Thanks. Yeah, I'm sure there are newer ones - I just didn't spend the time to find them since I found what I was looking for in some really old commented-out code.

Sheesh. So Apple has been telling us for years to "go Cocoa!" and "go 64-bit!", then they go and give us half-baked systems that are nowhere near close to being replacements for what we had before. Seems like Apple should take their own advice. Yeah, I know they probably can't just rewrite everything all at once, but damn if it isn't annoying to us little folk when they do all this modernization and seemingly waste half their time renaming things (.Mac -> MobileMe -> iCloud) and then don't do the low level stuff. Sorry, I just need to vent once in a while. Still, could be worse - could be Microsoft.
