Re: [Swarm-Support] Swarm on Leopard

[Bill Northcott]

I thought a bit more about this, and on reflection, I think it best to  
rename it (asMac or asGNU) and keep it in $(SWARMHOME)/bin where it  
belongs as an executable.

Even if it was used by accident, it is hardly a big deal.  All it can  
do is stop Objective-C protocols being prelinked with a small speed  
penalty.
