- There are no such events currently defined. Several people are interested
- in creating such events, but no one has taken the responsibility of doing it.
- Since all suites have to go through me to become offical, the first one to
- get something to me that will work will get it done their way (if I approve).
-
- James "im" Beninghaus of DTS is going to be redoing his CD Remote to support
- AE soon. You might want to collaborate with him to define some standards.
- We've been talking about some of the things that would be necessary. His
- address is BENINGHAUS@Applelink.Apple.Com. Tell him that I sent you.
-
- Once an appropriate spec gets written and approved by me and some cohorts,
- we will post it on ftp.apple.com and Applelink. New suites should also
- appear on the Dev CDs as they are defined.
-
- People are still climbing the learning for AE, but I am talking to more and
- more people who are doing things correctly. It is very encouraging. The
- time of Apple Events is approaching rapidly.
