- I've been working on Gambit. You can take the unix version of Gambit
- and get it running under A/UX with minimal effort. I just tweaked
- makefiles a bit.
-
- Now, your question is still a very good one, one that I don't know the
- answer too, and would like to. I've perused the Toolbox interfaces in
- /usr/include/mac that cc/gcc will use, and I've noticed a lot of the
- MPW provided interfaces, such as AppleEvents.h, and lots of other
- system 7 interfaces are missing.
-
- Therefore, let me reask your question: How does one call newer Mac OS
- managers from A/UX processes, when the interfaces for those managers
- don't exist for cc/gcc?
-
- Specifically, I'm most interested in AppleEvent interfaces, so I can write
- A/UX processes that talk to MacOS processes via AppleEvents. Does anybody
- have these?
