Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test and without test, no install without force. Thoughts? List I should look at? Many thanks, Chris

You could also just change the name of your BBEdit application from "BBEdit 6.5" to "BBEdit". There's nothing magic about the app's file name, so this shouldn't break anything. It won't break *compiled* applescripts, since they store a reference to application, not the name of the app. As a general solution for not-yet-compiled applescripts, such as those embedded in Perl scripts, I'm not sure what to suggest, other than not including version info in application file names. :^) -- John Gruber | Daring Fireball: Mac Punditry and Curmudgeonry [EMAIL PROTECTED] |http://daringfireball.net
