I started with 2.0.1a6 from Nigel Pearson. I compiled with MPW.
Sometime in-between my external SCSI disk where this all lived
died, so no full source set, but the file read_disk.c was the
only one with real changes (besides some ifdef mess for build
fixes).
I've looked for MPW (what version?) for years, but I've never found it.
But I'm a bad enough programmer in GCC that even fining MPW probably
wouldn't help. I do have Think C 4.0 (I think the last version was
5.0),
but that probably wouldn't work, either.
MPW shouldn't be too hard to find. Apple's old FTP site is long gone,
but last I checked, there were still quite a few reliable mirrors of it
hanging around. It's in the developer tools section. Here's one:
fwiw:
I never had MPW on the Mac back in the day, but I have had luck running
THINK C / Symantec C/C++ on both BasiliskII and qemu. My old media has gone
missing, but I found them both on macintoshrepository. I see there's MPW 3.x
available:
https://www.macintoshrepository.org/545-macintosh-programmer-s-workshop-mpw-3-x
BasiliskII is much faster and flexible for general use - the shared unix dirs
are great for transfers - but there's no MMU support, and the FPU is buggy.
Which reminds me, I should update the version in pkgsrc...
