I've FTP'd 2.0 versions of the following programs that were available under 1.0 (and before) to the 'submissions' directory of the cs.orst.edu archive: PrimeSpiral.tar.Z SoundAndLight.tar.Z Unknown.tar.Z background It will probably take a day or so for them to replace the older versions in the 'sources' directory. Quick descriptions follow below. I'm still working on the 2.0 versions of MOTD and NLoad. - Christopher PrimeSpiral: The 1.0 version runs under 2.0 but the "Info..." panel doesn't work so this recompile fixes that. This is a simple 'demonstration' application that runs 2X faster under 2.0 and another 3X faster on the '040. SoundAndLight: An interfaces-less application that resets the values for screen brightness and speaker volume to values set in the user defaults database. Corrects for a bug on the NeXT where you can select the settings with Preferences but they don't get restored on subsequent logins. Unknown: This application's existence in the search path causes icons to be defined for file types that don't have them. It also has the ability to map Unix commands onto file types (e.g. *.Z files map to 'uncompress'). background: Since Eric Scott's "much improved replacement for Lane's shell script posted here in March" never surfaced (did it?) here's a 2.0 compatible version thanks to Gilles Detillieux <grdetil@larry.scrc.umanitoba.ca>. -------

As soon as I have a full 2.0 system up, goodies will follow. Right now, I have one non-networked NeXTstation running the 2.0-Crippled release--I can type weird incantations at pft, but not much more. Real Soon Now, I hope. (Too long a story to go into right now.) Hmm, when's that March anniversary coming up? :-) -=EPS=-
