Re: [Rubycocoa-talk] NSData.to_s returns some kind of hex dump, instead of the data!

[Sam R. <sro...@un...>]

Thanks for your very timely help!

Where can I find the ruby library files for 'osx/objc/cocoa' and
foundation? Are they implemented in C? I want to be able to browse the
src to get a better idea what is available, where
NSProprietarStringEncoding is defined, etc.

I installed the binary image, do I need the source to get these things?

Sam
