P.O.Box 1782 Gibsons, Canada V0N 1V0 Hiroshi Shimase Version History  Ver 1.0.2 (E)  Mar. 13 '99 First Release version of DesktopJanitor for English system.             Are you interested in AppleScript or RealBasic? If you're interested in AppleScript or RealBasic, I believe DesktopJanitor is one of good sample. RealBasic is nice tool for rapid interface generation (also object? oriented) which AppleScript lacks. AppleScript - RealBasic combination is something to look at because they make up for each other. Feel free to contact me for programming discussion. I also have been spending many years on "Object - oriented world", I still believe Smalltalk is the best language form the view of rapid development (RealBasic is nice but not best due to its incomplete treatment for Object). See sample codes... Contact Information If you have any comment, feel free to e-mail me. I could modify this utility and fix bug(s) as per your request.
