neat trick with Opener
Dear Folks,
I haven't been able to get all the stuff done for NeXTWORLD
Expo that I was hoping (MSW 5.0 still has many irritating bugs).
Could anyone with Opener try using it to automatically open
executables and documents? I was going to grab it from the archives
and see if I could configure it to work and then show it at NeXTWORLD
Expo. I'm not sure I'll have the time.
Executor-MSW can be run from the command line as long as it's
pathname is fully qualified (i.e. starts with "/"). Similarly if the
next argument is an executable app then that application will be run
at start up, similarly if the arguments after that are the proper
type documents for the executable then they'll be opened on startup.
I think this should be enough for some resourceful soul to get things
going.
Now that I've speculated that it should work, let's all cross
our fingers. I know it will make a few people a little more happy.
