Even if it didn't exist in Cocoa, it isn't an incompatible change where we would solve a particular problem in an incompatible way - we'd simply extend the basic concept to be more intelligent and behave more as people would expect it - to be able to use attributed and nonattributed strings interchangeably in controls. The only difference for an app programmer would be: "this one's a plain string and this one's a fancy string". I've attached a patch to NSCell.m (diff'ed against the latest CVS version) which should do it. Regards Saso
