On my system I have two user accounts - a normal one, and one I use when I'm
VNCing into the machine (essentially the same but a plain background and
lower screen res).
Occasionally I'll want to muck about in Xcode from afar, so I'll duplicate a

I need to read motherboard serial number in my application. Is there
anyone who know how to do it?

I was trying to figure out the write permissions for a network mounted
directory on my Mac 10.5.8 with the following code, but it seems that
stat and access does not work on mapped directories, while they
reported correct permission for local files, they failed on mapped

I've got a matrix of buttons that are using graphic images. Essentially it's
a grid of microchips something like this:

In a CLI application, if argv[1] is a filename, it can be directly
passed to fopen(). But this doesn't work if the filename must be passed
to another CLI tool via system(). Everything's fine if the name does not
contain any special characters, but not if it contains spaces,

Does anyone know if there is a build of DDD that works on Aqua and
Quatz nativly.  I mean without needing X11.

I ran into some problems with compiling gc-7.1 on OS X 10.6.2:
The usual steps are ./configure; make; make install.
The make step produces the error:

A non-newsgroup friend of mine has a few old carbonized PPC apps
developed with the now long obsolete CodeWarrior 8.2. He wonders if
there are any companies or individual programmers specializing in
converting old CW PPC apps to XCode Intel-ready apps? He's not looking

First of all, I'm a newbie here (and to Macs) - so maybe
I'm asking in the wrong forum. Just let me know if this
is the case.
I'm running a program called "Function" on a Mac computer.

Well, it's probably a long shot but...
We currently keep CodeWarrior 9.0 running to deliver versions of our
software for users with older software. This has worked well on Mac OS
X.3 and tests were going well on X.4.

Did someone manage to use CodeWarrior on Leopard (PPC) and get the C++
debugger to work?
I have instelled CW on Leopard and it compiles fine but when I click
"debug" I can see in the process viewer app that "gdb-for-metrowerks"

I am using Rhapsody7.0 in C++ with Miscrosoft Visual Studio 9.0. I
wrote a simple "Hello World" project and while running the project I

I am new to code warrior. Could anyone please let me know why we need
to use a tab in the editor before we start writing the code? do we
really need it?

I'm an Apple IIgs fanatic that likes to use an emulator to continue
working on IIgs projects.
What I need is a way to connect the TCP/IP stack within the emulator
that I use to the host machine's TCP/IP stack.

I have a Mac B&W G3...

Thanks for the info - I was interested in iPad apps, but put off by the $99 just to download and look over the SDK.
A web app sounds better - you wouldn't have to write a different one for every smartphone.

What is the best way to install ImageMagick, using just the Snow Leopard
Perl install? I know simply running "install Image::Magick" from CPAN
will not work.

Is there a simple way switch between them hopefully from the Terminal,
so I can use 5.10.1 when using get_iplayer and 5.8.8 for other programs.
In a previous post, it was suggested that I create an
