No, the Apple menu was only managed by the Finder starting in System 7, and ending in Mac OS X. Try it yourself - quit the Finder. It is possible to replace the Finder on OS X and have relatively little break, but this assumes the Finder replacement is a real Mac app. Nautilus would not qualify - not to say it couldn't be adapted, but it doesn't know anything about app packages, for example. -- =Nicholas Riley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | <http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/njriley> Pablo Research Group, Department of Computer Science and Medical Scholars Program, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
