Have a look at the sparkle framework, for doing updates. I believe what it does is moves the app bundle to the trash then drops in the new app bundle. Just overwriting your app bundle while the app is running is likely to lead to trouble. -- Dave Carrigan d...@rudedog.org Seattle, WA, USA _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
