Yes. This is OK. However, use "chmod -Rf root:admin *" to also chmod any subdirectories that might get created.

What I was suggesting is that you use my script code to eliminate the "select application" dialog. With the scripts, you know where all of the Neo/J installations are and you can just invoke the tar command in each.

No problem.

Ah! got it. Are you sure we should force install help in every NeoJ install?
Wouldn't harm but is a bit "authoritative", isn't it?
Comment, from a user point anyone?

You could display an alert dialog with the Neo/J patch and OK/Cancel buttons to allow the user to cancel the install.

|
I just uploaded here an updated version of the script.
I modified it to include Patrick suggestions. This save a selection dialog since NeoJ install are searched in known places.
I added a confirmation dialog to ensure that the modified application is the targeted one.
This dialog thus add a new message to the "dictionnary" which need translation (ovvldc, if you read this...).
I'll mail modified dowload pages to Patrick latter tonight.

Dutch: messinstall:"Installeer het helpbestand in de NeoOffice/J 1.1 applicatie op volume: "
German: messinstall:"Führ die Hilfefile ein in das NeoOffice/J Anwendungsprogramm in Datenträger: "
Spanish: messinstall:"Instala el archivo de ayuda en la aplicación NeoOffice/J en disco: "
And once again, no guarantees. They'll get it, but I doubt if it is perfect Spanish or German..

ovvldc,
I can double-check the Spanish for you when I put Max's code in the Neo/J cvs repository. I am weak on Spanish idiomatic phrases (my Spanish sounds uncomfortably formal when I talk) but I am pretty good with verb conjugations. BTW, "elegir" is one of those verbs where the vowels change when conjugated e.g. "Ella eliga que ...".

Hi Patrick,
Thanks. My Spanish is very informal. I learnt it by doing my MSc research in Ecuador (AFAIK 'tal vez' for 'maybe' is very colloquial Latin American). And I haven't had enough practice. Any German speakers here are free to comment on my attempt at the German translation  .
Good luck,
Oscar

|
Patrick and I have exchanged several private mails to come up with a version of the script running successfully on both Jaguar and Panther.
Shell scripts and commands are stable between the two but AppleScript is not. Many features and functions available in Panther are absent or buggy in Jaguar.
Also zip file made by the finder under Panther include resource and HFS file info, but are not correctly unzipped under Jaguar. So we choose to use .sit or .dmg format.
If someone wants to use this script before Patrick make it available from the download page, it is there, in a sit archive.
Notice Patrick suggested a more explicit name : NeoOfficeJ_1-1_Help_Installer.
