Dreams in Cocoaland...The "Port"

Hi All,
So just an update that I am beginning this work. So far it is fun. I enjoy projects like this. I am still finalizing a blog based website to blog my work with RSS. I know there has been some debate about usage of the Intel Compilers. I was wondering if we could raise $172.00 in donations so I could purchase a license for OS X. Intel has offered to throw in the support and maintenance gratis and even let me correspond with an Engineer for 6 months to make sure I am set with using their toolset. They are providing resources on maintaining GCC compatibility as well. I know this is not a lot of money, but when you are starting a charitable foundation to hand out school bags to kids that cannot afford them, every penny helps. At this point I can only accept Paypal, but my US Merchant Interface should be finished soon. If you can donate, please let me know and I will provide my PayPal address. Thanks everyone. -Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Dear Jason,
> when you are starting a charitable foundation to hand out school bags > to kids that cannot afford them, every penny helps. This is news to me. I did not realise you were short of money, or I would have spoken up sooner. I don't think any of us will feel comfortable taking your time for free when you are short of money. A programmer of your ability should not go short of money on anyone's account, let alone ours. Please look after yourself first, and then worry about us and our dreams of a Cocoa port.

I am fine on my living money, etc. Please do not get that impression. My life is not about being filthy rich. My fiance works. Sorry to give that impression. The TCL/TK port is beneficial and I want to do it! -Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Just not in the way I had anticipated. individuals using Pepper comprised almost nothing sales wise, but licensing to companies was a whole lot better. I just licensed the source to a database company for use in its editor. I am also working to get a better linux version as that is really in demand now. -Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Did you ever release a Mac version after the first Pepper X that was more of a rebadge than any fundamental code change? I'd love to hear a yes but I'm pretty sure it's a no. I'm still using Hekkleman's Pepper 4.0.6 and wishing it were a bit more stable or that there was a good replacement (not that I want this to degenerate into editor wars; I know about TextMate, BBEdit, TextWrangler, Eddie, SubEthaEdit, Coda, Smultron, AquaEmacs, AquaVI and various IDEs and have used some of them extensively) -- Russell ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I spent about $18,000 out of my pocket to acquire the source to Pepper from Maarten. I worked really hard on the mac only version, but then a company wanted changes to Windows and then an SGI/IRIX version. Linux and Mac fell by the way side until recently. A database company licensed the OS X code for use in its SQL Editor and an unreleased concept. I started a few months ago looking at Pepper in a more OS X only mind set. I researched Core Text and other editors functionality. I started re-writing it in TCL/TK, then became more interested in a Cocoa version of TCL/TK. The same with Impression, I recently sold a source code license to a company here in California that is using it as a foundation for a new product. Time to move off list, I just saw Kevins e-mail. -Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
