I've poted it before, but here's what I'm up to. Phase 1: get back up to speed on pascal. I've never used think pascal, but I have used MPW pascal. There are some differences, but I have to use what I got :-) I think the last time I talked about this, I was still looking for development software. I have it now, should be fun! Now to find the time...
I'm also breaking out the assembly reference. I have an assembler now too. Pascal and assembler should make me able to do most everything.. Anyway, once I get my mac legs back, I'm going to do the following: 1.) Work on terminal software with telnet and ssh support 2.) Work on a decent system 6 web browser (written mostly in assembly to make it zippier) 3.) Write a gmail client. i use gmail now, and that means I need a custom client. I may change up the order of those. Keep in mind, these are very time consuming, so it may be a bit before I have much to show for it. I imagine there will be some practice things along the way. As far as the multifinder change you proposed above, that would extend beyond the finder itself. There are quite a few system changes that would be required. Anyway, doing that would require a complete rewrite of multifinder, and I definitely can't find time for that! Sorry. Also, interfacing would be something I would like to do, but I don't have a Newton or OS X to work with. However, you can use a pcakage called netatalk to communicate between any unix machine and a macintosh. I know it should be possible to set up the server on OS X to get access to and from your system 6 macintosh. -Bob On Mon, 4 Oct 2004 22:38:51 -0400, Byron Q.
