-
- Perhaps the .README wasn't clear in stating that FlyView requires
- NeXTSTEP/BackSpace 3.0. Under BackSpace 3.0 you can have "BackModules"
- as well as "BackO" files. This allows you to neatly wrap all of your
- module's files in one directory.
-
- To install it just drag the icon/file (FlyView.BackModule) into your
- ~/Library/BackSpaceViews directory or /LocalLibrary/BackSpaceViews,
- and then launch BackSpace 3.0.
-
- On a side note, there is one bug in FlyView. A method gets called
- from the initFrame: method that attempts to (un)lockFocus on the view.
- This will (of course) generate error messages in /tmp/console.log and
- /usr/adm/messages. I'll submit a fixed version shortly.
