Hi all,


I have successfully setup a CVS pserver. I have successfully installed WinCVS, the jEdit CVS plugin and the vim CVS menu script. I have also installed cvsweb.

All works ok, from the...

If you refer to launching Aqua GUI apps from the shell on MacOSX, you need to use the 'open' command.

'How do you launch an OSX app in UNIX? ' is too generic a question, please focus. =)

chenly, I suppose you've used one of Fink's binary package installers. They are not very polished and I actually never use them.

MacOSX Aqua-based software will definitely not run on XDarwin.

As for X11 compiled stuff for OSX, check out: Fink net packages (http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/section.php/net)

As many have noted, plain handling of '/etc/*' files will be no use with MacOSX, as it uses NetInfo. BTW, as far as I know, NetInfo can be configured to run with LDAP, ActiveDirectory (gasp) and NIS....

Exactly. The filesystem is case-preserving and case-insensitive put the usual UNIX utils (including the shell) are not (and will never be).

MacOSX comes with 'tcsh' as default, but you can easily...
