Description: command-line launcher for Mac OS X in the spirit of open

Long Description: Apple provides a simple command-line launching program called open with Mac OS X. It offers few options - launching applications by name or by path, launching TextEdit, or opening a number of applications, documents, folders, or URLs. With the exception of special support for TextEdit (open -a), launch does all this and more.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/launch
%  sudo port install launch  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching launch
--->  Verifying checksum for launch
--->  Extracting launch
--->  Configuring launch
--->  Building launch with target all

--->  Staging launch into destroot

--->  Installing launch

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using launch with these commands:

%  man launch
%  apropos launch
%  which launch
%  locate launch
