- This same idea of highlighting code and executing it is captured
- by Eval. You can find the program some where on the archives,
- perhaps named as source/Eval.tar.Z. Glen Diener (grd@ccrma.stanford.edu)
- is the author of this cool little app.
-
- Eval provides itself as a service. When you highlight any text,
- you can ask Eval to execute it as Objective-C or execute it as
- PostScript. The PostScript is the easy part. When Eval has a
- request to execute some Objective-C, it forks off cc with a
- minimal environment and Eval-library, then dynamically links
- the object into itself and executes it.

- Mind the $2,500,000.00 shareware fee though...
