Hi

I'm trying to learn xcode... But I don't like it as much as visual
studio, because there are a couple of things which are really not
logical I think...
1) For instance: When I debug using this "memory dump view", the numbers

In "myView" which is a custom view, drawRect is drawing a few objects at
100 pixels from the left edge of the view. When I click the mouse on one
of these objects the outline is displayed in a different colour but the
it's is being drawn 100 pixels from the left edge of the window ...

Is there someplace other than here that hosts an active forum or newsgroup

Does anyone know where I can lay hands on some good tutorials in the
use of Core Data?

Older OS X Macs had their partition map located in the very first
512-byte block on the disk drive.

I need to find start addresses of partitions, and size of partitions.

Just playing around with gprof and couldn't get it to produce any timing
info on 10.4.7 (on PPC). It does manage to provide correct function call
counts however.
The same program compiled and run on Solaris shows the timing info I was

Okay, am I nuts or is there something wonky with GetKeys and XCode?

Free Forth interpeter/compiler for OS X ?
Other than OpenFirmware one...

links, and runs just fine built in XCode and running on a Powerbook G4.
I make a new target for i386, compile it and link it.  As soon as I
launch it or try to debug it I get the following message "Sorry, a

Hello NG,
if I try to set an array of NSAttributeDescription and
NSRelationshipDescription with -setProperties I get following

I have an old chess program written using Cocoa and OpenMCL.  Because
OpenMCL still doesn't work on the new Intel Macs, I am forced to
rewrite my program in Objective-C.  The rewrite is mostly going fine,
but I have one very frustrating bug which I have no clue how to track

I am getting memory leak on the following statement.

I would like to access system images using Cocoa and it looks like I
should be able to do that through NSImage:imageNamed. Unfortunately I
can not find the names of the possible system images other than
NSAscendingSortIndicator & NSDescendingSortIndicator.
