Dear newLISP developers,



Could you please (pretty please) sign the code you produce for OS X (10.5) ??  It's rather annoying to constantly have to answer the "Do you want to allow bla bla bla" prompt?



Notes on how to sign code are located at:

Cheers !

Hi,



You want this because you find the notification annoying?



You could run newlisp as a different user, because doing a pre-signing

on binary's is not securer at all..



Its doesnt matter how you run the binary, If its a fake its a fake,

and then the signature is accepted anyway...



Or compile the code yourself and create a signature yourself, but

be sure your C library's are clean.. ;-)



But thats my oppinion.. Im sure others have different idea's on this topic..



Grt, Norman.

What prompt, for running/launching what? Can you post a screenshot?
Get your Objective newLISP groove on.

Perhaps this is the "Do you want to allow the application ... to accept incoming  connections?" prompt, that comes up if the application firewall is used? (Guessing that 10.5 is when the new firewall system came into effect?
