I am converting a program developed in Codewarrior to xCode. I have set
a number of break points to resolve a loss of functionality in the
xCode version of the program, these features work in the Codewarrior
version of the program.

I've inherited a bunch of install code for the Mac, which I'm now
responsible for maintaining, and I'm a Linux guy, not a Mac guy. The
postflight script refers to "$2", and I assume this would be a command
line argument that would have been passed into the script at install

Could someone please point me in the right direction? Here is my
problem. I have created a telnet server for a records management
system. To handle multi users, I made this server thread out each
connection. After threading the connection it threads out to handle the

I'm trying to have my application still execute when another is switched to.
I think this is a setting one puts into the SIZE resource via ResEdit or
Rez. My sample update a time display which I'd like to still run even when

I am working on OS 9 and I want to create cicn resource.
Does anybone know of a free utility that will convert Windows (.ico or .bmp)
icons
to a Mac cicn resource?

I have many NSStrings which contain individual words. I want to insert
these in an NSTextView and programmatically change color for each word.
As a simple example (I know this doesn't work!):
NSStrings   *redStr = @"red ", blueStr = @"blue ";

Hello everyone! :-D
Alright... it's been quite a long time since I want to program that old $20
thrift-store laptop with C++... It has System 7.5.3 and it's a PowerBook
520c. It has 25 MHz and 12 MB RAM.  Specifically, I want to use SDL on it...

Does anyone have a working sample of how to call Obj-C from Javascript?
I'm using Webkit to play Flash files (swf files embedded in a html
file), then Javascript to pass the FSCommands back to my code, but I've
been unable to get it to work.

What does the Mac OS X hacker of these days use for memory debugging?
The guys on other platforms have those marvelous tools like Purify,
Valgrind, and lots of others.
But is there any product that provides the features Spotlight did in

I've got a linux app that is compiled with a shell script.  
All of the source and headers are in one directory.  The script, a
level above the source/header directory basically compiles most of the
".c" files (they all get compiled, even if the resulting .o files

I set breakpoint at many function, but I found that Xcode only stop at
OpenDevice function and didn't wake AP up.
Problem is :
1. When I press Download button on AP(ImageCapture) , "download" will never

Ditto copies files with resources in them (e.g. classic applications),
but it's not clever about timestamps.
Is there anyway to get rsync to copy classic applications properly?
This especially seems to happen with files that "ls -l" reports as zero

Hi--
I'm trying to get a list, recursively, of all files and folders in a
selected Folder or Volume. Does anyone know a good snippet for Cocoa which
would do this?

I'm parsing/comparing/analysing many large (25Mb+) text files, and I'm
finding that - as expected - it's quicker to have them in memory as a
char* , than keep accessing them as files. At any one time I might have
200Mb in memory.

   I've tried everything I can think of, and I'm stumped.  I have a .icns
file, and I want it to be the icon for a bundle package I've created (an
Audio Unit component).  (I'll refer to the app as MyApp here.)  I've put
MyApp.icns into the folder MyApp/Contents/Resources.  And ...
