I'm preparing a drag install. Is there a free and current option for adding a license agreement to a DMG? The link on the <http://developer.apple.com/sdk/index.html> page yields a 2003 resource file with a TMPL resource for ResEdit. As ResEdit is long dead, and I haven't touched Rez/DeRez in many years, this solution gives me the fantods. There's nothing in the obvious places in the ADC downloads. There are a few commercial solutions, but I'd really prefer to use free (beer, speech optional, sorry) solutions. If there's nothing, the commercial options look nice, and are not expensive, so I can live with that. Does anyone have a particular recommendation? - F _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

[Choices] A series of stupid questions

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com - Are there goodies other tha(n|t): defaults write com.apple.installer DebugChoiceAttrEngine -bool YES to play with Attributes? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev(a)lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.… - What's the purpose of the start_* attribute from a conceptual point of view? I mean if we consider that a choice state is dependent on the states of other choices, why would the start state not be ruled by the same rule as it is when the user selects or unselect a choice? - How should the Visible attribute be considered? From an Apple (pre OS X) point of view or from a NeXT point of view? The Apple point of view would be that depending on weather conditions, a choice can be made invisible dynamically. This was the case for Menus in the Menu Bar. The NeXT point of view is that everything should always be visible and if it's not appropriate in the context, then the choice should just be disabled.
