Why not just buy a book on using the shell? For example Linux Pocket Guide -essential commands, though there are many others (I got mine free with a magazine!) Roy

Thanks for that, it was as I thought. Will write the code in C++ with GCC and test against the data supplied then worry about the glitzy interface as step 2. This seems possible reading the introductory stuff on the Apple developer site. Cheers Roy

Hello, I know the answer to this question really, but I want to ask it just in case.... I have agreed to develop an application to run on an Apple Mac (I owe this guy a big big favour). I do not own an Apple Mac. I have been reading the introductory stuff on the Apple Developer web site and see that the core of the OS is BSD. However the GUI is something else on top and proprietary. It seems to me that my cheapest option is to buy a mini mac and get on with it BUT I don't suppose there is any ho...
