Speaking of GUIDs and googling, it was exactly 10 years ago, June 97, that Microsoft (tries to) introduce ActiveX, which runs on GUIDs, for Mac; released for Windows a year earlier.
http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.13/13.06/ActiveXControlsforMac/index.html In June J version was 3.04, and it already featured OLE (ActiveX) support. It was an interesting year in general: the apogee of browser wars, Apple earlier flirting with BeOS and finally purchasing NeXT. Component architecture is in the mainstream and JavaBeans emerge. http://www.mactech.com/articles/mt_indices/Vol_13_Issues.html "3D controls" (gray chiseled UI) finally get picked up on Mac, a technology initially described for Mac as a MacApp module in "Working in the Third Dimension", Sep 93, still far behind other platforms. http://www.mactech.com/articles/develop/issue_15/103-114_Osborne_Thomas.html --- Zach Reiter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Nice googling! > > Try changing the search for libuuid at the top of guid.ijs to > > 3 : 0 '' > if.
