Externals

[Dar Scott]

Yikes!  There is no V4.  I changed the 3 to a 4 to see if there was and it failed.  Then I blindly copied the URL and put it into the email.

My goof.

The tutorial you are using seems to be the same as the first of the two in the newsletter that I pointed to.  There is slight editing.

How far did you get?

I don't use XCode to launch the test stack, so I may have mis-guessed how far you are.  

Perhaps someone can explain that part, or you can do as I do and skip it and create a testing stack in the IDE.
