I seem to recall that someone was attempting to port hack to a Mac, but
that was posted a long time ago. If that person is out there, how about
an update. (Was it you Chuq?)

I had downloaded the source for Rogue 3.6 to my Mac. While this is a very 
early version of rogue, I think that I can get it working on a 128K machine
without too many segments. The source alone occupies 280K on the disk. I have
a feeling I will have to compile stuff to object code then move it to another
disk just to link it. (I am a long way from that!) By the way, does anyone
have a package to simulate cursor addressing for Mac text?? It would be the
easiest first "hack" at getting MacRogue off the ground.
