- How would you like to halve your duplication costs and accelerate your
- software's launch time simultaneously? In about 5 minutes.
-
- Our new software, More Disk Space, makes applications smaller without
- sacrificing performance or convenience. Applications made smaller by More Disk
- Space will run on any Macintosh without the More Disk Space software, without a
- self-extracting archiver, and without special installer software. They're
- simply smaller versions of themselves that run stand-alone on any Macintosh.
-
- A demonstration TCA (Transportable Compressed Application) is attached. It is
- about the same size as the popular '.sit' file found on many bulletin boards,
- but you can simply double-click on it to launch it. It has its original icon
- and it will launch on any system, independent of system extensions or other
- applications.
- ___________________________________________
-
- How to create your own TCAs with More Disk Space:
-
- • Drag and drop your completed application onto the More Disk Space icon.
- • More Disk Space compresses the application to a fraction of its original
- size.
-
- That's all there is to it. Your application is now ready to ship in its
- smaller form. No special code modules to link in, no recompilation, simply
- smaller files.
-
- The results:
-
- More Disk Space will allow PageMaker 4.0 to launch from a single 800K floppy
- disk, in less time than it would normally take if it could launch from a
- floppy.
-
- After being shrunk with More Disk Space, Photoshop 2.0 launches from a single
- 800K disk, with no additional software, no installer and not in self-extracting
- archive format.
- ___________________________________________
-
- The benefits of the More Disk Space approach are clear:
-
- • No need for self-extracting archives.
-
- • No need for installers.
-
- • Flexibility: Users can copy individual files from sets of disks without
- needing to run an installer.
-
- • Faster launch times in many cases.
-
- • Less room required on users' hard-disks.
-
- • No additional disk space required during program execution.
-
- • No recompilation required.
-
- • No programming interface to access.
-
- • Flexible insertion into software development cycle: Add compression at any
- point, even on completed projects.
-
- • Works with MPW™, Think C™, MacApp™, Prograph™, Prototyper™, AppMaker™, etc.
-
- • Reliability: By shipping on fewer disks, you reduce return rates due to
- media failure.
-
- • Flexibility: Also available in ‘action atom’ form for the Apple Installer.
- Benchmarks performed on stock Macintosh IIsi 5/80.
-
- • Economy. License fees are very inexpensive. Contact us at the address below
