Ah, the first glimmer of hope ever. I've given up all hope of OneClick
itself making it to OS X. WestCode seems to have thrown in the towel. And I
do understand that it really means doing it all over again, there's no port
possible. But if Jon Pugh himself, and a sometime-collaborator of Leonard
Rosenthol's, is motivated here ... all I can say is
please.
(I know you don't mean you'd do it yourself. But if you and Leonard knew
_how_ to do it, just maybe someone else might follow through... Oh well,
here's hoping.)
