classic mac apps in 2.8

[Jeff Reynolds]

Mark,

thanks ill try that out. i think that should work fine as i have not  
really done anything that is all that new in these stacks. i can also  
just continue with the 2.6 and the just open the stack in 2.8 and  
create the osx and pc apps with that. that way there should be no  
backwards feature gotchas (and hopefully no forward feature gotchas!)

is there a list of features anywhere that are post legacy 2.4 format  
for those old classic developers to keep an eye on if we need to move  
to this process in the future? ie features/calls to avoid to keep  
things legacy kosher? Legacy format is not even mentioned in 2.8 docs.

Does anyone know if the classic engine will be updated for classic  
app creation in the 2.8 version? its in there as coming in 2.8.x and  
it is listed as a feature on the web site. perhaps some coming soon  
needs to be put on the web site for the classic support or just  
remove that or the caveat that its only good up to v2.6 for total  
cross platform support.

yes classic is old, but still going very strong in the education  
market. almost impossible not to have a classic version of software  
you try to publish through a publisher still, especially in the lower  
grades where computers are held onto forever...

Sorry i am just moving up from v2.6x to 2.8, as an education  
developer i am on the slow side to upgrade as that market is a few  
years behind the times in lower grades! They are just now thinking  
that vista and intel macs will be something to deal with in the not  
to distant future!

cheers,

jeff reynolds
