OSX was the reason I purchased my Ti Powerbook 2 years ago. It was the first Mac I purchased since I had a Mac II. The fact that Apple was putting out an OS based on Unix was too hard to resist! Over the last decade, I found more and more customer resistance against the Apple OS, because it did...

To accomplish what you are asking in MySQL requires the use of a programming language. PHP, Python, C, etc. You should look into FileMaker Pro. It is a great database that lets you create database solutions quickly. It is cross platform Mac/Win and relational. I have used Access and prefer...

Thanks for the info guys! I use VNC on my Win and Linux boxes and really like it. Can't wait to get it running on my Macs!

I have been wondering about VNC for Mac OSX. The client is great, but how do you install, or where do you get the VNC server for Mac OSX??

Depending on what application you are sending to, you may be able to use applescript. You will need to check the target apps' applescript dictionary to see if the part of the app you are interested in can be scripted. I have been doing research on Applescript for this purpose and I've found that...

Amazing, I was just logging on to ask this same sort of question. I'm also new to Mac programming (learning Carbon coming from a Windows 'C' background) and would like to know how to send a string (mimicking keyboard input) to a field in another application using Carbon. Also how do you...

Thanks for the reply. I have tried all the things you suggested. I also like the new Project Builder. But, the projects I'm working on are FileMaker Pro plugins and I don't think that I can convert these to Project Builder??

I use code Warrior 6 on both my Ti 400 laptop and my new 1.25 dual G4. On the dual G4, it takes about 1 minute to start compiling even a very simple program. The laptop starts right away. I'm a bit puzzled by this. I have applied all the Metrowerks updaters and it still takes forever to compile...

Right on! The original Kernighan & Ritchie book on C is a great tool. It can be a bit dry though. After going through "C for Dummies" volumes 1 & 2, it all made much more sense. My background is in PHP as well and making the jump to C (pointers, yuk!) would have been impossible using only...

Thanks for the responses guys. Keyboard Maestro looks like it might do the trick. I'll check into it.

Howdy All, I'm a programmer that has made the 'switch' and I must say that I really like my new dual G4 and 22" cinema display. Except for the fact that the HOME and END keys do not behave the same way they do on a Windows box. On Win they will go to the beginning or end of a line of text and...
