First, thanks to Jack Jansen for integrating the Mac sources; this is
a good thing.
It seems, however, that some of the directory structure is backwards:
Mac/Demo should be Demo/Mac, and Mac/Tools should be Tools/Mac. There
may be others of this kind.
I also wonder whether all these files are still needed, and meant to
be distributed. E.g. I see chdir.c having the comment
/* Chdir for the Macintosh.
Public domain by Guido van Rossum, CWI, Amsterdam (July 1987).
Pathnames must be Macintosh paths, with colons as separators. */
Is it really the case that the Mac API hasn't grown a chdir call in 13
years?
Regards,
Martin
