[MacPerl] MacPerl publicity, c/o the Carbon Dater...

[Rich Morin <rdm@cfcl.com>]

One of the many lists I get contained the following snippet:

  APPLE RELEASES CARBON DATER. Apple has released the Carbon Dater tool
  to assist MacOS developers in determining the portability of their
  applications to the Carbon APIs. Carbon Dater v1.2 is available for
  download at <http://developer.apple.com/macosx/dater.html>.

Following the link, I pulled down the Carbon Dater.  As I had hoped,
Matt Morse had put in a nice note about MacPerl:

  The Carbon Dater performs a static analysis of compiled PowerPC code.
  It uses MPW tools (including DumpPEF) running under ToolServer to
  extract information from PEF containers. It uses MacPerl scripts to
  perform both client and server-side analysis and to generate the
  Carbon compatibility report (including a pie chart like the one
  shown above) that is returned to you. For more information about
  MacPerl, see the MacPerl Pages (http://www.ptf.com/macperl).

All in all, a very nice bit of publicity for MacPerl!  (If Matt can
find some time to write up the Dater for MacTech, we'll *really* get
some attention! :-)
