[comp.sys.mac.system] Applicon Reposted

rmh@apple.com (Rick Holzgrafe) (05/31/91)

Many people have had trouble unpacking the recent posting of Applicon in 
comp.binaries.mac. I have freshly repacked it, checked it carefully, and 
submitted it to comp.binaries.mac for reposting. It is also now available 
for anonymous ftp from these sites:

  sumex-aim.stanford.edu  info-mac/util/applicon-20.hqx
  ftp.apple.com           dts/mac/hacks/applicon-2-0.hqx

Thanks to Mark B. Johnson, and the kind folks at Info-Mac, and the helpful 
moderator of comp.binaries.mac for their aid in making Applicon widely 
available.

There is one known bug (cause unknown, and I can't make it happen myself): 
Sometimes it doesn't remember your preferences. The workaround is to set 
your preferences (tile placement, etc.) and then quit by choosing "Quit" 
from the File menu. Then restart and all should be well.

I don't know if or when I'll have time for an upgrade. If I do, it will 
definitely support color and an option for small icons in small tiles; 
those are the two features most often requested.

Thanks to everyone who sent mail. I love getting mail. :-)
