- I am contemplating to get involved in a software project aimed at several
- machines, including Macs. My preferred work environment however is Unix,
- mainly due to Emacs and lots of handy utilities. Since I know next to
- nothing about Mac development tools, I would like to get some information
- about the following topics:
-
- 1) Unix-like tools
- Are Emacs and the standard Unix-tools available for the Mac? If yes,
- where can they be obtained?
-
- 2) A/UX
- Is it a realistic proposition to use A/UX as a development platform
- for 'standard' Mac systems? Apple claims that normal Mac applications
- can be used under A/UX, but how does it work out in practice?
- Are Emacs and the other GNU utilities available for A/UX, or has
- FSF's boycot against Apple prevented that?
-
- Any help, including pointers to other information sources, is
- greatly appreciated.
