I like the looks of the bar. Would the bar be of fixed size, or would it change size? I for one prefer the fixed width approach.

Any developers out there? Maybe these idea should be turned into reality, whether Apple wants to act on them or not. Personally, I feel that Apple is thinking more about marketing and less about useability, so the only way to change this is by giving users alternatives and see what they choose...

Since StarOffice is now available in Open Source format, see website http://www.openoffice.org, it would be great to see any people who know Mac programming to help out in the porting effort.

Maybe Apple is selling some Apple branded sun-glasses on their website?

I must admit that I too favour Appleworks, for two reasons: - Cheaper - have you seen the price of MS-Office ? - Acceptable feature list - it does everything I need and doesn't take up more room than the OS ;) Though back to the topic, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some...

One thing that gets me with MacOS X is the use of the desktop, or rather the lack of it. I quite liked the way that everything you needed was available on the desktop, like the drives and wastebasket. Maybe someone will come up with a patch that will allow this functionality to come back?

Not having used MacOS X I am wondering how you would rate it for ease of use, especially for someone coming from MacOS 9. Are there any thing that confuse you? Any things that you prefer in previous versions of MacOS, or feel would make you move to another OS? Anwsers to these questions could...

One thing you guys might want to do is write up a small MacOSX.Readme and submit it to the maintainers of bash so they can include it in the next verion.

You are probably right about it running on BSD. The website for Bochs is http://www.bochs.com/ . Anyone who is daring enough and knows anything about software development might want to try getting it working on MacOS X. If anyone does get it working there are a whole bunch of people who would...

The truth is you shouldn't really need to use the command prompt for most things. The fact that I see a lot of people heading to the command prompt is either an indication that there are lot of people who want to become power users or that the OS is missing some crucial GUI based tools to do the...

Maybe getting the latest stable build at http://www.netbeans.org may make a difference? Netbeans.org is the home to the open-source development of Forte.

Can someone tell me whether it is possible to hide the dock in the same way as the task bar is hideable under Windows 9X - basically it stays hidden until you move your mouse to the bottom of the screen. What would also be nice is the ability to move the task bar's location - having used...

There is a project you might be interested in at: http://members.nbci.com/macbochs/. I should warn you that this is designed for the pre-X MacOS and the installation process might not be as user-friendly as some of the commerical solutions. It is open-source so the source-code is available and...

I don't have access to MacOS X, so I can only use my Unix experience to help out. When ever I get the error that you indicated on any other platform it is usually because the classpath is wrong, generally missing the current directory (.). Another problem may be that the case of the class is...

Try ln -s <path of original> <path of link> or alias x=gnutar Not using MacOS X, just my 10c worth of Unix experience

if MacOS X has the notion of system variables, or if there is a control panel that specifies the java classpath then you should add the period/full-stop '.' to the path. once done java forte_ce_1_0_2 should do the trick.

pterray: are you getting any error messages? Let me know what you are doing and I may be able to help you out. [Edited by ajmas on 09-28-2000 at 02:42 PM]

Is there any option to make a swap partition? A swap partition certainly offers better performance than a swap file - especially since the OS knows that there is reduced risk of fragmentation.

You can't it the debugging code is inserted at compile time and the only way to remove it is by recompiling the system. Since you don't have access to the source code this is not an option. You are going to have to wait for the final release for a fully optimized version - this why this is known...

Did you have to modify any of the source or did it build with what was there?
