Also be sure to check out Packager...a handy way to build Installer packages...and Touch, a nifty ftp front end. If anyone is curious about seeing what's on the list, I edited the ls-lR listing from 1M down to 300k so that you can see what's on the disk without going old in the process. I'm happy to e-mail it to any interested parties. It ought to show up on sonata eventually, too. (What did I edit out? .lproj, .app, .nib, and help directories; basically stuff that isn't particularly interesting, and READMEs, which are everywhere.) Later, -Don Yacktman alaska.et.byu.edu
