    Unhappy Deleted the terminal app (stupid newbie)

    I'm a long time UNIX guy, but new to OS X.

    I somehow managed to delete my terminal.app from /Applications/Utilities. I searched the drive for another copy but found nothing. I was able to locate sh, and tcsh in /bin but they appear as un-launchable documents in the GUI. I can't seem to extract another copy from the install cd, is there a way to get it back without reinstalling? Can someone send me one?

    I know it's dumb, and I feel like an idiot, but any help would be wonderful.

    Thank you,
    troussell@drummondco.com

    You can manually extract Terminal.app from your installer CD by using a handy freeware utility called Pacifist. You can get it here.
