I did work on it for a while, but decided to put it off for a couple of 
reasons. One was lack of time, and the other was that it is simply too
large to do any real development on a two floppy system -- a hard disk or
Sumacc would be need to work with something that size.

The other problem is the lack of a good gotoxy package for the Mac, but I
have a design for something that will handle something like that --
cleareol, cleareop, gotoxy, and a few other critical functions. Won't be
'optimal' like curses, but also won't need something like termcap (a REAL
feature). Of course, I haven't done much on it either, but I will Real Soon
Now.
