Oh man ROTFL!

So, a while back I found an actual FOCAL program on the net and downloaded it, lunarlander.foc. I'm pretty sure I mentioned it here but I can't find my post.😞

Anyway it doesn't run in my version of the Conway/ Kida FOCAL interpreter and I just realized why.

Because this is ALL UPPERCASE source and this FOCAL only knows function names in lower case!

And I never noticed!

This FOCAL does accept uppercase keywords, but not functions.

Using autocad r12 on mac os 9.2.2
Had to manually increase allowable ram to enable rendering. Seems amazingly backwards for an OS from 2001.
Is this a thing with os 9 or is it only for old 68k programs?

🐑💾 Ah, the thrilling world of #emulation, where you can spend countless hours setting up #SheepShaver just to relive the glory days of OS 9. Meanwhile, your actual #Mac sits neglected, wondering why it wasn’t good enough. 🤦‍♂️ But don't worry, the #EMaculation wiki is here to provide an endless maze of instructions, ensuring you're never lost while doing absolutely nothing. 🙃

In #Mac #OS9 you could drag a window to the bottom of the screen and it would create a tab with the window title. You could then click it to expand and contract the window. Does anyone know of an extension that will do the same on #OSX? Yes I know the #Dock and it is easily one of the worst things about OSX.

@LaurentFr : Ou #os9 68k ?

Would anyone here know of any non-test file that uses a standalone `\r` carriage return as a line break?

As far as I can tell, the last system to support these was Mac OS X 10.4 (released 2004), which was the last to include a "Classic Environment" emulator for Classic Mac OS.
