Sorry. I forgot it.

If possible, stand-alone executable seems better.
I read OroborOSX source some month ago. But I didn't know MacOS API so
I couldn't understand it. But I felt it is implemented Aqua like skin.
Their site say new v0.9 have many new features. I will read it.
I want someone who is familiar with XDarwin to comment.


By the way, Greg Parker's xroot.c is very useful when I use rootless mode.
