But it is used to create useful tools, like what I mentioned with MacOSX-File, for which you don't need to use perl directly. You just need to install a perl distribution (I feel a hates software rant coming on ;-). >> And, of course, there are the included programs in the Developer Tools, >> GetFileInfo and SetFile (which the p[sg]etfinfo programs are modeled after). > >Guess I'll grovel around in there, do they call anything GCC isn't capable >of getting me into? They just call the standard Mac API, which is available to gcc, if that's what you mean. The code in both MacOSX-File and Mac-Carbon uses the same or similar calls in their .xs files, if you want some C source (I am not sure if GetFileInfo and SetFile have their source available). -- Chris Nandor pudge@xxxxx.xxx http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network pudge@xxxx.xxx http://osdn.com/There's stuff above here
