"Get URL" BBEdit/EasyView Extension
-----------------------------------
Version 1.3 of June 95
This extension calls various Internet software to decode
URL's. Usable from BBEdit and Easy View.
Easy View 2.6 calls this extension on command-click.
**What's New in 1.3**
* Compatible with Internet Config 1.1
* No bookmark files on the desktop
* Works with e-mail addresses
**How to Use**
Place the extension into your "BBEdit Extensions" and/or
"EV Extensions" folder. You don't need to restart the
machine, this is not a system extension.
**More Information**
Version 1.3 makes use of Internet Config by Lewis & Quinn.
Thus it recognizes the Helpers and Info-Mac mirrors you
have set in the Internet Preferences. It also accepts
addresses of the form user@machine or /info-mac/dir/file;
If "Internet Preferences" is not found, Get URL works the
same way as Version 1.2 did.
Four types of URL are recognized in this mode:
* ftp:
* /info-mac/
* gopher:
* http:
The first two go to Anarchie and the last two to MacWeb.
Partial URL: If you need part of the URL, just select it
first. Then choose "Get URL" menu item. Command-click
will select the full URL.
This extension is dedicated to
* Adam Engst, who wrote in TidBITS#211
> I'm looking forward to the day when you can select a URL
> in TidBITS, hit a hot key or select an item from a menu,
> and have Anarchie snag the file for you instantly.
* Peter Lewis, who told me in a private message
> Get yourself MacTCP and get on the network
> -- life's too short for anything less.
* and John Norstad, who invented option-click and told me
how to do it easily.
Thanks.
