I went to the MacApp presentation at the MacWorld Expo in Boston last
Saturday. The presentation was given by Kurt Schmucker (author of the
book "Object-Oriented Programming for the Macintosh, published by Hayden).
I came away pretty impressed -- especially by a demo program written by
Larry Rosenstein called MacApp Paint. It was pretty much like MacPaint
except that it supported multiple documents, resizable windows and
auto-scrolled during dynamic operations (e.g. while drawing a line).
Not only did it have a lot of features but it appeared to be pretty
fast. I understand that this was developed in two months.
Now I wonder: was this program was written completely using MacApp
and Object Pascal? Also, during the demo Kurt showed a debugger that
allowed one to trace message sends and set breakpoints on message
sends. Is this a standard part of MacApp or is it part of MPW Pascal?
