All the recent discussion has motivated me to complete a minor overhaul of Shuck. Shuck 1.1 is now at ftp://err.ethz.ch/pub/neeri/MacPerl/Shuck_11.sit.bin Release Notes: The lookup menu item would display garbage when text was selected in a window [Juergen Christoffel]. Added AppleEvent [misc/mvis] to look up words in the index [John Blackburne]. To access this event from AppleScript, just write e.g. tell application "Shuck" to Show "$ARGV" Added subtle indicator while a search in a partially parsed file is in progress [Bart Lateur]. Substantially cut back on memory consumption. While the basic problem that Shuck crashes when memory runs out persists, it's now much harder to make Shuck run out of memory.
