  236.  <p>*** Breakthrough: Run scripts without user interference ***</p>
  237. <p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</p>
  238. <p>WESTFORD, MA -- April 19, 1999 -- PreFab Software, Inc. is pleased to<br />
  239. announce that version 1.5 of Player shipped today. Although an<br />
  240. increasing number of applications and control panels include some<br />
  241. support for scripting, key features are left untouched. Player fills<br />
  242. the gap, adding verbs to AppleScript and Frontier to query and<br />
  243. control the user interface.</p>
  244. <p>The 1.5 release adds support for MacOS 8.5.x, user-requested commands<br />
  245. and options, plus a breakthrough feature: a verb to disable user<br />
  246. input to prevent interference with running scripts.</p>
  247. <p>   Very cool! This is the last piece of my major puzzle. Thanks!</p>
  248. <p>   Steve Briggs, <a href="mailto:steve@wowpages.com">steve@wowpages.com</a>, Wow Pages Interactive,<br />

  250. <p>PreFab Player 1.5 will retail for $139 ($79 for education); the<br />
  251. current $95 price will be honored through May 15. The price includes<br />
  252. one license for Player Runtime. Additional Runtime licenses are $25<br />
  253. each, with volume discounts available beginning at quantity 10.<br />
  254. Current Player owners may upgrade to 1.5 for $49; or $39 through May<br />
  255. 15. Registered users who purchased after June 1, 1998 have already<br />
  256. been sent a free upgrade. A free 30-day trial version of Player can<br />
  257. be downloaded from <a href="http://www.prefab.com/" title="http://www.prefab.com/">http://www.prefab.com/</a>.</p>
  258. <p>...</p>
  259. <p>Scripts are often used to automate long procedures, running for hours<br />
  260. or even days. If someone accidently interferes, the script may stop<br />
  261. with an unexpected error and leave files, folders and applications in<br />
  262. an uncertain state. Even if the user could afford the time to run the<br />
  263. script again from scratch, manual work would be required to sort<br />
  264. through what had been done and put everything back for a fresh start.<br />
  265. For scripts that are distributed to a user community, everything<br />
  266. would grind to a halt until technical support could be found.</p>
  267. <p>Player 1.5 solves this problem with a verb to disable user input from<br />
  268. an ADB mouse, keyboard or both. An icon flashes in the upper left<br />
  269. corner to provide feedback to the user. For safety, command-period<br />
  270. will abort a script, though the script writer can disable this<br />
  271. feature.</p>
  272. <p>   The new 'disable user input' feature is great!  There's no longer any<br />
  273. chance for users to inadvertantly interfere with the handling of dialog<br />
  274. boxes which may appear in the course of a script being played out.</p>
  275. <p>   Harry Brindley, Intelligent Ideas, <a href="mailto:brindley@ideas.co.za">brindley@ideas.co.za</a></p>
  276. <p>Since the first pre-release version back in 1993, Player features<br />
  277. have been driven by user requests. The 1.5 release is no exception.<br />
  278. Player now includes a verb to move the mouse & leave it there, a way<br />
  279. to change the location from which Player chooses menu items (for<br />
  280. compatibility with other software that uses a specific location on<br />
  281. the menubar), and a new parameter to optionally disable the extra<br />
  282. click that is only required for certain pop-up menus.</p>
  283. <p>   I think it's a great addition to the Mac/AppleScript environment.</p>
  284. <p>   Dr. Fred Martin, Research Scientist, MIT Media Laboratory</p>
  285. <p>Player 1.5 also works around internal changes to MacOS 8.5,<br />
  286. continuing to provide query and control of dialog items by name and<br />
  287. ID plus typing keystrokes and text, powerful drag commands, a verb to<br />
  288. quickly set multiple checkboxes in one command and much more.</p>
  289. <p>   With PreFab's Player 1.5 upgrade and a PPC native Applescript, MacOS 8.5<br />
  290. is now an incredibly powerful platform for publishing automation. Player<br />
  291. makes it possible to automate many tasks that otherwise would have to be<br />
  292. done by hand.</p>

  294. a developer of systems for scholarly publishers</p>
  295. <p>This release also fixes a few problems with earlier versions: pop-up<br />
  296. menus no longer "stick" on MacOS 8 and later, multiple modifier keys<br />
  297. now work in QuarkXPress and elsewhere, menu selection no longer has<br />
  298. problems on certain newer systems and "click to log" works in<br />
  299. Frontier 5. For customers who are sticking with MacOS 8.1 or earlier,<br />
  300. we've made these fixes available on our web site in a free Player 1.2<br />
  301. update.</p>
  302. <p>   I use Player with AppleScript to automate as many tasks as possible;<br />
  303. workflow, some networking and some system admin functions.  Player is one<br />
  304. great product!</p>

  306. <p>---</p>
  307. <p>PreFab Software, Inc. was founded to meet the emerging demand for<br />
  308. scripting tools, automation utilities and "pre-fabricated software<br />
  309. components". Player(tm) first shipped in August 1994, quickly<br />
  310. becoming an essential scripting tool. Text Machine brings the power<br />
  311. of pattern matching search and replace to the desktop.</p>
