NGService Copyright 1992,1993, Scott Anguish Welcome to NGService... a service provider to help those who don't use NewsGrazer to read NewsGrazer articles easily. Who am I ------------------------- Scott Anguish Digital Fix Development 589 Beechwood Drive, Unit 30 Waterloo, Ontario N2T 2K9 519 886-0885 519 886-3673 (fax) sanguish@digifix.com (NextMail of course!) Purpose and instructions ------------------------- NGService allows you to select the NewsGrazer portion of a posting and view it as you would in NewsGrazer! Select the lines from ... -- NewsGrazer, a NeXTstep(tm) news reader, posting -- M>UQR=&8P7&%N"`S,C8M,CDW ?-RE<"B!086QO($%L=&\L($-A;&EF;W)N:6%<"@I]"F58 ` and select the NGService->Read option from the services menu. NGService will launch, and bring up a window that will show you the contents. Used for ------------------------- NGService actually arose from the number of complaints on the Net about NewsGrazer posts, and those who don't want to use NewsGrazer, or want to be able to view NewsGrazer postings at home, where they don't have enough CNews set up to run NewsGrazer. It also served the purpose of introducing me to NeXT services, and cells in Text Objects. Also since there is no NewsGrazer for NEXTSTEP Intel, and there will not be one made available from NeXT, this will make it possible for the Intel users to access the NewsGrazer files easily. Which NeXT release your software was developed under ---------------------------------------------------- NGService was implemented under 2.x, and the only change that was needed to get it running under 3.0 was to have Project Builder convert the IB.proj file to the new PB.project format, and then change one line in the Makefile.preamble... However when I upgraded to 3.1, and then went to quickly recompile a fat version, there were a few things that had to be changed. I also spent an hour and cleaned up some things.
