[QUOTE="fibbi, post: 42842"] Hey everyone, I'm a linux person, and while I do love OSX (on my powerbook), there are a few apps from the old world that I still like to use (gaim being one of them). However, while I can make a shortcut to the /sw/bin/gaim binary in my applications folder and its smart enough to run itself in an X11 rather than a regular terminal, I'd like to be able to run that from the doc. The problem is that it won't let me drag it to the doc. I've tried with little success to copy Calculator.app to Gaim.app and then copy the gaim binary to Gaim.app/Contents/MacOS/Gaim and then editting the XML files to point to it, but I haven't been able to make it work. So, is there an easy way to get regular ole *nix binaries to run from the doc, or do I have to make a .app (and if so, can you reccomend a program to help me through the process)? Thanks, -fibbi [/QUOTE]
