[QUOTE="bobicanprogram, post: 1202756, member: 195399"] I am the facilitator for the SIMPL open source project ([url=http://www.icanprogram.com/simpl]SIMPL[/url]). This project has been around for more than a decade. It produces a Send/Receive/Reply (QNX style) messaging toolkit primarily for Linux systems. A SIMPL application consists of two or more interacting SIMPL modules. Those SIMPL modules can be written in a wide array of programming languages (C, C++, Python, JAVA,Tcl/Tk and soon PHP) and can be mixed in a given SIMPL application. Through the use of generic surrogates those SIMPL modules can be distributed across a network, often without even a recompile. It was recently brought to my attention that the SIMPL toolkit can be compiled and run on a Mac. There have been some issues related to the fact that the Mac OSX uses case insensitive file naming, but hopefully those are now resolved. On Linux systems the SIMPL developer typically uses the self installing archive ([url=http://icanprogram.ca/simpl/simpl.self.html]SIMPL Self Installing Archive[/url]) to install the toolkit. I'd love to have this SIMPL stuff in a more Mac friendly install package. We don't have a lot of Mac expertise in the SIMPL project, so hence this post. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer. bob PS. I'd also love to add Objective-C to the list of languages usable for creating SIMPL modules. [/QUOTE]
