I tried MallocDebug to detect something about that, but it doesn't

Does anyone know or know where I can find the structure of the new
bplist safari History.plist? I would like to convert it to xml and then
possibly convert it back. I would also like to just read and write to

I've been trying to find documentation on some of the AppleScript
functionality that was added with Tiger (AppleScript 1.10 I believe).
In particular the AppleEvent used to communicate with an application

I've looked at OpenGL and understand the promise. However I
imagine that even OpenGL on Mac OSX must use calls to Core
Graphics routines of some sort.  One might think that DMA could
help to speed things up. This is true with double buffering

How do I check for a mouse event while in a loop? In Carbon I used

I have a Carbon application that was building and running fine under

    I've been using the Thread Viewer
(Developer->Applications->Performance Tools) to analyze the performance
of an applicaton.  The multithreaded app is running in XCode 2.1

I'm a newbie to programming of ANY KIND (I've done some HTML, but I
guess this is not 'true' programming) and I wanted to learn C/C++,
Java, or Python, but not sure where to start esp since I'm on a Mac (1G
PBG4 w/1G RAM). Again, I've just getting started and have heard that

I have a Mac application (a carbon based app, usable on OS9 and X),
it's been around for years. I usually distribute it as a SIT file. I
merely drag the application icon onto StuffIt Drop Stuff and end up
with my SIT file. I've had no complaints from users.

I decided I want to try learning C++, but so far it's not working out
so well....
I'm a total coding n00b (and a bit of a Mac novice as well), so I need
some help.  Here's my problem--
