I suppose you haven't redeclared your ivars as "modern"-style properties (using `@property` syntax), huh? I'd recommend taking the time to do so. This will make ownership obvious (via the `strong`/`weak` keywords) and you'll get the appropriate retention by just assigning to the property. It'll also let you delete vast swaths of boilerplate accessor code (presuming your code base is of the vintage I'm guessing it is). b _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
