Travis,

This is a valuable resource to have. I’m glad to see this software isn’t doomed to the dustbin of history. Thank you!

You’re welcome. I think we need to get both my Intel-only version and your PPC-only version put together somewhere. It also might be good to do a Mac OSX PPC build, since I believe that yours requires Classic, which isn’t exactly optimal. Mine might be more confusing to users though, since it’s done as a Unix command. (I have no idea how yours work, since it won’t run on my machine; I don’t have Classic.)

Note that I tried a Universal build, but it failed due to my lack of a Universal build of libpng. If someone can send me instructions on getting libpng to build as a Univeral binary, I’d really appreciate it. It’s actually holding up another project of mine. I spent a little time trying to get it to build, but stopped before investing all that much time. Alternatively, if someone can send me a PPC build of libpng, I think it can be merged with my Intel build into a Universal binary.

Thoughts?

(...) The version I posted does not require Classic. It's an old CFM Carbon program (not Mach-O) that can run natively under both OS 8/9 and OS X. It is PowerPC though, so on an Intel Mac, it gets emulated via Rosetta. (But I suspect it runs faster (...) (17 years ago, 28-Jul-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
