You need to re-post this question to a different list where it will be on-topic: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/apple-cdsa Also, from what I've read so far, prepare to be told that you're doing things wrong and that your application is a threat to national security. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
