- YEP! Create a service description file (i.e., <file>.service)
- under ~/Library/Services with the following information. Replace the <TEXTs>
- as needed. Run "make_services" from Terminal and then use ixbuild -g (note:
- DO NOT USE Librarian TO CREATE YOUR INDEX SINCE IT DOES NOT USE THE -g
- OPTION: see ixbuild(1))
