Cocoa has NSAppleEventManager and NSAppleEventDescriptor classes. Carbon documents on AppleEvent seem to be dropped from Apple's Developer library at present, but AppleEvent is surely there on Lion. I guess AppleEvent features will be moved to CoreAppleEvent framework. (Probably, most of present Carbon functionality may be factored into Core-something frameworks.) By the way, in my opinion, QE has many indispensable features for Mops/forth programming in addition to communicating with PowerMops via AppleEvents. Searching 1st/prev/next use of the same word, defined word/Class-method list and folder search features are very useful, and without those debugging will become a nightmare. I don't know if there is any text editor other than QE that has those features, or at least, is so customizable as to get all those. (By the way,the name of the principal source code string to be interpreted in iMops is still "QEStr". I am supposing QE will be ported to Macintel. Hmm.. what has happened on MacForth...) Anyway, since iMops project requires PowerMops, my choice is to stay Snow Leopard for a while. -Nao Sacrada |
