Cocoa was a fantastic framework, taking away much of the need for PowerPlant.

Objective-C was Apple's language, being evolved without any standards body. The entire Mach-O world was just not intended to be targeted by anyone else's environment (each CodeWarrior release from that era is basically tied to a specific OS X version for Mach-O development because of header/library changes between versions). It was a level playing field for Apple, Lightspeed/Symantec, Metrowerks, and even Microsoft to compete and sell development environments (IDE, compiler, libraries).īut of course this all changed with OS X. The popular video game BSOD was written entirely in conio.h-enabled QBASIC.Agreed, I think the writing was on the wall for CodeWarrior from the day OS X came out.Īpple was vendor-neutral regarding development tools for the entire classic Mac era: yes they sold MPW, but Universal Interfaces, SDKs, documentation were all distributed separately.

The lack of conio on Linux has caused programmers on that platform to shout ncurses at Microsoft. Several attempts have been made to port conio.h to Linux, but since conio.h is actually an MS-DOS executable, this has proven quite difficult. There is a somewhat-working version for MS-DOS, and an inbred, mutant version for Windows. Many attempts have been made to port conio.h to operating systems other than MS-UNO. In 2007, information leaked from a Microsoft employee who apparently was a part of the original team of people that created conio.h, who stated that Conio.h actually comes from the Bulgarian word Коньо (again, pronounced Cone-yo) which is how horses are addressed in that language, since it most accurately represents the types of women the team of developers were dating at the time. Microsoft claims that those who use CONIO.H find it easier to get a piece of coño. Conio is pronounced exactly the same way as coño: Cone-yo. # include 10 PRINT 'Hello, World!' GOTO 10 IF CANTFIND ( 10 ) THEN GET DIRECTIONSTO ( 10 ) END IF IF STILLCANTFIND ( 10 ) THEN DEF SEG = 0 DEFJAM = SUP POKE PEPE, PEEK ( PANTIES ) END IF MIKEE = HANDSOMEĬonio.h is believed to be a corruption of the Spanish word coño, which means cunt.
