Regarding Mac support for wxWindows, this is a concern for me as NIP's token Mac user (and hence the other NIP'ers working on this - Chris and Andy) :-).
There's some newish work done with wxPython under MacOS X - could be a good start.
You can run X Windows apps under MacOS X, either with the free XonX package or Tenon's XTools. I suspect this means we'll be able to run wxWindows for X Windows under MacOS X. I'll try this when I have time.
Shudder.
Running the X Window version doesn't solve the problem for pre-MacOS X people, but then again they can't run Zope either, so I don't think that's too much of a problem.
I know :( - this has always been a downer for me, so I installed LinuxPPC just to get Zope working on an old BlackMac I have.
If I can't get wxWindows running under MacOS X, we'll just have to come up with something based on Cocoa.... then you'll all be sorry! (evil laugh).
Oh yes they will won't they? ;) The combination of proper unix and the Mac GUI (altered via Aqua) is just so ... terrific ... as far as I'm concerned.
(the running joke at NIP is we're trying to ease Chris W. off his unfortunate addiction to Windows - MacOS X may be a more comfortable upgrade for him than Linux, if only because hardware looks cool).
Chris?, Windows? - didn't know thaaat. And you're right, the hardware (TiPb) is tres icebox ;) Tone out. -- Dr Tony McDonald, Assistant Director, FMCC, http://www.fmcc.org.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 243 6140 A Zope list for UK HE/FE http://www.fmcc.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/zope
