I have seen and played with MacNosy and was very impressed with its abilities. I just don't understand the attitude behind the interface. I could just imagine Steve Jasik leaning over my shoulder and whispering into my ear, "Well, you see, I'm such to toooootally hotshot programmer that it's waaaaaaaay beneath my dignity to write user interfaces." I suppose it has more to do with economics than attitude. Nosy already has that particular market sewed up. If you want a Mac decompiler, there's only one option. Adding an interface probably wouldn't sell that many more copies. -------------------- Garth Snyder Sun Microsystems, mail drop 14-40 ARPA: garths@eng.sun.com 2550 Garcia Avenue ALSO: garth@boulder.colorado.edu Mountain View, CA 94043 --------------------
