Hi Roelf,
Thanks for your comments. My turnkey application runs fine on
Rosetta, and so for now, that is a good solution. But as you might
guess customers are wary of buying a Mac application that is PowerPC
only. And somehow I would like to produce an intel version. For
years I have thought I may have to switch from MacForth to a more
common language, but so far I have resisted. And up until now there
has always been a new MacForth in respinse to OS changes such as
PowerPC and Carbon. Alas, now it seems I must abandon forth.
I need to rewrite much of the user interface to sup****t the OSX look -
even to continue as just a PowerPC product there is a big rewrite to
use NIBS. So if I have to rewrite the user interface code anyway, it
might as well be rewritten in C++. And if I'm going to do this, it
might was well be written using WXWidgets, so it becomes cross
platform.
And so this leads to the need to be able to continue to use the forth
engine. So thats my thinking. More later in response to your next
message.
Cheers
Chris
