"Get URL" BBEdit/EasyView Extension
-----------------------------------
Version 1.2 of February 95
This extension calls various Internet software to decode
URL's. Usable from BBEdit and Easy View.
Place the extension into your "BBEdit Extensions" and/or
"EV Extensions" folder. You don't need to restart the
machine, this is not a system extension.
"Get URL" recognizes 4 URL strings currently:
* ftp:
* /info-mac/
* gopher:
* http:
The first two go to Anarchie and the last two to MacWeb.
Anarchie will fetch directly from an Info-Mac mirror, when
the insertion point is on a file name that begins with
"/info-mac/", another good reason to read the digests with
Easy View. (Set your I-M mirror in Anarchie Prefs)
These strings and their behavior are configurable with ResEdit.
You can add/delete/modify STR# resources.
Full URL: Click within any URL that begins with "ftp:", "http:",
"gopher:", or "/info-mac/" and choose the extension from the
menu. (It helps to assign a command key)
Partial URL: If you need part of the URL, just select it first.
Be sure your selection begins with one of strings above.
I hope to make Easy View 2.6 to respond to option-click with
this extension.
This extension is dedicated to

how to do it easily.
Thanks.
