Howard,
Thanks - I'm looking into your ( and Conrad's) suggestions. My app's
been off the App Store for a about a year ( I let my dev subscription
lapse ) so I was really trying to resurrect it and fix a few crashers.
I wish I'd have done it this was originally :) I can't believe it
even got approved with the serious bug in it.
The Xcode banter has been interesting as well - count me as one of the
folks who used ProjectBuilder/IB on NextStep and CodeWarrior & MPW on
the MacOS side. I still generally edit code in Vim, though. My
flamewars have involved those heathens using emacs :)
Thanks again!
Brooke
