A new version of DarkSide of the Mac has been made available for FTP on ftp.apple.com. Path is /dts/mac/hacks/darkside-2-3.hqx. Those of you who wished to have a new version and were unable to get it via mail due to mailer restrictions may wish to try their hand at ftp. Someone can post a copy to c.b.m if they wish. For those who are unaware - DarkSide of the Mac is a freeware extendable screen saver that is written as an application and patches no Macintosh traps. It currently has a collection of 29 screen savers, which also work with Luni's Darkness screen saver if you are happy without the settings. This version fixes about 30 bugs that have been reported via the net against 2.0.5 - it also includes a very nice new fader for those with color monitors. This version has been stable for about 5 months now.

Hi, I just checked ftp.apple.com today, and noticed that the file, together with a few other recent ones, do not have their global read permission enabled. This gives a permission denied when I tried to get the file. Could someone relay this to whoever maintains the archive? (M. Johnson?) BTW, ftp.apple.com is great! Keep up the good work! T.C.
