OpenStrip 0.2: Open Source Control Strip of Mac OS X
From: "Joseph J. Strout" (joe@strout.net)
Subject: [ANN] OpenStrip v0.2
I've just posted version 0.2 of OpenStrip, the open-source replacement for
the Control Strip for Mac OS X.
This version includes the following improvements:
- implemented SBLoadPreferences and SBSavePreferences
- modules now receive a sdevSaveSettings message before closing
- strip window position is now saved between runs
- OpenStrip now responds to the Quit AppleEvent; this means that it quits
properly when the system is shutting down, or when the Quit command under
the application menu is used
These changes constitute a significant step forward over the last release
of OpenStrip. OpenStrip comes with several built-in modules (including a
digital clock that doesn't get in your way!), and should be immediately
useful to users of OS X. Additional modules are under development, and I
encourage the authors of any Control Strip modules to contact me about
updating those modules for OS X.

Clean-Install Assistant 1.5
9/12/2000: Clean-Install Assistant 1.5 is now available for downloading
from www.marcmoini.com
Version 1.5, released today, allows moving files from Mac OS 9.0.4 to a
newer Mac OS version, or to/from 9.0.4 and previous versions. It is now
able to identify the version number of the System Folder it is working on,
to recognize Apple files from other versions as additions.
Clean-Install Assistant makes it easier to migrate third-party and personal
items to a new Clean-Installed System Folder, and it may also be used to:
Save space and backup your valuable additions and preference files
only, instead of the whole System Folder.
Install the same set of additions on multiple Macs.
Remove extra files and folders from your System Folder to restore it
to a previous state: you can take a 'snapshot' of the System Folder
and have Clean-Install Assistant extract any items added since.
It is free for personal and educational use, download from www.marcmoini.com
Cheers,
Marc
