The only -thing Apple HAS is the binary that is shipped. You cannot maintain, enhance -or change something you can't touch, and without source, you can't touch it. So what's MacNosy? Chopped liver? Of course you have enough source. Unless Apple doesn't want to (or can't because of contract reasons) look at it. Marc Kaufman (kaufman@Neon.stanford.edu)
