I am very excited about its prospects. Don't get your hopes up too much. It seems like a one-off hack for a customer (based on 5.1b1, not 5.2). I'm not convinced that Rosetta will be around much longer either. As long as it is, Apple has to cross-compile at least the set of libraries that were included in Leopard for PowerPC (new libraries don't need Rosetta compatibility). At some point they're going to get sick of that. I wouldn't be surprised if Snow Leopard was the last release to have Rosetta. -- Brian Mastenbrook brian-kh4umrmO1yM/[email protected] http://brian.mastenbrook.net/ _______________________________________________ info-mcl mailing list [email protected] http://clozure.com/mailman/listinfo/info-mcl
