Ewen Wannop has released updates to his excellent SNAP NNTP client and Chewbagger low-level file editor applications for the Apple IIGS. Both releases are bug fixes, but a few welcome new features have been added.

ChewBagger:

  • Optionally display the ASCII field with the high bits cleared.
  • Compare two files for differences. The files are displayed in a ‘split’ window, and on opening, the first difference is found and selected. You can then work through the two files, finding further differences, and setting an ‘offset’ between the displays if necessary.

SNAP:

  • You can now optionally choose to read New messages first.

You can get these updates as well as all of Ewen’s fine programs from http://www.wannop.info/speccie/Site/Speccies_Home_Pages.html
