Is anybody aware of any os X native disassemblers? Preferably something
free, but I suppose if there's none of that nature I'd still be
interested in knowing about any commercial options.
I'm aware of the generate assembly code option in XCode, and I've used

In Codewarrior C++ compiler, in-place quoted text like,
 foo("This here text.");      // Example
is treated like this is a function call of the type
 foo(char *)

On Panther, I can link with Tcl.framework to access Tcl_GetErrno and
related routines.  On Panther, that framework does not seem to exist,
yet the routines are in jag's man pages and .h files for the tcl
routines exist.

I am learning Xcode (coming over from Codewarrior).  I mostly do
numerical C++ code with very little or no GUI stuff.  Carbon apps,
tools, and static libraries.
So far I have not figured out how to tell Xcode what paths to search for

What's the equivalent to PowerPlant's AdjustMouse in PPx? The TextEditor
example code doesn't even change the cursor to I beam when the mouse is
over the edit text box. Does that mean PPx SystemViews don't have
default mouse cursor behavior? Do I have to create and maintain mouse ...

Anyone know where I might find an icon designer for a shareware
application?  Where do these people hang out? :)  All I could pay in
exchange is a free copy of the app.
Thanks!

I found the nice ASCIIMoviePlayerSample code for playing QT video
track to an offscreen GWorld.  Is there a similar way to get the audio
track to play to an offscreen buffer?  Ideally, I'd like to get it in
50 msec chunks of PCM data, handed to me at the playout time.  I could

In my painful struggle to get simple, vanilla C and C++ running to learn
Xcode I am going nuts trying to build a (VERY) simple library  and link
it into a main.c build.  I build the library as a dynamic carbon lib and
that goes ok (so it seems, I'm new to this).  Then when I try ...

I have been looking for code for decompressing .zip files, and have
spent some time on the zlib home page.  Their FAQ seems to indicate
that the contrib/minizip module of the zlib distribution contains such
code.  However, it doesn't seem to be included in the zlib that is

SMB?

Hi, I have a strange problem with XCode Developer Documentation. The
TOC frame width is just 30-40 pixels and I'm unable to resize it.  Is
there any way to increase its width?
Thanks.

I'm porting C++ mostly numerical (number-crunching) code form
CodeWarrior -- no Mac API stuff, yet, maybe later.  I am struggling
getting my libraries up and running.  I've got the code to run in a test
program when I just put the code for the whole library in along with the

Hey all,
First quick note about my predicament, I'm a Unic/PC sys admin who has
been tasked with creating a Mac test machine that will boot into
multiple OS's.
