Thanks for your help, guys.
Just checking that I got you right - I've not (afaik) used the Apple
developer tools before. How do I find out which version of Xcode I
have currently? Apple's website suggests that 2.0 comes free with
Tiger. Did I need to do anything special to install it? The latest
seems to be 2.4, but it is a 900M download! Too big for my home
connection, I fear. Also, I need to join ADC to get it - free, right?
Malcolm Wallace suggests getting the latest from darcs instead. If I
do this, I need to install all the ancillary tools first, right? That
sounded a bit painful.
