system 6/7 apps to osX

[oldappleguy]

a friend sent this to me

In seamlessly compiling System 6/7 era software in a modern open source
compiler to yield "real" OS X apps. Pretty amazing. The guy
retroactively rebuilt the entire Mac ROM/library calls, from the sounds
of it.

His side by side comparison of the same code compiling on a classic
original Mac and on OS X. Pretty mind blowing.

Thats really impressive. And way over my heard. But looks really cool!

Maybe this will allow for more complete emulation of the 68k Macs eventually?

Or maybe at least allow for an open source implementation of the ROM so we don't have to dip into that legal grey area all the time.

Anyone here try compiling apps from Gryphel?  He has a bunch of old Apps with their source code.
