Dear list members,

it is time now -- I think -- to announce another -- hopefully useful --
software tool that was built by using FB:   UpDater

From the Read Me Files:

_ WHAT FOR__________________________________________________

• UpDater is a compact and flexible tool for software developers who
   wish to provide updates for their applications.

• UpDater safely removes, adds and replaces resources located in the
   resource fork of a single target file.

• UpDater is easy to configure by entering task specific instructions
   and resources to its resource fork.

_ DEMO_______________________________________________________

• An UpDater Demo is available that replaces and removes resources
   of a supplied SimpleText document.
   (The 'styl' resource is replaced and two 'PICT' resources are added.)

• UpDater Demo is a normal version of UpDater that has been configured
   according to this update task.

• You may reconfigure UpDater Demo for your specific updating tasks.
   All you need for doing this are the UpDater configuration
instructions
   that will be sent, if you are registered user (see below).

_ REGISTRATION______________________________________________

• To configure UpDater the structure of some of its resources must be
   known.

• Upon reception of the registration fee, ResEdit™ templates for and
   detailed descriptions of UpDater's configuration will be returned.

• After registration you may distribute as many copies of configured
   UpDaters for as many different updating tasks as you like.

• However, you may not distribute the supplied ResEdit™ templates and
   the descriptions of UpDater configuration!

• Registration fee is  $ 25.--   (add  $ 5.-- for orders from outside
the EC)

**************************************************************

Background:

For various reasons UpDater has been realized by using FB II. It
consists of a
search engine, a file copy engine, the update kernel and a save restart
routine
that all are managed by the central control and error handling unit.
In its non configured state UpDater occupies only about 50kB of
Diskspace.
It requires less than 100kB of RAM, independent of the size and number
of
the resources to be moved during an update process.

Those of you, who are interested in UpDater, please email me privately!
I shall send you UpDater Demo and its files as an email attachment.
(For comments -- that are highly appreciated -- please email me
privately!)

Best wishes to all, and again many thanks to the FB developers,

Herbie
