Guys, girls, etc. This whole "MacOS is based on BSD which has been looked at for years" discussion is actaully quite silly. Why? Because the majority of the code in MacOS X which would be abused is not going to be BSD based. A bug in cat? tar? sed? No. It'll be a bug in Mail.app, how it ties into the Helper app, possibly Finder.app and Applescript. It'll be some image overflow in Safari, via Khtml and Aqua's rendering engine. It'll be something that Is Very Not Going To Ever Have Been A Part of What You Call BSD. So, I call crapola on that argument, and invoke a Godwin-for-21st-century based on the above comment. Lets move on. Adrian -- Adrian Chadd I'm only a fanboy if <[email protected]> I emailed Wesley Crusher.
