I was thinking more from the point of view of Eloquent. If the install location is going to be in the /Library folder, Eloquent/MacSword would need to have this capability. If the global install location is going to be in /Users/shared, then it wouldn't be necessary. I'm working on the beginnings of an iPhone front-end (and hoping to leverage your work with the Eloquent wrapper), where everything is completely different. Each application is restricted to a Sandbox which only it has read/write access to. There is no access to data outside of that area except through specialized protocols (for contact information, GPS-like location information, etc). Disk I/O is restricted in this way so that no application may interfere with other application data. > > > Manfred > > > > > _______________________________________________ > sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org > http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel > Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page > _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
