For me, I don't want GNUstep in the names of my programs because I am not connected to GNUstep and don't want to be. It is just a couple of libraries that I use to write my apps -- you wouldn't put "GTK+" in the name of your apps, would you? > I still wonder what "bundle" could mean... At its most basic, a "bundle" is a directory with a certain structure. An .app is a bundle, as are an .rtfd document and a .framework library. An app is a bundle that contains an application (complete with its resources, like images, property list files, text data used by the app, etc.). An RTFD is a compound-document bundle containing an RTF file and usually some image files. A Framework is a bundle containing a special shlib, headers, and resources (executables, images, etc.) In this case, CDDB.bundle is just your basic "loadable bundle", containing code and/or resources that can be loaded into an app using the NSBundle interface. This one provides code in the form of a class to query a cddb server. By the way, .prefs modules (used by Preferences, preferences.app in Debian and one of my apps) are bundles too. -- | Jeff Teunissen -=- Pres., Dusk To Dawn Computing -=- deek @ d2dc.net | GPG: 1024D/9840105A 7102 808A 7733 C2F3 097B 161B 9222 DAB8 9840 105A | Core developer, The QuakeForge Project http://www.quakeforge.net/ | Specializing in Debian GNU/Linux http://www.d2dc.net/~deek/
