- Hi Folks,
-
- Here's our official policy on supporting language systems. Basically
- they won't be supported under 2.0 because they have a limited
- usership and because some of the functionality just won't be present
- under 2.0 (specifically the ability for one program to run another
- program without disappearing and the ability to do various low-level
- things that debuggers do).
-
- On the other hand, we do have Think C 6.0 in house and it starts to
- work and then has some sort of filesystem problems. Since there
- should be no filesystem problems in any Mac program running under
- Executor, we'll be fixing those. If Think C 6.0 is then able to run
- well enough to create applications, we'll mention that when we list
- the status of various programs that we're testing.
-
- If Think 6.0 turns out to be useful with some limitations in
- debugging, then we'll pick up a copy of Think Pascal and see if we
- can bring it to the same state (if it doesn't just work).
-
- Languages that have interpretted debuggers, like HyperCard are much
- bigger candidates for support under 2.0.
