But enjoy >learning this stuff. :) The next version of MacOS will be based around the NeXT Mach kernel (always supposing Apple survives the next year without going bust). They've planted the Mac [78].* API on top, but are hoping developers will migrate to the new "Yellow Box" API. I guess that if they get it right & get developer support that it'll be a big step up for them. I don't see any sign that there'll be a command line interface to Mach however... All this stuff is ad nauseam on www.apple.com. You might try a little surfing to learn the gory details... 8-) Robin. -------------------------------------------------------- Robin Melville, Addiction & Forensic Information Service Nottingham Alcohol & Drug Team (Extn. 49178) Vox: +44 (0)115 952 9478 Fax: +44 (0)115 952 9421 Email: robmel@nadt.org.uk WWW: http://www.innotts.co.uk/nadt/ ---------------------------------------------------------
