There is a weak retain technique, and I use it in one of my frameworks. It was outlined by Ken Case of OmniGroup many years ago. See www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?WeakReferences. I anticipate that I may use __weak to replace this when my framework is used in a garbage collection environment. -- Bill Cheeseman - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quechee Software, Quechee, Vermont, USA www.quecheesoftware.com PreFab Software - www.prefabsoftware.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
