I'll start by pulling the 4x code into the NQC source base. That should
make it trivial to build a stand-alone command line based downloader for
Win32 (95/nt/98), Linux, Solaris, and Mac 68k/ppc under MPW. We could
also get Win3.1 and DOS covered if someone could supply the necessary
serial port code (there's a single class that implements all serial I/O -
port the class and you're in business).
If there was demand for a drag-and-drop (non-MPW) version for the Mac, I
could do that as well, but it sounds like a lower priority than getting
the 4x stuff into the main NQC source base.
As usual, whatever I put together will be MPL.
Dave
