[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MacApp and System 7

wilkins@jarthur.Claremont.EDU (Mark Wilkins) (06/28/90)

  Hi all.

  Has anyone tried to implement a System 7 capable application using
MacApp?  How easy is it, and can it be done without modifying the original
MacApp code, using inheritance and all that?

I understand that DPWrite and DPDraw (Edition Manager examples handed
out at the Developer's Conference) were implemented in MacApp with
minimal or no changes to MacApp itself. It's on my list of things to do
to see if DTS can release those programs as sample code when System 7.0
becomes more generally available.

If you can wait until 7.0 is final, then you'll also be able to
leverage off of MacApp 2.1. This version is a 7.0 update; we're aiming
for it to be available no more than 3 months after the release of 7.0
final.
