Abstract of INFO-MAC archived Text file 'per/tb/tidbits-279.etx' Uploaded 05/31/1995 29478 bytes TidBITS#279/29-May-95 ===================== The momentous news this week is that Frontier, previously an expensive scripting program that's in many ways better than AppleScript, is now free. Tonya passes on advice for those writing ReadMe files, Adam muses briefly about a good use for some of the PowerTalk technology, and we look briefly at the BBEdit 3.1.1 update. Finally, we have MailBITS about RAM Doubler, PC Setup 1.0.6, and the Communications Decency Act.

Apologies for any confusion our tardiness might have caused. [ACE] **Updated Updater** -- Last week Connectix released a maintenance fix for the RAM Doubler 1.5.2 update reported in TidBITS-278_. Although the fix is called Updater 1.5.2a, it's important to note the fix is for the Updater application rather than RAM Doubler itself. The current version of RAM Doubler remains at 1.5.2, and if you've updated to 1.5.2 successfully, you don't need this
