yeah, ok, add that to Apple's list of 2.48937e+24 things to do. Seriously though, I think most would be happier with faster performance of current features. Apple's main priorities…

Uhm... Not exactly. Some stuff works, some stuff needs some work, and some stuff needs a lot of work. It's all to do with incompatibilities and niggles and stuff in OS X/Darwin. So…

As Angus stated, not exactly. Most well written CLI based software should compile with little to no modification. By well written, I mean written with portability in mind. It s…

Thanks guys, I suspected as much. In regards to the Star Office question, i'm sure it will be plastered everywhere we go when an osx binary is available. Take care..............

If you want to include gargle.h in a directory foo in the directory in which the c source file containing the #include directive, you'd want to use #include "foo/gargle.h" When y…

Yeah, but there are political reasons it's difficult for me to change the source. In "normal" (i.e., all other) compilers, the -I command line option inserts the specified director…

Java and Objective C are the preferred, and for that matter only languages for programming OSX at any level above the console. Given your familiarity with OO languages and C, I wh…

Oops! I completely forgot about Carbon. I guess it's pretty clear what my feelings towards the new API are now. I guess that adds C and C++ to the list of viable choices. I sti…

I think I've read about this over in the OS X Developer forum. Be sure to poke around there. I'm going to move this over to the Mac OS X Developer forum. Click through to find y…

Hmmm. Well that *should* work, but my mv (/bin/mv) only supports the -f -i switches. mkdir foo; mv foo bar -- that works. mkdir foo; vi foo/file.txt (enter text); mv foo bar -…

It's not just you. I too have run into this problem and didn't know what to think of it until now. I'm assuming it's caused by files that have resource forks since it worked when…

Ok, thanks. I'll try that out.

Either that or change the size of the stack limitation (ulimit stack, for example).

Ok, stupid question: How do you declare an array dynamically? Is it <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1"face="Geneva, Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre>&lt…

string* dictionary = new string[size]; did that not work? if you don't have to use a bare array (if this isn't homework or something), i'd suggest an stl container. std::vector o…

Yeah, I miss CricketGraph. If you need basic graphs, Excel v.X should be fine. I use Deltagraph (mostly for scientific data and EPS output) but have to boot into OS 9...

Excel for Mac OSX does a pretty full range of graphs these days including log scales and a whole bunch of curve fitting trendlines. I used to use Cricket Graph years ago. If you w…

man, what a flashback! I loved Cricket Graph. Sure, Excel can do it now, but I can't afford it! $450 my A$$.

Excel as it comes cannot graph the kind of stuff I need. It took 300 lines of VBA code to get it to graph the kind of logarithmic graphs I needed. But Cricket Graph could do it, …

I never really liked cricket graph. Try Igor Pro 4. In my opinion, this is and has been the best graphing program available for the past 5 years, and they have an OSX version.
