This same idea of highlighting code and executing it is captured by Eval. You can find the program some where on the archives, perhaps named as source/Eval.tar.Z. Glen Diener (grd@ccrma.stanford.edu) is the author of this cool little app. Eval provides itself as a service. When you highlight any text, you can ask Eval to execute it as Objective-C or execute it as PostScript. The PostScript is the easy part. When Eval has a request to execute some Objective-C, it forks off cc with a minimal environment and Eval-library, then dynamically links the object into itself and executes it. Mind the $2,500,000.00 shareware fee though... Stuart
