Re: improbably impossible randomness
Im usually preaching the love of the log file.
Actually its a "debug" file for Johan, so dont expect it to be TOO clear about what its telling you.
Even with that, I find it very interesting to read.

Re: improbably impossible randomness
well, I had something occur that has something like a 5% chance of happening. I just wanted to see what was going on in the background.
there's alot of greek to me, and I can't find everything I wanted to see; but it was helpful.

Re: improbably impossible randomness
Macs wrap up their applications in "packages" that are really folders, so yes, you've got it exactly right. The folder structure is highly controlled, so the OS knows exactly where to look for the actual executable (which you've found) and its other files. The easy way to see inside from the Finder is to right-click (or control-click on a one-button system) and choose "show package contents" from the pop-up menu.
Back in the old Dominions 2 days, you had to get in there to install maps and mods, but fortunately, now you don't have to.
There are a number of us Mac users on the forums if you have any other Mac-related questions.

5% is hardly "Improbably impossible"

Everything is deeply hidden on the mac.

This is because Macs ordinarily communicate via direct telepathy to the highly evolved brains of the vastly superior people who use them. Some biologists are now proposing that these godlike beings be officially designated as a new human species, homo sapien superior.
I wish i was good enough to own a Mac |
