Hi. I just joined this list, just so I can ask the following question: The directions for building Xerces on a Mac system are optimized for people running Mac OS X systems. As someone who just has an old pre-X system, I can't build Xerces anymore. I was wondering if you can provide pre-built binaries for Macintosh systems. I guess we would need versions for Mach-O (Mac OS X only), Carbon (Mac OS X and pre-X), regular PPC (pre-X), and maybe regular and CFM 68K (old pre-X). I heard that there is a "bundle" format that is really a disguised directory and it can hold multiple platform versions and header files. Maybe the Mac experts could put all the Mac binaries together in that format.
On a related note, why are there such long filenames in Xerces? The Mac maximum filename length is 31 characters, giving a 27-char name, a period, and a three-letter extension. Summarizing a file should be possible within 27 characters (well, at least better than the 8-letter constraint the previous short-name holders had.) -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT mac DOT com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
