I am new to Mac-Forth programming (Although I did do some a long time ago on the Atari 800 system). I would be interested in using either Yerk or MOPS to do the following: 1) Write quick little utility Apps to give to my co-workers. I would like to be able to bring up windows, draw text and graphics into them, etc... (The usual Mac U.I. stuff). Minimizing development time is more important to me than minimizing memory usage or time efficiency. Good debugging capability is particularly important. 2) Write Stand-alone code resources, particularly INIT's. Often I want to patch some traps to keep track of some aspect of the O.S. I would like to be able to create an INIT that, whenever it was entered, would dump me into a Forth interpreter/debugger so I could incrementally add and test the INIT's functionality. Once I finished (after many reboots), I would like to create a small INIT that executes in the desired manner. (Actually, the Forth interpreter + windowing code is likely to be small enough that I wouldn't mind if it remained in the init, as long as users of the INIT don't see it).
