Mac version of BlackBox
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2014 4:18 pm
stimulated by the short conversation between Stan Warford and Wojtec Skulski on the mailing list on Friday 28-Nov about Killer Apps, I remembered that I had asked almost a year ago Marc Frei of Oberon Microsystems if there would be any chance to get access to the sources of Blackbox for the Mac. He made almost immediately a zip archive with the (apparently) complete sources of BlackBox 1.3.2.2 for Mac OS available to me with the obligation to use the newer and more liberal license when redistributing the package.
I have no idea how, but think that we (or better I) should include these sources in the repository. I am (not yet) very used to git, but it might be a good task to start learning to use it. Although I am also not very good in using Mac OS, I see that the zip archive was produced under Mac OS and does not use extensions but stored the file type in the resource fork (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_ ... urce_types).

PS: I also still have a Mac Quadra System (I think it is an 840AV) around and it is kind of functional although I am not too good at using it.
