Okay, i tried to mull through this the hardway, but i think the coming finals week has prematurely fired my brain. Thw NSBrowser docs made NO sense to me. All I want is a nice little "Open" menu item that would allow the user to select a file in the file heiarchy. WEll, I have the mneu item...

Most of the functions are pretty self explanitary. You go into interface builder, you say to urself, "I need a text box to put a number into." You drag and drop the text box and low and behold, the text NSTextField is selected in the classes tab! From there you scurry off to the NSTextField...

There are some nice docs on apple's developer page. They are kind of hard to find, but I usually do it by just searching for NSTextField or whatever. Here's the link: http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Java/AppKitTOC.html HTH, F-bacher

Do u get the same error when u do tar -xvf (for .tar's) and gunzip (for .gz's)? That always works for me. Stuffit for OSX kind of blows right now - have u updated to 6.0? That version might be better. Also, OpenUp is a pretty good decompression utility u can find on versiontracker.com...

Yeah, memory is allocated automatically, but what I think martinRyter really meant increased priority, although he didn't know it. Every app has a priority that determines which app gets more process cycles. The way to up an apps priority can be achieved through a nice little app called...

I've had the same problem (not being able to see the hardrive), but this is on one partition. I have OS9 on it with OSX installed on top of it. Unfortunately, when i boot into 9 and then when I try to install something (aka my printer drivers), I can't see my hardrive. Same thing happens when...

See above posts. F-bacher P.S. That means yes.

WEIRD! Hmmm.... I don't have a zip drive handy (nor OSX, as I home for Thanksgiving) so i can't test it out, but I'm guesing it has to do something with shaddy usb support under OSX. The files may have been corrupted during transfer. Just to see, try botting into OS9 at home and see if it'll...

It's on there, near the bottom. It's called MenuBoard. Here's the download link: http://reddragonsoft.bizland.com/menuboard.bin Enjoy! F-bacher

There is an app for OS9 that will let u access the menu; can't remember the name, but it's on chezmark.com Anyway, I'm sure there is a way to port that over to OSX, and if they don't do it, then that gives me one more fun thing to figure out :) F-bacher

First of all, Darwin is not a seperate OS; it IS the OS. OSXPB just has the GUI overlay that Darwin by itslef doesn't. The reason Darwin 1.21 was "released" was because Darwin developers had been using 1.0 for a while, and so apple released 1.21 to get them up to date. Why? Because PB used...

To heck with microsoft. They don't have a creative instinct in any of their products (except fpr thei roptical mouse, which was pretty cool). But they are good at one thing - stealing. As far as I can tell, almost everything that is so "innovative" about Windows came from either NeXT or...

probably don't have ur path set... u can find how to do that (I think) on darwinfo.org's faq, although my vague rememberence of the solution would be pico $Home/.cshc and then add path=[user/bin/ bin/ etc... ] They had a good explanation before. What u can do in the meantime, is use sherlock...

Oh, amd amusing enough, ur example of using cd doesn't work. I wish it did, that would be cool, but alas it gives me an error and then the program continues on its merry way (I added a loop to my main file so it keeps asking me to make more unix commands). Oh well. Of minor note, as is, ur...

Should have tried compilin ur code first :P Looks like output goes out of scope because u created it inside try... but then u call it outside of try. Bad java code, Bad. F-bacher

Has anyone heard anything about Netscape 6 being ported to OSX? I'd sort of like a mainstream alternative to IE (although icab and omniweb are pretty cool). I'm using it under OS9 as I type, and although it is suppose to have aton of bugs, nothing really bad and awedult sticks out at me. Just...

Hi, you may remember me from such posts as "I have no idea" and "I need to get a life instead of spending so much time messing around with OSX." Here's my new question: I found the nice unix tool, mkisofs, on versiontracker.com, for making iso images. I needed to move all the information...

This is a known bug with OSX PB. I believe if you log out and in again, ur preferences will be saved. If you can get to a terminal window, yes. You would then either su to root and just typ reboot, or you can use the top command to view all processes in real time and kill the ones that are...

Wait, you have an IP right? I mean, u have to use TCP/IP to set ur ethernet/modem settings, like are u connecting via DHCP, etc. Question: can u get to the internet on ur OSX machine? Then I'm 99.999999999% sure u have an ip. u can get it out of the netword control pan... i mean system...

Do NOT turn on telnet! That is an evil suggestion (sorry). When I was installing linux on my mac before OSX Beta, i accidentally went over my download limit for my university and had to explain myelf to the all powerful network guy. When i talked to him, he warned me about linux because 3-4...
