Sorry, of course I do. :)

Uhm, I fear thats exactly my problem, I do know that it exists, but I 
dont get the problem that lies in just getting it and compiling it 
under os x. :(

Has anybody of you tried this before? (I fear that my knowledge of 
unix and everything that lies under my neat graphical interface is 
far to small to conquer this task... _yet!_ ;)

Also another question: It seems that the gdl (right this time? <g>) 
has no flat file Adoptor, although this seems to be the most 
requested feature (on the os x mailing list). How much knowledge of 
the DBKit or EOF would it take to write one? Or has it already been 
done?

thx in advance
Martin
