- WEST CHESTER, Ohio, June 5, 1995 -- Flying Monkey Software announces a
- set of "UNIX ASSIST" shareware to continue to help stamp out typing in
- our lifetime. These apps are aimed at NeXT developers who create
- software incrementally, have to deal with multiple platforms, non-NeXT
- domains, and more typing into terminals than they'd like. The UNIX
- ASSIST series will continue to expand as more quick-and-dirty
- opportunities to wrap UNIX are identified.
-
- All of these apps are free for the taking! Use them yourself, give
- them to your friends, ship them with your systems, whatever... All can
- had through a simple ftp under
-

- series to grow.

- gzipper lets you zip and unzip files and directories with a click,
- a drag, or a call. Unix Assist -> gzip will appear on your
- Services menu to fire on a file, or you can command-click gz files
- in the file viewer, or command drag files into the gzipper
- icon. GzipperSpeaker.h and GzipperSpeaker.m are also provided as
- an API.
-
- msgwrapper - a wrapper for msgwrap - (registration: $2)
-
- msgwrapper lets create speaker/listener pairs from a msg file with
- a click, a drag, or a call. Unix Assist -> msgwrap will appear on
- your Services menu to fire on a file, or you can command-click msg
- files in the file viewer, or command drag msg files into the
- msgwrapper icon. MsgwrapperSpeaker.h and MsgwrapperSpeaker.m are
- also provided as an API.
-
- stripper - a wrapper for strip - (registration: $2)
-
- stripper lets you strip executable files (directly or in .app
- directories) with a click, a drag, or a call. Unix Assist -> strip

- command drag files into the stripper icon. StripperSpeaker.h and
- StripperSpeaker.m are also provided as an API.
-
- uuencoder - a wrapper for uuencode and uudecode - (registration: $2)

- uuencoder lets you uuencode and uudecode files or directories with
- a click, a drag, or a call. (Note: if you want to uuencode
- directories, you'll need the gzipper shareware above.) Unix Assist
- -> uuencode will appear on your Services menu to fire on a file,
- or you can command-click uue files in the file viewer, or command
- drag files into the uuencoder icon. UuencoderSpeaker.h and
