Odds & Ends: Replacing app in use; Canon printers; success compiling UNIX source

Replacing an application in use In a follow-up to our previous item on missing pieces of Mac OS X (replacing existing files does not show the older versus newer version), Marc Verhoeven notes that its much worse to attempt to overwrite application that is in use. He writes: "If you try to replace an application that's in use: you will only replace parts of the package, rendering the original application unusable."

Canon printers and Mac OS X Canon has posted an informative web page regarding their line of printers and future compatibility with OS X. (Thanks, Marc Tucker.)

Success with compiling UNIX source game for Mac OS X Jonathan Greenberg writes: "With both Tenon XTools 1.0.2 and the Developer CD already installed, I was able to quickly install Netrek from the source code. This is a goofy little X-Windows networkable game, but the point of the attempt was to see if a graphical, network-oriented program could be run with Aqua. It did!"
