I have an outlineview at the moment which is just a standard
outlineview, 4 nodes with a few children in each.  The children are

I have the following situation:

documentation.  I'm writing a Cocoa app that runs a local web server.
It has no main window, but may eventually have a preferences window.

I am currently working with some c++libraries, which only exist for
linux, and not for mac. This is why I would like to store and compile
the files on another computer, with linux installed, which can be

I need to write few functions, which I need to pass to a method in
Objective C class using the pointers to those functions. These
functions use the instance variable of the class. Hence they must have
access to the  variables.

My Xcode seems to have change I did have a unique window for each file
i opened in Xcode.  Now this has changed, how can I change this back or
is it some kind of bug ?

I updated Xcode, and now it always crashes when I try to start it, even

looks like this:

I want to add a ".h" file to my xcode project, but it is greyed out on
the file selector dialog.  FYI there is already a ".cpp" file of the
same name in the project.
Thanks

I have a Framework which is used as a DLL by several other projects.
In it's initialization routine, the Framework needs to know it's own
