I don´t really see a problem here. X11 is X11.

You have not discovered the control click zip unzip thingie yet?
Apple calls it "archive".

Anyways, this is excellent! now you have Scala and X11 running fine!

.zip files are very common you should be able to unzip them from your graphical interface.

Also; if you ever have to use the terminal again and are bothered by all the slashes and typing again; You can go;
"cd app"

Then hit TAB and it should autocomplete "applications" for you. and so on.

This is very convenient for other commands as well. For example if you have some file called "My_program version1353.2345434.234 beta8 not for distribution.zip" then it might be more convenient to just go "unzip My" and hit TAB; it should automcomplete that as well.

Bash, despite the agressive name, is your friend. Also; it's cooler then what Windows has; Mac people should like that.
:¬p

(ok windows can auto complete as well)

That would be ssh for the easy stuff and then VNC, ARD or even TB2 for the windowing stuff. All OS X systems have a built in VNC server, as well as full ARD support. I can control my macs from the Linux, win2k and XP boxes as well as the other way around.

Because workstations now basically are free compared with what an Irix system would cost you back in the early 90s, a lot of applications have been developed that are intended for local use on the desktop. Most big DAWs are intended to be used as local apps. Logic Pro however comes with an unlimited network client app, which means that you can offload your main DAW tasks to network computers. Same thing with network 3D rendering to stills and movie files. You must consider what the apps are for. However, there are decent options for remote control.

Trivia: I have been told Apple is working on an extension of the X11 app. The feature list is very interesting.

The one good thing about Zip is that it's so common. that's why many people still use it; you can be sure the receiver can open it. It's not a particularly good way of archiving so as long as you aren't sending files to other people running some unknown system then I think it's very wise never to zip.

OK.

Four things:

1)A paradox: Finder smells of poo.
Bash [bæsj] means poo in Norwegian, but BASH isn't poo.

2)The Finder Archive command is not the same as the default gzip command, because command-line zipping doesn't necessarily take the resource fork of the file (you need to "ditto") to do this. The Archive command is an "enhancement" (read "return to the bad old days of OS 9") of gzip in the same way that MS Java is an "enhancement" of Sun's Java.

3)NSHosting was dropped in the implementation of Display PDF. Sad but true, this would have solved your issue mosc. "-NSXHost"

4)X11SDK is an example of the problem of filenames with TLAs!
