Getting Started

Important:  If you decide to deinstall TickleServices, do not simply delete the files.  You first must use the TickleServices front end's Server/Deinstall... menu item.

Version of TickleServices after 1.01 are not compatible with NeXTSTEP2.x.  Get TickleServices1.01 if you wish to run under NeXTSTEP2.x.

For correct operation, TickleServices must be installed before use.  Copy TickleServices.app  to an appropriate location, probably in ~/Apps or /LocalApps.  Copy the sample services in TickleServices directory to ~/Library or /LocalLibrary.  Then, run TickleServices.app by double-clicking it from the Workspace.  When TickleServices finds that the server daemon is not running, you will see the following alert panel:

,

Click Install to install the server.  The services should become available to all applications immediately, including running applications, though it may take a couple seconds for the running applications to notice the new services.  Install also arranges for the server daemon to be launched when you login to the Workspace in the future.

If you wish to ``thin'' TickleServices so that it doesn't contain multiple architecture types, select the TickleServices.app directory and use the Lipo/Thin To Current service.  This service is implemented in the Lipo.ts file, so TickleServices must be installed to use it.

Note: If you move TickleServices.app from wherever you installed it originally, the server daemon will not be run the next time you login.  To start it, simply run TickleServices and click Install again.
