Does anyone know of a partial or complete implementation of the mac toolbox on UNIX? I seem to remember some company doing this, going under, and donating the source to a university or something. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.

There was a partial implementation under Bell UNIX by a long-defunct company called Cadmus. The idea was to make it 95% source code compatible with the Macintosh, so Mac applications could be readily ported to the CadMac UNIX workstation. No one did and the project flopped. Last I heard, Apple had bought up the software to prevent competition, but this is not confirmed. -- Tim Maroney, Consultant, Eclectic Software, sun!hoptoad!tim "I was brought up in the other service; but I knew from the first that the Devil was my natural master and captain and friend.
