You can do this easily within the Finder now. Jaguar will make it easier to change owners and 'unlock' things you've messed up the permissions of, as shown in BatChmod. good luck! mithras [ 07-02-2002: Message edited by: Mithras ]

Well, the poor Photoshopping may have been a disservice, but it was very generous of Peter Milburn of Calgary, Alberta to give us a complete list of his business ventures and their clients: 1. Spectrum Direct Sales (not much info on this one) …

Are you offering to help out the platform by writing one, Zo? I imagine that the Office Macro viruses can still infect you in Office v.X, but since Microsoft wisened up to the concept of security, those have come under control. I remember, when w…

Well, we sure discouraged poor Omni from ever posting again. Come back, Omni. You happened to hit a raw nerve, but this is actually a fun, supportive community. Don't give up on us!

Just a quick addendum: if you have BBEdit 6.5, you can use that instead of the Terminal to edit the file. If you're new to OS X and the Terminal you might prefer that. You can't just use Textedit, because you need to be able to authenticate as an…

First of all, Apache is the *web server* that comes with OS X. FTP is a different sack of potatoes. The FTP server is named wu-ftp. To do what you want, you need a configuration known as 'chroot', for 'change root'. The idea is that you present a…

As far as I remember, that's always been how Classic Mac OS worked. The Desktop Folder in classic Mac OS is just on the root of the hard disk. Moreover, the 'desktop' shows the contents of the Desktop Folder on *all* attached disks. That's why…

Very nice, thank you. Finally, the months-long embargo of information is lifted. The antialiasing in Carbon apps looks great. Any sign of Services, translucent Sheets, or Drawers in any Carbon apps? I guess you've toured through System Prefs a…
