Subject: DA Piggyback 1.2; converts DAs into apps
DA Piggyback lets you turn desk accessories into stand-alone applications.
Since a converted DA will have its own application heap, you can adjust
their individual heap setting using Get Info... as you do for applications.
You can launch your DA/Application in two different ways. Simply double
clicking will run the DA in the very same manner as it ran under the Apple
Menu. If the desk accesory has an item called "Open" in its menus, a second
form of launch will allow you to open files from the finder whether the DA
is presently open or not. This method varies between System 6 and System 7:
System 6 users should select the document icon along with the
DA/Application (using the shift key with the mouse to select multiple
icons). Double-clicking on either icon will then open the desk accessory
along with the selected document.
Under System 7, the document icon should be dragged on top of
DA/Application icon. When the mouse is released, the desk accessory will
open the selected document.
To use DA Piggyback, you must first copy a desk accessory into the DA
Piggyback application with Font/DA mover (press Option while opening the DA
and DA Piggyback). Rename DA Piggyback as you like.
