[NTLK] UNDO: Unified Newton Development Overview

[j]

Have you heard of the Mac Application Compatibility Environment ( M.A.C.E.) project?
They are creating a WINE-like environment for classic Mac apps.
There are quite a number that are working very well… even Hypercard (mostly)!

I wonder if your Serial/TCP code would slot into their project to help create a “containerized” version of NTK that does NOT require an emulator!

Currently MACE runs on MacOS and (barley) Windows.

You can ask them questions in this thread:

You can check out their project here:

No mailing list or forum though :-) . So we would need some website developer, some graphics design, and someone to wade through documentation and extract information into exciting content. Maybe we can integrate that with Unna? I'll be happy to pay for the webspace.
