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,
Manuel A. PÄrez

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,
Manuel A. PÄrez
