I would prefer that it exec() Warzone or terminate the launcher process once Warzone is up and running. The reason for this is that it would be possible to bundle both executables into one Mac OS X application bundle, and by having the launcher process no longer exist once Warzone is running you would only have one icon on the Dock, I believe. That would be the cleanest solution (as far as the end user sees) on the Mac. _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
