I recently posted a new tool, catcher, to comp.sources.x and
comp.sources.sun. This tool lets you use scripts to create little
windowed tools that can catch dropped files and text and do something
with the dropped object. For example, you can compile a dropped C file
(or even a fragment of C code). You can sort files, run sed or awk,
or whatever you would normally do from the command line. This is a
handly tool for people using Sun's filemgr or mailtool.
Look for catcher in the aforementioned newsgroups, or FTP it now
from trantor.harris-atd.com (26.13.0.98) in
/pub/suntools/catcher/catcher.*.shar. The package includes a 24 page
manual. Comments and suggestions always welcome!
NOTE: The current release tries to install catcher.info when you
install the tool. There is no such file; ignore the message. The tool
is unaffected by this error. A future patch will clean up the makefile.
