I'm not even sure "most" is true. A large number of Apple methods do not start with underscore. >I have never bothered doing this because for one reason BF_addObject >looks so ugly as a method name. Me neither. I've hit only a few conflicts over the years, in which case I rename. You can set the OBJC_PRINT_REPLACED_METHODS env var to help catch conflicts. Always a good idea with beta version of major OS releases. Cheers, -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
