I haven't been hacking on the mac much in the past few years. When I was an undergrad, I programmed on the mac in TML pascal back when I had the original loose leaf version of inside mac before they send me the hardbound version. Now I haven't written a real program for the mac in about four years. Of course I have always owned a mac, but in grad school I have only hacked Lisp on Symbolics. I have kept my version of TML pascal and Think C almost up to date, and now I will be writing some real software again. My question is: Has anything changed about programming the mac in the past four years? What I mean is: Do I still have to write an event loop and handle all events to windows and menus manually? I would like to write some code and then just throw in the user interface. Perhaps I am looking for a library of functions that can perform the menial tasks of low-level event handling. Is that what MacApp is? I really want to know if we have left the dark-ages that we were in when I last hacked the mac four years ago. o, ,, , | Bernie Bernstein | , ,, L>O/ \,/ \ ,| University of Colorado at boulder |/ \,,/ \ O./ ' / . `, / | office: (303) 492-1218 | / ` \ ,. ,/ / , ' | email: bernard@boulder.colorado.edu | / '' \
