Steee-VENNN! You gitcher britches down to the woodshed, we're gonna tan yer bee-hind 'til Grammaw c'n read th' Farmer's Almanac by it at night. OK, Martin, points taken very well. However, OSX wouldn't be worth much if it didn't have some kind of support for legit software protection. When I installed the beta for Mimic and took a look at what I took to be an application in ResEdit I was surprised to learn about the existence of application packages. Methinks there has to be something there that CL could use to their advantage to prevent piracy, or is CL (in your best guess) unsatisfied with whatever level of protection this affords? Also, didn't CL say in more than one place that they were trying to make this OS9 compatible as well (which might be hamstringing their options)?
