Thanks very much for the info.  Sounds good!

One question though: why are you waiting 'til the final version to make it
available thru APDA?  I thought the point of APDA -- as opposed to Developers
Tool Express (or whatever it's called) -- was to make available Apple
development products in the early stage of their development, i.e. beta
releases.  Is E.T.O replacing APDA in this regard?  Not to complain, but it
seems that APDA members who don't have CD ROM drives should have similar access
to development tools as those who do.  Or no?

I know, I know, it'll probably only be a month's difference between beta and
final and thus no big deal, but I'm curious as to what future plans Apple has
wrt development tools, specifically wrt APDA and beta releases.
