Yep I have this one and it’s great Thanks!

Thanks will do!

Ok checked in some python scripts at https://github.com/lawson89/classic_disk_utils Used them to sync up my C code from minivmac so I can check into github and everything seems to be formatted nicely https://github.com/lawson89/mac_c_primer Suggestions and merge requests welcome!

Thank you for the links!

Yes I would especially be interested in what frameworks exist I know macapp was one but I vaguely remember others that were smaller/easier from way back in the day but after 20+ years as a Java dev I have forgotten everything I’m picking it back up both as a hobby and to help me brush up on...
