Ever needed to open one of those Tomes from a set of System Software install disks? Wanted to know, for example, which version of the WorldScript Power Adapter you'd get from a German 7.5.3 Update 2.0 install -- without going through a long and large footprint install?
Now you can.
TomeViewer will open an installer compressed file tome and allow you to view the tome's contents. You can also expand and extract any of the items which reside in the tome. Finally, you can use the "Show Info..." menu item to view more detailed information concerning the item.
Known limitations:
• TomeViewer is not capable of opening tomes of type/creator 'ircp' rather than 'idcp'. 'ircp' is the type given to tomes that have individual resources compressed into them rather than files.
• TomeViewer may have problems opening tomes which contain more than 50-100 items.
TomeViewer is brought to you by the Apple Installer engineers with a lot of help from the moonlighting SCM guy and at the prodding of DTS.
NOTE: This is a pre-release version of TomeViewer. You can report bugs and enhancement requests against the TomeViewer component or by sending them to devsupport@apple.com. ®
