Alex, Just so you and anyone who cares that our platform get fair treatment know. Turns out the Mac bigot was behaving badly again. GMP 4.2 doesn't compile on PPC macs either and he was blaming Apple's compilers. Turns out we figured out a fix involving PIC--it seems Linux PPCs have the sam

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can help me with an Appscript / iTunes utility I'm trying to write. Does anyone know how I add m4a files to my iTunes library using appscript? So far, I have a list of filenames, which I want to add to my library (which I've got a reference to). According to app('

Mark and Chris, thanks for your interest. Here's some in-depth info about my project. I've designed a desktop applet that displays custom artwork and interface elements, and incorporates a modified calendar control from the wxPython demo as a basis for its calendar grid implementation. Basicall
