Apple Script Installer
  The extension and the control panel can now be easily installed using an installer script.

### New in Macintosh package 3.3.2alpha1.1

- See the documentation for further details.

The server can now use the much faster hextile encoding as well as the 'raw' encoding. This may introduce some reliability problems - if so you can disable it using the Server Status Tool.

The server does not now run as a 'background only' application. It no longer generates its own menu and operates more like a conventional Mac application.

Release date: 2 October 1998
