I'm looking at setting-up Xcode to work with a local Subversion
repository.  I've been digging through the docs I can find, but I'm
only seeing references for setting things up using HTTP, even for
local files.

Anyone still using ThinkC? Is a copy gathering dust somewhere?

I am localizing my application, and searching how to put/insert
CFString in PopUpButton.
Here is the snippet of the code.

I'm writing a shell script that needs to know if it's running on PPC or
Intel machine.
But  found no way of detecting the CPU through a shell script.

My Java program wants to use some classes from another package.  These
classes are in another directory whose name is the package name.  After
I put the directory above that one into Xcode's target's search path, I

Check it out, ^_^
