One of the best things about the Mac platform is that developers typically care enough about their users to invest the time in making decisions on their behalf in order to improve the user experience. Windows developers, and Linux developers in particular, seem petrified of making decisions, instead opting to make everything configurable. I call this "Gentoo syndrome" because Gentoo is the Linux distro I think is most plagued by this problem. In other words, don't be afraid to decide. As a sysadmin, by not providing an Installer package, I can't incorporate your software into a NetInstall image. This means I won't install your software. Now that you have an Installer package, there's little reason to keep the AppleScript version around. Don't be afraid to make that decision. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
