Re: bc convert osx command line hell (at least for me it is)

2009-04-26 by lazichi

thank you so much .

now I have the BcrTool and the explantion seems like something I could understand and do but...

I launched the bcrtool.py with the python launcher but when I try to use any command I get Permission denied message.

I do have the read write permissions for the folder and everything else as I am logged in as and administrator.

Can you help.

Thanx
