RE: Opening Files in OS X

2003-06-20 Thread Jim Biancolo
Thanks again Monte, I've done the reading, and I have a follow-up question, if you don't mind (or if anyone else has advice on this). My understanding is that Mac OSes use fileType to determine if a file "belongs" to an application. Furthermore, it seems that the OS prevents my app from openin

I haven't used it extensively yet, but so far 2.0 hasn't given me any problems under Windows except for when it initially tried to find a CD that wasn't there (and that went away on reboot). My lack of problems combined with not wanted to grab a new full install over my 56K dialup have kept me

I had this happen to me in Win2K.  I had just gotten through burning a CD, but had removed it.  I think that's what Rev was trying to find, because after I rebooted it went away.  Not sure if rebooting will work for you; I might just be lucky. Jim At 01:41 PM 6/4/2003 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wro

Hi folks, I've been hunting around for Shao Sean's POP3 library mentioned previously on this list to no avail. I did find his home page with his SMTP library and a note not to e-mail him directly, so I thought I'd try this list. Does anybody have an old copy they can share with me (assuming
