Right now, you make available a library without the source code, knowing that the lib certainly has memory problems and is probably not stable on recent platforms. Based on this, I don't see how anyone would want to use it for any kind of serious development..
Nice try, but without the source code I think you're not going to get many users / contributors ;-)
Why don't you make this a SourceForge project?

This project was started back in late 1999 / early 2000 as a hobby just to see if I could get some variant of ObjC running on the Palm. With that in mind this is probably not meant for commercial applications where reliability and robustness are paramount. However, the xObjC library has been tested and seems to be pretty stable*. Of course that last statement in NO WAY grantees ANYTHING; therefore, use at your own risk.
You can download the project files from http://homepage.mac.com/xaplos/ where you'll see a download link on the left side of the page.
It's been a long while (almost two years now) since I've done anything with this project and thought others might be interested. The lower level ObjC support is written in assembler so don't try to run this on an ARM processor. If anyone wants the source / assembly to the ObjC library, please email me and I'll provide them with the following condition: If you make millions from the source, you'll give me my fair share!
Note that all development was done using CW 6 on a Mac (I've updated the CW files to CW 8 and also did an XML export). I tried to make it easy for all you "poor" Windows users by DeRezing all resources into *.r files but all line breaks are Mac line breaks. I've had the privilege of converting my share of files between dos and mac line breaks... have fun:-)
*Just before packaging these files for release, I decided to run the sample application with a 4.1 debug ROM and the Palm Emulator 3.5 which crashed because of a Bus Error. You can still see what the application is suppose to do, but the clean up routines which are written in assembly are obviously not playing well with others. The application "works" without crashing on non-debug ROMs and on several actual devices. I don't have the time to look into this issue, but others are welcome to.
Enjoy!
