I'm thinking of installing a RealBasic demo package on my iBook. If I later want to trash the demo, do I just delete the folder it installs to...or what? I've been a PC guy for a long time, and I don't see an Add/Remove Programs app. (:>)

there should be an installer log either in
the application folder, or root level on
boot drive, or somewhere. It will tell you
what was installed where. Trash these.
Basically if you trash the specific
applications folder you will be OK

Thanks, fieraci! I'll look for the installer log.
I've read a few good reports on RealBasic, so it may turn out that I just leave it installed and buy a license. But I'm sure there'll be other apps I'll want to discard down the road, so thanks for the info.
