BeOpen
======

Release 1.0 - Dec 04 1996
-------------------------


Put the BeOpen executable in your dock. If you drag'n'drop
files onto the BeOpen icon that have the following extensions:

  	.gz		.Z		.tar.Z		.tar.gz
 	.tar	.shar	.uu			.sit
	.zip	.cpt	.bin

(note: the .cpt .bin and .sit handling has barely been tested)

BeOpen will uncompress/expand/whatever the file into a newly
created directory in /tmp and tell the browser to open a
window containing that folder. Note that the original file
is left unmodified.

If BeOpen doesn't know how to process an extension, it doesn't
do anything.

You can also call BeOpen from the command-line.

The BeOpenUtils folder must be kept in the same folder as BeOpen.
It contains two new decompressors: unzip and macunpack. It also
contains the shell script which decides how to process files.

I've included the minimal source code. I don't have access to 
a BeBox anymore so I hope that, if useful, someone will keep
BeOpen current with the next OS releases.

Enjoy,
