Do not put the period in-- just the letters of your extension Outside of IB: - make install -- this will compile, strip and install your app in ~/Apps/ - log out and log back in; Workspace should recognize your files now... b.bum b.bumgarner | Disclaimer: All opinions expressed are my own. wb1j+@andrew.cmu.edu | I officially don't represent anyone unless I NeXT Campus Consultant | explicity say I am doing so.
