Puzzling. svn co https://mactrek.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mactrek/trunk mactrek That didn't pull the 1.4.0 code base for you? But I also see Resources/PRECOMPILED/INTEL and what looks like all the server stuff there, pretty tired right now, but I'll look to see if the xcode project compiles that. Seem odd that precompiled binaries come down with a svn checkout. -- Bob Tanner <basic at us.netrek.org> Key fingerprint = F785 DDFC CF94 7CE8 AA87 3A9D 3895 26F1 0DDB E378
