I'v finally gotten Actor 3.0 and started to read user's manual. Now, after reading a couple of chapters in the beginning, I have two questions. 1. I would like to keep my own class files in my directory other than Actor's default directory while maintaining the *class hierarchy*. How can I achieve this ? It seems O.K. to keep *.IMA files in other directories. Am I right ? Please correct me if I am wrong. 2. I'v read in the manual I need *rc* (resource compiler) to prepare stand-alone window applications from Actor *.IMA file. How can I obtain this program ? (Of course, for free..) Thanks.. -- ----------------------------------------------- Dae-kyun Yoon dkyoon@usc.edu, ..usc!dkyoon

What you can do, however, is have several "class" directories under actor, and rename the one for your current project to be \classes and the others to b e\classes1, \classes2, etc. This is how I used to keep projects straight. Now, however, I've found that I just keep all files in one subdir because I share my classes across projects. I agree that it would be very useful to have a subdir with just the Actor distribution classes, and your own directory for new class files. (I hope someone from WW is listening). |> |> 2.

There are only 2 ways to obtain rc for free: 1) write it 2) steal it The normal way to obtain rc is to purchase the SDK. I THINK that the Whitewater group sells a product called "Actor Toolkit" which includes a resource compiler. -- Kevin Kleinfelter @ Dun and Bradstreet Software, Inc (404) 239-2347 {emory,gatech}!nanovx!msa3b!kevin Soon to become {emory,gatech}!nanovx!dbses0!kevin (But not yet!)
