Question about Webcatalog and Webstar for Mac OS X (Allen Booth 1998)

Below is a snippet from Apple's developer news? Perhaps someone fromPacific Coast could answer... Are you going to make Webcatalog work with Webstar forMac OS X?Regards,Al Booth[6] Mac OS X Tool News: StarNine TechnologiesStarNine Technologies has announced plans to develop a CarbonAPI-based version of WebSTAR for use on Mac OS X (ten), whileproviding a smooth transition with Mac OS 8.5-compatible versions ofWebSTAR. Available after Apple's release of Mac OS X, the new CarbonAPI-based version of WebSTAR will take advantage of the powerfulfeatures of Mac OS X, including preemptive multitasking, memoryprotection, and advanced virtual memory.http://www.smithmicro.com/WebDNA-Talk wrote:> -> Problems with upload / WebCat> by Per Christian Lied > -> Re: BIG PROBLEMS with Checkboxes!!!> by Chris W. > -> RE: RE: Digest for 10/19/98> by Puchalski, Steve > -> RE: RE: Digest for 10/19/98> by Puchalski, Steve > -> Checkboxes and neSKUdata=[blank]> by Chris W. > -> [showif] a either fields are blank> by akcat@shentel.net> -> Re: textA> by John G.
