Richard, Apple provides developers with preview releases of Mac OS X and XCode. That's sufficient to make sure that RAD tools like LiveCode are up-to-date the day that the next OSX or XCode is released.
Anyway, the point is not to discuss with you whether something is possible or not. The point is that I am worried and I'd like RunRev (not you) to take my worries away, if they want me to upgrade more frequently. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Use Color Converter to convert CMYK, RGB, RAL, XYZ, H.Lab and other colour spaces. http://www.color-converter.com On 9 okt 2012, at 16:38, Richard Gaskin wrote: > Mark Schonewille wrote: > > > This worries me.
