- Subject: Digest Browser v1.0
-
- This simple programs displays Info-Mac Digests in a
- hierarchical editor. A window is divided in two panes,
- the top pane has the names of senders of the messages,
- and the bottom pane shows the contents of the message.
-
- Multiple documents may be opened at a time, limited only
- by available memory. The parser is based on C code written
- by Mike Gleason. His code is available in the info-mac
- sources (I beleive in the Unix directory). The original code
- works for VT-100 type terminals using inverse video.
-
- The Macintosh version was built with Symantec's THINK C
- and the THINK Class Library (TCL). I haven't decided on
- what to do with the source for this project, but for now
- I will keep it. There are a few other features that I will
- like to add. Please send me your comments and wish
- lists. I will see what I can do. If there is enough interest
- I can make the source code available (it is very small).
- I was also thinking about an X-windows version, but no
- time for that yet. If you find other uses for the program,
- please let me know how it behaves (right now, I save my
- email files, and read them with the browser. The file
- format is similar enough that it kind-of-works).
-
- This program has been tested in a Mac LC, II, and IIfx
- using System 6.0.7 and System 7.0. It was developed
- with THINK C 4.0.5, and recompiled with THINK C 5.0.
- Be forewarned that I haven't pushed it to the limits as
- far as testing for strange or abnormal situations.
-
- You may distribute this program for free, as long as
- this notice is included with it. You may not, under any
- circumstances, sell this program, or very bad things
- might happen to you.
-
- Have fun,
-

- Subject: Digest Browser v1.2
-
- Here is an update for the Digest Browser. This new version
- features bug fixes and suggestions received since v 1.0 was
- made available on info-mac. It also includes the source code
- for the whole project.
-
- Fixes
- - Scrollbar is repositioned at the top of the scrolling area
- when a new item is selected in the top pane.
- - Printing will print the message pane (I have no idea what
- it was doing before).
-
- New features
- - New menu "Index" with the choices From, Date and Subject.
- - Default choice for Index is "Subject".
- - Source code is included.
-
- This time, the program has only been tested on a Mac II,
- using System 7.0. It was developed with THINK C 5.0.
- As before, I haven't pushed it to the limits as
- far as testing for strange or abnormal situations.
-
- You may distribute this program for free, as long as
- this notice is included with it. You may not, under any
- circumstances, sell this program or the source code,
- or very bad things might happen to you and/or your dog.
-
- I will like to keep track of developments to the Digest
- Browser, if you make any extensions, could you send me
- (or info-mac) a note on what you did to it?
-
- Have fun,
