Hey, I'll give it a look. When I was using MLCad, I wrote an
AppleScritpt that alowed me to open a ".dat" file in MLCad from the
Finder. Since the it wasn't a portable scrtipt (I have almost no idea
what I am doing when I write scripts, but I somehow seem to get some
written) I never bothered to put it up anywhere.
By the way, I understand the whole edu thing. This year I am teaching
Gen Chem, Organic Chem, and the Organic Chem lab. I still have plenty to
do before Wednesday, so back to work!
Thanks for the info,
Chris
