Sometimes, certainly - but not without a *very* good reason. "Because the Windows version looks like that" isn't a good reason. Newcomers to the platform should google "Word 6 fiasco" (including the quotes), and learn from Microsoft's mistakes. Basically, they tried to make Word 6 look and feel as close as possible to the Windows version, and the result was a disaster. sherm-- -- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
