Thanks for all of you're advice. First of all, apologies for the lack of detail in my post. Yes the app does run in the console and it has been written in C++. Will have a look at the InterfaceBuilder and ProjectBuilder docs and take it from there. Thanks again will

Hya, I have a small CLI app that I have written for my work. Is it possible using Apple's Developer Tools to make it launch and operate within a single Finder window? If so could somebody point me in the direction of some instructions. Thanks in advance will

Its alright. Found the solution. In case anybodies interested, press F10 and the menu options can be scrolled through in the minibuffer. will

Hi, Does anyone know how to access the menus in the version of GNU Emacs that ships with OS X? Can't seem to get it to work. Ta, Will

Hey, nobodies mentioned Python ;) Its an interpreted language so you don't need to compile sourcecode everytime you make a change (like with C++ or Realbasic). I'm learning to programme right now, and after trying out C++ for a while I realised that I had gotten in over my head. Transfered...

I think that XDarwin now includes hardware acceleration but only in rootless mode. Can't be positive so I would check out the XDarwin website. Apple's X11 is very well done. However I would like to see Apple include multiple desktop support. Have tried some other window managers and I think that...

I run Redhat 9.0 on an Intel box and Mac OS X on my iMac. Both are excellent. I agree with the other posts that Linux is better on PC hardware (I have used YDL in the past). You need to ask yourself why you want to run Linux on the Mac. The only reason I can see at present is where you have...

I thought about that too but I can find little documentation on how to get Darwin going. When you install it you end up in the root account. I tried to create a user account and failed. Plus how do you start the modem? However I cannot comment on the level of documentation provided by fink for...

I am aware of OpenDarwin but that is not quite what I was meaning. What I would be interested in is a distribution of Darwin that has applications, Window managers, etc all ready to install. Rather like Yellowdog Linux or FreeBSD etc. will

Does anyone know of any efforts to create a complete Darwin distro - something similar to the distros you get for Linux? All I can find is the base system on its own. Ta for the info will

Excellent if true. Plan to buy the new OS when it released later this year. That alone would make it a worthwhile buy. Ta for info Will

Compiling files as a.out all the time gets annoying. Try using the following, monkey.c -o newname Where "newname" is the title you want for the compiled file. You could also try typing "man gcc" in the terminal to get more info on this. Also, to prevent having to issue the full path (or...

I suppose that using windowmanagers other than Aqua-wm does not fit with Apple's user interface guidelines, so I can see where they are coming from on this. I would like to use XDarwin except that replacing X11 and installing XDarwin (along with sorting out Fink and various apps that I...

Thanks for the tips. The reason I wanted to hide the menubar was to get around the problem of Apple's X11 (when using wondow managers other than Aqua-wm) placing windows under the menubar. Very annoying - especially in some wondow managers that do not allow you to grab the window in places other...

I am using version 3 of the beta and the problem still there. Its not so bad with icewm because you can grab the window and pull it down but, in many other window managers, this problem makes them pretty much unusuable in my opinion. will

Hya, when I use a window manager other than Aqua-wm in Apples X11 all the windows that I invoke appear with their title bar under the Menubar on my desktop. Is there any way around this problem? Cheers, will

Hia, anyone know of a way of showing/hiding the menubar in the Finder? Back in the Classic Mac OS days there was a small freeware app that did this. Cheers will

Hi, curiosity is getting the better of me. I have a dialup internet connection and a firewall up and running. At present I get around 5 alerts per minute telling me that a remote host is portscanning me. I try to determine the host name using a little freeware app called IP Convert but it has...

Fantastic. Thanks rhg. By the way, where can I find more information like this? Could you recommend a good book or website to help me learn more about c++? will

Psync sounds like a good option. Thanks for the info. I would like to use Retrospect but my budget won't allow it. will
