Apple's Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), released Friday, includes in the
/Applications/AppleScript folder a utility named "Folder Actions Setup."
Apple's utility is similar in appearance and function to the Folder Action
Setup (FAS) tool that has been available under this name as shareware
worldwide on The AppleScript Sourcebook Web site since 1998. Apple's utility
runs only under Mac OS X, while FAS runs only under the classic Mac OS (Mac
OS 8.5 through Mac OS 9.2.2). In July 2003, I advised Apple informally that
I did not object to Apple's use of the name "Folder Actions Setup" in
connection with Apple's Mac OS X utility.
Folder actions are an important and useful Macintosh technology. I am
delighted that Apple has released its Folder Actions Setup utility, which
brings the ease of use exemplified by my Folder Action Setup (FAS) tool to
Mac OS X. For more information about Apple's Folder Actions Setup utility,
go to <
http://www.apple.com/applescript/folderactions/02.html>.
Apple's Folder Actions Setup utility is a product of Apple Computer, Inc.
for use under Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), and it has no association with me or
my Folder Action Setup (FAS) tool. I had no role in the development of
Apple's Folder Actions Setup utility. All inquiries regarding Apple's Folder
Actions Setup utility should be directed to Apple.
My Folder Action Setup (FAS) tool is a product that I developed in 1998 and
have made available continuously since then as shareware for use under the
classic Mac OS. All inquiries regarding my Folder Action Setup (FAS) tool
should be directed to me at <

tool for use under the classic Mac OS, go to
