Help! Accidentally deleted vital system files!

Alright... I did about one of the dumbest things you can do... go around the Library folder as root. Anyway, I accidentally removed a vital piece of the system software, and now none of my Carbon apps will launch... Cocoa ones work, and even classic apps work, but my Carbon ones won't run... so if someone (running 10.1.4) would be kind enough to do a file transfer with me, and send me this folder and it's contents, I would be eternally grateful...

/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A

Yes, so if someone could send that "A" folder to my AIM screen-name (AdamByte), that would be nice. Thank you for your support.

(Why am I asking this, you may wonder? Well, because I've already hacked my system with a Greek language patch, Mac OS X 10.1 refuses to reinstall over a "different language")


THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I would do it but I just reinstalled my system and I'm now waiting since 8 hours for apple to get their Update Server up and running. So scream with me:

APPLE! GET YOUR %$"%$§ UPDATE SERVERS UP!!!

OOPSIE....

I suppose that's why Apple intentionally "hides" the UNIX layer.

I'd like to help you... but,
1) AIM keeps locking up on me when I login,
and
2) I can't seem to find a Frameworks sub folder in /Library

I was going to upload the A folder to my ftp site so you can get it... but like I said I can't find it... I'll keep looking - and if you find it elsewhere let me know so I can find it and get it to you.

There is none in /Library, but there is one in Home/Library, but there is nothing in mine (is that normal?) The one he's looking for is System/Library/...

In A there are 3 folders (Frameworks, Resources, and Support) and one file (Carbon)

Are any of these in there, if you had some it would be much easier to send you the specific part rather than the whole 25 Mb folder
