[comp.sys.amiga] Mac <===> Amiga --- any utilities out there?

giguere@aries5 (Eric Giguere) (09/01/89)

I have a Mac program that I might want to port to the Amiga.  Are there any
utilities (free or commercial) out there to help in converting the user
interface parts?  I'd also be interested in hearing experiences people have
had going from the Amiga to the Mac or vice-versa.  (I suspect it may be
easier just to start coding from scratch.)

I wonder if the Lattice Mac Libraries are the answer to writting
portable code between the MAC and the AMIGA.
Does anyone out there use the Lattice Mac Libs? Could you describe
your use and experiences? Thanks

I have the Mac Library package... got it at one of the AmiExpo's, from Lattice,
inexpensively.  The package is extremely slim, consisting of about 20 pages
of docs, one function-per-page, autodoc-ish descriptions of mac-ish named
functions.  Could probably take care of some of the crust of the pie, but
strongly unlikely to handle the filling, the topping or most anything else.
I have the tissue paper version of Inside Mac.  It is more than 20 pages
long.  (sigh... thought I had something).
