I had the luck to talk with a seemingly knowledgeable person as far as Secret Aircraft is concerned, but alas in a rush. He told me about "Overview","Galileo" and "Looking Glass". Ahem.. he don't told me at all about these "programs" (?) in fact, he just mentioned the names when I asked if there were a lot of scret programs noawadays. Do these names ring a bell to other contributors ? Thanks.

Well... "Overview" doesn't ring a bell (sounds interesting though). "Looking Glass" is an old one. It is the code name for the airborne command post, one which was always flying during the cold war years. Their responsibility was to control US nuclear forces in the event that washington was taken out by a first strike. "Galileo" is a space probe on its way to Jupiter.

I've seen some difficulties occure when you use a different version of binhex or with different applications that do binhex... so if that's the case then try this... Use Compact Pro 1.33 and try to debinhex it... or Stuffit Lite if you have that... If you don't have those, or still have problems, then let me know and I'll try it again, but I'll not tie up the list with it, I'l email them directly. I think the problems have to do with the fact that they're custom icons and regular binhex 4.0 just can't handle them correctly... but the other two applications above do. If you want to give them a try, they're on sumex or umich or the other standard places... I think ftp.apple.com even has them. Thanks for the bandwidth... Rick ps I've got a few new cursors, too. B-58, X-1, X-15, Sputnik... I intend to put a package together, and send them out with the icons.

If you want to subscribe something other than the account the mail is coming from, such as a local redistribution list, then append that address to the "subscribe" command; for example, to subscribe "local-skunk-works": subscribe skunk-works-digest local-skunk-works@your.domain.net To unsubscribe, send mail to the same address, with the command: unsubscribe skunk-works-digest in the body. Administrative requests, problems, and other non-list mail can be sent to either "skunk-works-digest-owner@harbor.ecn.purdue.edu" or, if you don't like to type a lot, "prm@ecn.purdue.edu". A non-digest (direct mail) version of this list is also available; to subscribe to that instead, replace all instances of "skunk-works-digest" in the commands above with "skunk-works". Back issues are available for anonymous FTP from harbor.ecn.purdue.edu, in /pub/skunk-works/digest/vNN.nMMM (where "NN" is the volume number, and "MMM" is the issue number).
