I have posted an updated set of Translator modules for StuffIt Deluxe to replace /info-mac/util/stuffit-translators.hqx in the sumex archives. Translator modules take advantage of the open architecture of the new StuffIts; just drop them in your Translators folder and they show up as new options in the "Other" menu when you work with the "Expert" mode. The UUcode and Tar Modules should be of interest to unix people ... These should appear "soon" in comp.binaries.mac as well as the archives. For the impatient, I am willing to send a few copies by e-mail. It includes three new modules, and documentation in TeachText format: UUCode Translator -- Leonard Rosenthol TAR Translator -- Ray Lau AppleLink Package Translator -- Terry Teague btoa/atob Translator -- Ray Lau MacBinary (BinHex 5) Translator -- Ray Lau DD Translator -- Darryl Lovato (the DD Translator uses the DDexpand init, also available on sumex) The Translator modules will work with StuffIt Classic -- eventually. Classic v.1.6 had a minor bug that prevented translators with hierarchical menus from working; a fix will be released soon. Also included in the package is a compiled version of a sample translator that will be distributed with "Inside StuffIt", a developer's toolkit that will allow users to write their own StuffIt modules. -- Bill (johnston@oscar.ccm.udel.edu) -- 38 Chambers St.; Newark, DE 19711; (302)368-1949 Thanks to Leonard Rosenthol (leonardr@sv.portal.com) who forwarded the translators for posting.
