I am currently in the process of porting a J 6.02 application that runs on Windows to run on OSX. I have encountered several incompatibilities, but could not find any relevant documentation.
File locking (1!:30, 1!:31, 1!:32) always yield domain errors; presumably file locking is not implemented on the Mac. Tab controls on Windows support the style tcs_multiline (for multiple rows), but on the Mac, this appears to be accepted but ignored. Combo boxes on Windows support the styles: cbs_dropdownlist (edit box with dropdown list), cbs_dropdown (static box with dropdown list), cbs_simple (static box with list box), cbs_autohscroll (automatic horizontal scrolling within the static or edit box), but on OSX any of these generate a domain error in wd. So I basically have three questions: 1) Does anyone who has experience with using wd on OSX know how to get the same functionality? 2) The wd documentation says 'cc' accepts a 'style'. Is there any documentation about just what wd accepts for this on different platforms, in particular, OSX? 3) Is there any list of which foreigns or other system-dependent APIs that work differently from one platform to another, and what the differences are? -- Mark D.
