So he asked the carpenter why he was throwing half of the nails away. The carpenter replied that the heads were on the wrong end. Improv is shipped on 1.44 Meg disks that are labeled HD (for high density). If you get a disk labeled with a CH, throw it away. :-) Learning IB - I am having some success with IB now, but it was a little painful. The NeXT Book isn't a bad place to start. It is for .9 of the OS, but it does help. A CC also gave me a copy of a book that is in progress. Unfortunately, I don't know if I can redistibute it at this time. I will try to find out. Posting to this group has also been very helpful. I don't always send a thank you to people who answer my questions, so I would just like to gloabally say thanks at this time. (Scott Hess goes out of his way to be helpful. Special thanks to Scott.) Andrew Zimmerman zimmer@calvin.stanford.edu
