Hi Uli, Many thanks for the ULMelodyQeuue I am sure it will help me as will the well written pages of usuals pitfalls when porting PC2Mac. Alsp thanks for your your soothing words on what learning routs I should take/choose. I am glad that you thinks the Aaron Hildegass¨s book is a good way to learn Cocoa-programming for the Mac OS X.
