Re: WO4: Can't get NSTimer to work

[mike@nexan.co.uk (Michael Llewellyn)]

Strange... I have just setup exactly the same timer (except lower
frequency), and it works fine. Are there any other problems with your
installation? Maybe it is something to do with
uninstalling/reinstalling from 3.51 to 4.0, I've noticed several
subject headings with that mentioned as a problem (although I think
mainly they are registry-type problems).

Presumably you have the aTimer variable as an instance var, and you
have the -revUp:(someType) someArg method implemented, and the timer
code is being called? Everything else in the app is standard?
