I wouldn't want to code with XCode on MAC for the same concerns with Delphi for Windows - you're locking yourself down.
I've recently been using #develop and other C# IDEs on OSX with Mono (.NET) and it looks like a very promising cross-platform system. I haven't tried a Forms app in OSX but they work well on my Fedora and SUSE boxes. And of course it runs on Windows. But if I could write some tools for MAC-only, even if they're VistA related and I wanted to be selfish, I only need an idea... (if you have any ideas) :) /David. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Link, Chuck M Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 11:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] MUMPS for Mac OS X? I've been awaiting an M for OS X also. Having been talking to a couple of the IS folks, it sounds like Cache for OS X really will happen soon. I'm also looking to try M and CPRS via Virtual PC on my G4 laptop. (I've caught hell at previous meetings for lugging three laptops around.) Sounds like a new sub-group of the VistA Community is brewing. :-) Just one of the beauties of OS X is that very nice development tools are included in the price of admission. There's nothing extra to buy to create Mac apps. (They're taken from the NeXT, which was damn sweet to develop on.) Maybe we could come up with a client object for the Kernel Broker that could be used with OS X's Interface Builder. I'm looking forward to Cache for OS X, but it really isn't needed to do client-side development for OS X, or any OS, is it?.
