Hi! I just got my (ugly old) NeXT. (I will get e free update to the '40 soon)

So, here are some (probably often asked) questions:

- How can I add some new Group-ID's to my System ??
  It seems, that it doesn't look after the groups and passwd files.
  (It uses the netinfo instead)

- Is an Optical Disk always mounted in the users home-directory, or is there
  a way to mount it somewhere else in the tree?

- How save are Optical Disks *really* ? I read a lot about dust-problems
  and data-loss on this net.

- Is there no Selector-Object Class in the IB like the one, that's used in the
  digital Librarian. (It seems to be a inherited ScrollView class)

That's it for now. Any advises are greatly appreciated.

BTW> Look out for a Multi-Player Action Game through Ethernet...
     (No rumours please, I'm still working on the concepts)


Matthew                           the NeXT question will follow soon :-)
