port support would
- be the most useful for me (for PPP).
-
- I would like to also use it to program, but most languages I've found
- require System 7 or an FPU. There are a few exceptions though, some
- useful. I will upload them to ftp://robot.asimov.net/pub/HFV (the HFV
- archive) when I have configured them properly. Probably the best of
- these is MacMETH, a Modula-2 system partly written by Wirth himself.
- Sorry, but I'm not a big C fan (I'm good at it though), so I'm not
- testing that language. C'est la vie...

-
- Glad to hear it. What language/compiler do you use to make Browser?
