NOTE TO USERS: You probably have no use whatsoever for this application.
Why use this program? If you're a network administrator who sets up NCSA Telnet, you probably spend a lot of time deleting the NCSA Telnet Settings file from the System Folder because sometimes it causes problems and it's best just to let NCSA recreate it automatically. Rather than having to delete it each time by opening the system folder and dragging it to the trash, I wrote this quick hack which deletes the file.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. DOUBLE CLICK THE PROGRAM'S ICON.
2. IF IT FINDS THE NCSA TELNET SETTINGS FILE IN THE SYSTEM FOLDER, IT WILL DELETE IT AND QUIT. OTHERWISE, IT WILL DISPLAY AN ERROR DIALOG.
3. THAT'S ALL THERE IS FOLKS!
NOTE TO BEGINNING PROGRAMMERS: This is not terribly good style to learn from. I wrote this quickly, and for a very specific purpose. As a Macintosh application, it really violates a ton of guidelines. There is no interface, the error handling is minimal,there is no event handling, it can't background, etc.
Again, this application has one purpose and one purpose only - to *quickly* delete the NCSA Telnet Settings file.
Suggestions and bug reports (though I really hope there isn't any in something this short) are welcome at the addresses shown above.
