Thanks everyone for your help.

@ Fef & MultiMacBox23,

Thanks for the advice, but I would REALLY rather run my games on my Mac partition. I have nothing against windows, and have a partition set up for Vista... but I tend to do other things in the background while I play wow, and it's just easier on the Mac partition. I have the folders copy/pasted back into my Application drive, but the extra 30GB of wasted space is (obviously) less than ideal.

And thanks for the code to make all 5 copies of the app in one simple shell. Now I don't have to fight with 4 different .sh files. The only part I need to figure out is what the Terminal code would look like to execute that code... or is it the same? I would think it needs to say "execute copy 1, execute copy 2, etc"... and not a simple "execute this one command" or do I have that wrong? Would it be as simple as just running the one shell, and that shell makes all 4 copies of the app?



@Indestructigal,

Thanks for the tip. I am 99.999% sure that the file is saved in RichText, so that is my problem. TextEditor would not allow me to save the file in .sh, I had to save it as .sh.rtf and then delete the .rtf... is there a better format to save the file in originally, something like .html or the like (if converting it doesn't work)?

I was only concerned about the launcher script because I have upgraded one of my accounts (my main) to battle.net, while the others are still standard blizzard accounts. Will that make any difference?



Lastly, to change the subject (slightly... but it's my thread, so here it goes)... where would I go to start learning how to code for the mac? I don't want to learn a bunch of coding that is going to be useless for me (read C#), so is it best to just pick up a book and start reading, or are there good programming classes that I could take? I am not near Cuppertino, but I am in California (if that helps).

Thanks again guys (and gals?). I will be giving this code another try tonight after I get home from the beach. AHHH the life of a SoCal resident is SOOO rough. lawl
