Computer terms get my motor runnin'. I found out today that you can use an NSData object as a wrapper for any C byte buffer, and I also made closer strides to understanding the NSTask architechture, where you can run another program from within your application. The question is, do I use NSTask, or re-write to cut out "main(argc, argv)" entirely and use the NSData wrapper around both the .txt and .pdb file buffers? And as for parsing the Users file to get at the appropriate folder names... the mind boggles. It depends on whether I go straight MVC or document based, I guess.

Wait a minute... didn't you major in Performing Arts?
