Hi Guys,
I just thought I'd post an update so that the Mac users know that I have
been working hard to try to bring you guys the plugs.
I've got CodeWarrior 5.0 running in a Power PC emulator that runs OS 9 on
my PC. The compiler runs perfectly.
I've been trying to migrate the PARIS code to the more standard C++ used
by CodeWarrior. The Plugins were developed for Visual Studio 6, and as is
typical for Microsft, the C++ employed by Visual C++ does not adhere to the
accepted standards. So, there are a zillion changes needed to make the code
work. Include file names, class names, and the inner workings of the code
and compiler are all very different.
I started out with 300 compile errors (which I think is the maximum) and
slowly widdled it down to 2. When I solved the last 2, another 300 appeared
because the compilation process could now progress further (and hit more
problems).
Chuck has been completely run off his feet and not even on the continent
much of the time. When he gets a chance, the Mac will come. It a huge kindness
for him to offer to send it. Until then, I'm learning a lot about C++ through
these efforts, so it is a joy for me to do it. It would also be nice to
leave VC++ 6.0 behind for a more modern compiler on the PC, which could follow
from this work.
I don't have any firm release dates, but I want you guys to know that I am
trying, and one way or another, we will get there. :)
All the best,
Mike

Hi Mike! Glad to here your working on the Mac side. If you get a chance,
would you take a close look at the Paris compressor, BT pointed out that
there is something wrong with the Mac version of the compressor?
Thanks

Hi James,
What I will do is compile my version of the compressor, and we can see if
it makes a difference. There may be bugs in the mac driver, but I'm hopeful
everything will work the same on the mac as on the pc.
All the best,
Mike

From what I understood it was not the algo/comp, but rather a mismap of a
parameter.
