Subject: Sibling Rivalry 2.01 - Another "The Chooser Sux" Program
How often do you use the Chooser to connect to an AppleShare server
volume, and then realize that you need another volume on that same
server? Often if you mount one volume, you will want to mount the
related volumes at some time.
Enter Sibling Rivalry. After it is installed, you can Command-Click on
the Finder icon for an AppleShare server volume (not an alias) and a
popup menu will appear that lists the other volumes on that server
(it's "siblings"). If you select the name of a sibling from the menu,
Sibling Rivalry will automatically mount that volume on your computer.
Notes:
* Sibling Rivalry has no interface... it takes up no space on your
screen, since it only appears after you specifically invoke it.
* You can mount *every* sibling on a server by adding the Option
key to the Command-Click sequence, and selecting "All Volumes".
* Its FAT software (both 68K and PPC native).
* Requires System 7.0 or later and the Finder Scripting Extension.
FSE comes bundled with AppleScript 1.1, with System 7.5.x, or
standalone at:

US/Macintosh/System/Other_System/Finder_Scripting_Ext1.2.sea.hqx
Changes from 2.0 to 2.01:
* Fixed crashing bug under 7.5.3 and certain other 7.5.x systems.
* General code cleanup.
Sibling Rivalry is free to use and redistribute on any medium. Mail me
any comments or suggestions that occur to you.
