Hi Chuck, thank you for your response. That¹s funny about your book; I have an order confirmation from Amazon, and they claim to be shipping it to me between March 1 & March 21 this year. If they bill me, I¹ll make sure you get a cut. :)
But regarding Xcode, do you think I¹m using the best approach, or is there a better way? Alternatively, do you think it would be a lot of pain to move a very large project from Xcode to Eclipse?
