The Mac OSX Version of Lanovision . . .

. . . is almost done. You can try out a test version for Panther (OS 10.3). I'm not sure if it actually works. I was using a computer lab Mac running in restricted mode to test it out. The computer had some random restrictions. Every time I ran a command to get the current working directory, it raised a "permision denied" error. It also denied me from spawning a new process so I had to start the Rendezvous/HTTP server seperately ("lanovision.app/Contents/MacOS/lanovision -runserver") But it might work if you try it on a Mac running with normal privileges. I think that my complaints yesterday about the MacOS operating system were unjustified. That I was able to make an OSX Panther desktop application without owning a Mac and without installing any developers tools is pretty amazing. Also, the real problem with changing an OS too often is when you can't run old tools on the new version, not when new tools won't run on the old version. I think that now that with OS X, with its unix base, is and will be a great platform to develop on.
