To do this, first type ls to show the folders within the base level of the drive, which for example might read Documents Applications.

The AOL version isnt carbonized, and 90 of the time its the only reason I have Classic open.

If anyone finds a version that is Carbonized or made in Cocoa or whatever else it takes to not need Classic, Id really appreciate a response.

I followed the instructions on the AOL IM Unix page and got the the final step of running AIM.

When I type it into the terminal window, I get: aim: Command not found.

And to add to it all, AOL doesnt even offer support, so youre SOL.

Sorry.

Terminal windows are case sensitive, so make sure its aim not AIM etc.

It works pretty well, but it doesnt give as much feedback as I like.

Once I figured out whether I was connected, I started chatting immediately.

I used it yesterday for AOL Instant Messenger and it worked fine.

Aol Aim Emulator Mac OS X At All

Thats for i386 type machines running Linux, not for Mac OS X at all In general, many command line applications designed to be portable among various UNIX or UNIX-like operating systems will easily port to Mac OS X.

Aol Aim Emulator Code To The

You have to have the source code to the application and recompile, possibily changing makefiles andor source code to get those applications to run.

Its not hard to do for many beginning programmers if the port is easy, but it certainly isnt for most end users.

Even if you had the source code to the Linux client, you then have another problem.

Anyways, right now, run AOLs Mac client inside of Classic or run Eric Peytons Fire.app.

Eric even distributes source code to Fire, so if there is something you dont like about, feel free to enhance it..Bill Chin.

For those of us familiar with UNIX, the transition is going to be easy, but for those not familiar with it, it is going to be harder.

I wonder how MAC OS X will go over with the MAC public when OS X is officially released with UNIX as the foundation of the OS For those of you who do not have these two books, I strongly recommend UNIX in a Nutshell by OReilly Associates and UNIX Power Tools.

Also, UNIX and LINUX are not the same thing, although they are close.

Most UNIXLinux source distributions can guess which computer you have when you run the standard.configure configure to build the program, but dont expect it to be perfect in all cases or to point, click, and install.

Sometimes it takes a little effort to get a program working in the UNIXLinux world.

Good luck. Daniel.

The BSD layer of Mac OS X PB is an optional install and it is my understanding that it will be like this for the final release.

If someone wants to use their computer to the maximum and be a hard core power user then I highly recommend learning the ways of UNIX and open source, but to say that one must learn this stuff in order to have an easy time with OS X is premature and not the intent of this new operating system.

The coolness about Mac OS X is that it can be used by hard core UNIX geeks and people that simply want a computer to surf the Web and do e-mail.

FOR NEWBIES: Just open the terminal, and cd to the folder where the downloaded file is.
