Hi, is there a VPN Daemon around that runs on MacOS X PB and works with Macs running PGP 7? Thanks Deeeep

It sounds like you want to use IPSec on MacOS X, combined with PGPNet on the older machines. I'm afraid I can't help you any more than that; I don't know how to get IPSec up and r…

When you want to install development applications in Java, you're often asked for the JDK_HOME because they look for the binaries (javac, ...) in the $JDK_HOME/bin directory and th…

I used Sherlock to search for them. I never found rt.jar (I think that's only needed for JRE when there's no full JDK?), but I found JPDA.jar. They're in the /System/Library/Fram…

More specifically, the Commands (bin) and Classes are in the following directory: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.2/

Has anyone found out how to mount dvd-ram disks under MacOSX PB? Mine mounts CD's fine, but not dvd-ram media (with or without the case, for type II's). Jim Potter

Hi! I'd like to create my own keyboard layout for Mac OS X. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? Is it just a KCHR moved over into the data fork? Or is something else g…

The files in /System/Library/Keyboards are files that came in from the NeXT side of the MacOS X equation. They used to be used by the Cocoa framework, but Apple is moving Cocoa to…

Hmmmm.... I tried taking my KCHR resource, using snoop 1.6 to move it into the data fork of the System.rsrc file (which was 0 bytes before I replaced it). However, it didn't make …

Well, I have it working again. It turns out that this file _does_ have data in it. On the Install CD, when viewed in MacOS 9, the file has 286 bytes. If I copy it from the CD *i…

Well, it gets weirder. On the terminal side, the file is 0bytes in size. However, which looked at with the inspector, there are 286 bytes of data. So where are they? I opened i…

Well, I tried putting it in to the resource fork of the System.rsrc file. However, this only made the Settings panel crash when I tried to view the keyboard menu tab.... Any othe…

Maybe you could just edit one of the existing keyboard layouts in System.rsrc to match the one you want to use. Not the prettiest way to do it, but it seems like it should work.

I've posted a solution to this problem over in the Usage forum... Ricky

To run JBuilder 3.5 Foundation on OS X, I did these steps: 1) I downloaded the PC version from Borland's site and installed it on a PC. Why on a PC? There's no installer for Mac ye…

Any reason not to download the Linux version? Its tar.gz'd so you should be able to tar -zxvf it and then go from there. I'll let you know if it works

I was able to make the Linux version of JBuilder 3.5 to work on Darwin with a little tweak of a couple of configuration files. I've encountered some negligible errors in the termi…

Kasanoba: I get to your iDrive just fine and when I try to download Jbuilder it gives me a "time out" and sends me back to the start. I have tried it eight times on three differen…

Well I got it to work, but i cannot for the life of me find the Serial Number and key on the website - i have registered and got my activation key but still cant find the serial/ke…

'Twould appear that the iDrive has reached it's download limit Bummer. Anybody else who's already downloaded it wanna post it somewhere? ------------------ Life is what happen…

You guys were right. I didn't know about the 150 MB per account download limit that iDrive imposes. That's a really stupid limitation. Anyway, I'll try to get iTools configured …

I get this exception whenever I try to run NetBeans. Forte hangs while trying to install at a window that says "extracting". The JDK on OS X is a bit flakey when compared to li…

I've managed to have NetBeans work, but it's unusable since the editor has problems probably with the font metrics... Forte installer does the same with me... extracting... and the…

Has anyone attempted to install the enterprise edition of java? Is there any info or docs on this. I'd be interested to see what ejb support there will be. WebObjects isn't and …
