Prompted by an email from a BRF user, asking what’s happened to the new version, I’m reporting that not too much has happened in the last few months. Life has got in the way of my Cocoa coding, and I also seem to be doing a lot of ‘on the side’ web work for friends in the ministry, my church, and family members, who all seem to need websites these days!

Not too much else to say at this point, other than I’m still thinking about the development of Bible Reader. Shame my thoughts can’t produce actual code…

zip it

Seeing as Bible Reader Free was started before OS X was much in use, I had been using Stuffit to compress all of the downloads. For some strange reason (call it habit) I continued this up until today. I’ve had a few people contact me to say they downloaded BRF but don’t know how to open the program. Seems the new generation of users don’t know what Stuffit is! And to be honest, why use a method of compression that requires a third-party expander when OS X is well furnished with its own built-in zip compression method?

So from now on, all downloads will be created as .zip files, which automatically expand when double-clicked. This will result in a folder containing all of the files necessary to run Bible Reader Free.
