You don't need to change the file extension, just a build setting. Change "Compile Sources As" from "According to file type" to "Objective C". Also, I've found that "@" as in @"String Constant" produces Bison confusion. I use a #define so that I can write AT"String Constant". Tim Larkin Abstrac

Custom cell wanted

Hi, I need a custom cell for a table/outline view that is exactly like Mail's 'unread' count - the grey lozenge with a number in it. It's probably only a few hours work but maybe someone has already done it and would be willing to share? --Graham___
