Cocoa GUI interface for Darwin based Forth systems.

Goals:

– Similar in usage as other interfaces in MacForth and Mach2. Think of things like NEW-XXX ADD.XXX etc.

– No hacks, no shortcuts. Should survive OS upgrades! Follow their rules.

– Try to stay close to ObjC names and procedures. Makes Apple examples easy to follow and to implement.

Inevitable is breaking the rules.

Note: Cocoa interface runs in CarbonMacForth(2008), iForth(2009) and SwiftForth(2010).

Current Mac OSX is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Lion 10.7.1

Current development is in SwiftForth.

Current target is ObjC runtime 2. [Read the rest…]

Meanwhile Nao Sacrada has released an alpha version of iMops, a 64bit, Cocoa, Intel port of Mops [more info…].

Exciting, and interesting implications for io’s descendants.

\ MOD: HeP 03/05/99 Started project afresh!
\                   This version keeps most of the "intelligence" in the
\                   objects, while the piece specific elements are kept to a
\                   minimum. It is also a test for the "laurie" project.
\ MOD: HeP 01/22/00 Trash the file io_util.
\ MOD: HeP 01/26/00 Only load objects:io_patches if io_vl70m is true.
\ MOD: HeP 02/07/00 Get rid of conditional compilation of the multiple
\                   instrument objects -- they all get compiled now.
\                   Same goes for the input parsers.
\                   Rename the io:objects: directory as io:modules:
\ MOD: HeP 04/09/00 Load the file myt:parser_list.
\ MOD: HeP 04/16/00 Load the file myt:ctrl_interpreter.
\ MOD: HeP 04/17/00 Add the modules:io_interp component.
\                   Load io_config before the modules.
\ MOD: HeP 04/18/00 Change load order of the major io components.
\ MOD: HeP 04/19/00 Add modules:io_particle component.
\ MOD: HeP 04/26/00 No longer load myt:hp_input_particle since we define an
\                   equivalent class in io_particle.
\                   Add modules:io_player component.
\ MOD: HeP 06/01/00 modules:io_script may be loaded. See file io_screen.
\ MOD: HeP 06/07/00 io_glob loads before modules.
\ MOD: HeP 06/20/00 Split off io_ui from io_screen and io_input.
\ MOD: HeP 10/02/00 Load file myt:ctrl_numeric+.
\ REV: 0.0.1 alpha  __________________________________________________________
\ MOD: HeP 11/02/00 Load the file myt:mono_parser+.
\ REV: 0.0.1 beta   __________________________________________________________
\ MOD: HeP 03-19-04 First experiments with floating point calculations.
\ MOD: HeP 03-21-04 Speedup floating point code. Old floating point would drag
\                   the system by 30% (35 ticks instead of the 26 ticks set by
\                   hp_dur).
\ MOD: HeP 04-15-04 Trash io_script? which wasn't being used.
\ MOD: HeP 05-01-04 Move all includes (and conditional includes) from the
\                   individual files to load_io.
\ MOD: HeP 05-19-04 Split off some of the dialogs from io_screen to
\                   modules:io_pdur_dlog.
