    palm os programming on my powerbook?

    POSE has a menu option to install new software. I can't remember exactly where or what it's called, it's been a while since I've used it. Nose around the menus until you see something likely. I guess the key question is, does the PRC run successfully on your PDA?!?

    palm os programming on my powerbook?

    A ".bin" file is a binary file. The extension is generally used to make sure IE downloads stuff right. (If you're using Safari, it's pretty smart about all file type issues.) An incomplete download would probably give Stuffit trouble. I'm not clear from your message....are you having trouble...

    palm os programming on my powerbook?

    Assuming you're using Mac OS X, you can get the free PRC-Tools (what everyone on Linux uses for Palm OS development) at http://sidewww.epfl.ch/~crivelli/prctools-osx/ Or you can buy CodeWarrior, which is very nice. I've used both and each has their merits. Free is hard to beat if you're just...

    help with gdb

    I'm using gdb for the first time. Can anyone tell me how to trap API calls using it? The documentation for the Quicktime Broadcaster API is atrocious and clearly wrong in several aspects. It's incomplete; hasn't been updated in two years; the people listed in the docs seem to have left apple...

    What's with the Network icon?

    Thanks for the tip, I'll grab NFS Manager. But why the hell can't we share our own volumes via NFS, and thus make the icon useful? Or why can't Samba shares and AFP shares show up under the Network icon, too? Seems like a massive oversight to me. 99% of all Mac users will never have a use for...

    What's with the Network icon?

    Okay, it's been a couple of years since I first saw it, but I'm finally wondering -- what the hell is the "network" icon, to the root level of a Finder browser window, for? I've never used it for anything. It never has ANYTHING of use under it. My friend, a first time Mac user, looked at it...

    The Jaguar Bugs Thread

    According to other sites I've read, you have to reset your password in the Accounts preference panel to get the password to be noticed by Samba. You also have to check the box that says "Can connect via windows file sharing" or something similar. Users don't default to be able to use windows...

    The Jaguar Bugs Thread

    Bugs I've found so far: - After install, weirdly, my user name was not in the list of login users. I can type my name in to log in. - Perhaps related, my home directory does not have a "/Sites/" directory for Apache files. All the other users do. - When lots is going on, the mouse...
