[comp.sys.next] Updated applications on NeXT archive

lane@sumex-aim.stanford.edu (Christopher Lane) (10/16/89)

Updated 1.0 versions for the following are available on the cs.orst.edu NeXT
archive in next/sources.  These were previously releases under (0.8 and) 0.9.

- Christopher


MOTD -- Recompiled 0.9 version with minor internal changes in accordance with
minor internal changes in 1.0.  Some additional 'known bugs' listed in the
README file.

NLoad -- Same deviant, multicolor icon-based 0.9 version (0.95) recompiled and
touched up for 1.0 but no functional changes.

SoundAndLight -- This one was supposed to go away for 1.0 when/if NeXT fixed
the bug where volume, mute and brightness settings in Preferences were stored
in the defaults database but were not restored on Workspace login.
Unfortunately, the bug has apparently gotten worse as the values are not
stored in the defaults database anymore.  Instead of using the values from
'NeXT1', SoundAndLight now uses values stored under its own name.  See the
README file for details.

Unknown -- Functionally the same as the 0.9 version but changed around
internally to cope with the changes NeXT made in the way application and
document ICON segments are handled under 1.0.

In addition, my 'fsectbyname' utility has been replaced by NeXT's new
'segedit' routine (see the 'man' page).
