Yes, that's the one.

My C++ class didn't cover file i/o, so someone will have to help you there. As for many choices, you might try a cases argument.

You might consider --------- #include<iostream> using namespace std; main() { int a = 1, b = 2, c = 3; char the_class; cout << "Welcome To My Experimental RPG!, choose a character class: "; cout << "1: Knight, 2: Wizard, or 3: Conjurer!"; cin >> the_class; if...

I'm really itching to give this a try. My first Unix OS was MacOS X, so so far I've only had some experience with Gnome. Reading the warning though, I'm really worried about getting water in my gas tank. That, and I'm sure compiling everything will take many days on my computer.

My main drive is Daedalus, my large drive where I've moved the users folders to is Icarus, and my swap drive is Odysseus. Daedalus used to be in two partitions Daedalus and Helios before I decided to try a fresh install of OS X back around Christmas. I'm thinking that when I eventually get a...

Better yet, try typing fink selfupdate-cvs which will get the latest package definitions for you, both updates and all new ones. I have debianutils 1.16 installed that way.

Actually, Jabber does have a bit of corporate backing. A lot of the server development is done by the company that runs Jabber.com. They make their money with that and selling company branded Jabber clients. It's really too bad that Apple picked AIM over Jabber. It would have really given it a...

Well there is, but unfortunately not enough people use it right now: Jabber. It is an open protocol and the server can have "transports" installed so that you can connect to AIM, ICQ, Yahoo!, and MSN through the server and you can then use any Jabber client. The server installs on MacOS X...

ICQ and AIM are in a state of semi-compatibility. That is, The less-featured protocol that AIM uses for its Java client and for third party clients is the same as for the latest ICQ protocol. They are at least similar enough that the Jabber transport is the same for ICQ and AIM. However, they...

The best that I've seen is a workaround from this thread (a good thing to try, and Youpi Key is a great thing to have anyway). I think this got away from Apple because they didn't add the command-` standard until 10.1, and that was "Go to folder...." since possibly even the Public Beta. They...

Yeah, but in the Terminal that, command-1,2,... switch windows, and command-`. In Terminal's case, it's more like a ton of commands do the same thing but the default still works. I mainly wish command-` worked in all apps, but it'd have to be specially added to the non-Cocoa apps.

Yeah, that's something to do with unicode. Check out http://homepage.mac.com/earthlingsoft and get UnicodeChecker. It's great for finding characters, such as Devanagri (since Apple still hasn't developed half of the text inputs they had in OS 9).

And don't forget apple-shift-` (that is, apple-~) to rotate through the windows in the opposite direction.

I'll second cocoAspell. It can be configured to filter HTML, TeX, URLs, and e-mail addresses, and also set suggest corrections based on if you are a fast typist and just type things in the wrong order, or if you are a bad speller. It is amazing.

I'm not doubting you on this, but for what programs is it not command-leftarrow to go to the beginning of the line and command-leftarrow to go to the beginning of the next word? I use and have only a pretty limited set of programs for writing anything (right now TeXShop, iTeXMac, mi, Word 98...
