Richmond,
I believe 2.6.1 was the last version with mac classic build abilities. in 2.8 it was
"build for mac os classic will be available soon" but never came i think. that
was the final version for a long time that i had to keep building in when i had to
support classic (then move stack to more recent version for osx build.)
As far as I know 3.5 could produce Classic builds. That, however is not
what I was after;
what I was looking for was a Mac Classic version of RunRev, and, since I
posted my message,
somebody sent me, off-list, an unlicensed version of 2.6.1, and I had a
'mad' idea, and jacked up my SCSI
ZIP drive to a SCSI card in a PCI slot in a Linux box I have, and
retrieved a Classic build of RunRev 2.0.
The main "problem" about transferring HC stuff to RR/LC is the bother of
having to run 2 machines next door to each other; one
being a PPC Mac running OS 8-9, and the other pretty well anything else
running a non-Classic version of RR/LC. By using a Classic
version of RR/LC one can get round this problem, and transfer stacks
fairly directly.
2.0 was a build that allowed unlicensed users to build stacks and
standalones as long as each object contained no more
than 10 lines of code (I designed a prototype agent-led GUI for software
development with an unlicensed version:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RRRThesis/files/
as a Master's degree thesis at a University), and as such works
reasonably well for transferring HC stacks.
To a lesser extent one can do this with Metacard 2.5 which is readily
available:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MC_IDE/files/
of course the difference between the RunRev UI and the Metacard UI is
why RR/LC is still alive and kicking, while Metacard
is, now, a UI one can strap onto the RR/LC engine if one likes the
experience of flying by the seat of one's pants.
i cant find an unlicensed zip of the 2.6.1 unfortunately..

ps i still fire up my old sinclair z80 once and a while for a giggle. micro
tape recorder is not doing so well though and tapes i expect to disintegrate
with each load! hard to find any rf display input though anymore--another dodo
bird! i lost the manual for the z80 and getting harder and harder to remember
how to make it all work! basis 108 still lurks in the basement but no monitor
for it... jr

So . . . being aware that various releases of RunRev 3.5.0 are stlll
available for download on RunRev's servers, I wonder
if anyone knows if there was a Mac Classic build of RR 3.5 and, if so,
the URL to download it?
