Anyone interested in a Mozilla CCK might be interested in mozptch.
* mozptch is a utility for automatic customization, configuration and personalization of mozilla installations
* mozptch can help system administrators who have to administrate a lot of mozilla installations
* mozptch is not a end user utility
* mozptch runs under windows (i hope a linux version will come soon)
* mozptch works with a ini-style configuration file which holds the information how to configure mozilla
* mozptch can run interactive and non interactive
* mozptch GUI an logging files are in english or german (for translations you need only to edit a textfile)

How good is the Mozptch?
Have you tested it?
Performance?
Usage report?

I haven't tested it at all. I don't plan on making any Mozilla customizations, but when the new Netscape comes out, I'll see if I can make it work on Netscape.

I tried it out, it works ok, but the Netscape CCK was a lot easier to use.

So you announced/reported/advertised it without any testing? Have you seen people using it yourself?

How true are the claims you mentioned?

Shouldn't you make it abundantly clear that such features were quoted. Such as who said so, or where from?

I just tried mozptch, and now I really wish I hadn't. First it says that it could not find "H:\Program"
and the program shut itself down. When I opened Mozilla again, it prompted me to create a new
profile based on the one created by Netscape 4.x. "This is odd", I thought. I went to the Mozilla
profile manager, only to find that ALL my profiles for Mozilla and Netscape had been deleted!

The bloody thing has even wiped all the themes I had installed!

I therefore officially declare the program as evil . . . !

:evil: I am very displeased at this turn of events. :evil:

I am very pleased that we, SillyDog701, have people do the actual testing and share their results and experience.

Taking words from somewhere else and making it like his/her own words :arrow: plagiarism

SillyDog701 would like to inform all visitors, published documents may not be correct. Even from a very popular source, e.g. Mozilla.org, the documentation could be wrong/untrue.

Antony; just so I know for next time:
If I run into an application or add-on, that I have no reason to try, yet feel that the people here might want to try, I should not bother telling people here about it?

It may be safer, and keep one from reading unpleasant bedtime stories.
