You can change the view of the icons to big or small. It's like a shortcut area which refers to actual folders. So, instead of the Folder List, which shows every folder accessible, the Outlook Bar only has shortcuts to the ones you want to see. Cheers Sikosis

The vistors to the site read the article, and 1.2 million of them were interested enough to investigate a little further. I bet the release of R1 will get slashdotted. > > Selling bootable OBOS R1 install CDs might be an interesting way > > for > > you to make some money as an organisation.

If so, could someone please publish them somewhere. CU, Ingo

Re: Compilers
I thought the GPL said you have to make the source available if you change it. And you don't need to distribute the source you just have to have it upon request, which means you can charge for it via cd, you can have it on FTP, web download or even in paper flyers. But it is not required in the distribution, though that is the easiest way to satisfy the GPL. Ingo Weinhold wrote: >On 2003-10-04 at 15:03:11 [+0200], Alexander G. M.
