It's disappeared

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Moo has suffered a fate similar to XOptimize's, the app it copied: it's no longer available on Versiontracker, and not from many web pages that link to it--their links are dead. Don't know where to find it. However, other current utils like Cocktail, etc. do prebinding. XOptimize, if you were curious to take a look at it, I found buried at http://www.codefab.com/unsupported/, where for some reason it's referred to as both version 0.1 and 0.42. You'll find other web references to a 1.0 version, and even a 1.0.1 version--even Bill Bumgarner, its author, refers to a 1.0 version--but the last version was 0.1, as shown in its About window, and by doing a Get Info on it from the Finder.

It's disappeared - bbum

Xoptimize disappeared because the app is-- and always has been-- useless for anyone but developers that wanted to learn how to run an external command and parse the output.

Prebinding never needed to be updated, even in Jaguar. That people did so on a regular basis and claimed miraculous improvements in their lives was purely psychological.
