The controlled programs may run on the Mac under MacOS, on the Mac under some Unix or MS-DOS emulation, on a remote Unix-box, possibly on any computer you can connect to somehow. You don't notice where the program processing your files is actually running and interact with Unix-Droplet as you would do with any other Mac-application. A simple piping mechanism is supported: You can drop one application on another one which will then wait and expect its input coming from the first application. Unix-Droplet translates the user interaction (names of dropped files, options set in dialogs, etc) into a command which you would have to type into a console if you interact with the controlled program via text terminal. Unix-Droplet writes this command into a textfile, and then sends this file to the controlled process. Unix-Droplet should run on any Macintosh System >=7. It is free. Regards, H.
