I like "DTracer," because it fits in well with the rest of the Mac environment -- Chooser, Launcher, Installer, Finder -- and this makes it look like a first-class citizen in the Mac world. I agree with avoiding gratuitous renaming, but if a slight alteration helps support an existing design pattern, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ dtrace-discuss mailing list [email protected]
