MacFORTH Artifacts

Once again, the MacFORTH development system leaves bits of itself strewn around...

Finder Icons

ChipWits 1.1 contains this icon for a MacFORTH blocks file.

ChipWits 1.2 contains the blocks icon, plus an app icon that it shares with Race Car Simulator.

Version String

Both circulating versions have the same owner resource, which appears in the Get Info window under later versions of Mac OS. It too belongs to MacFORTH and not ChipWits.

About Boxes

This credit screen hides in ChipWits 1.1 as a PICT resource:

ChipWits 1.2 was compiled by a later edition of MacFORTH, which self-advertised under its tagline.

1.2 also has this placeholder header for a custom about box...

...but since ChipWits has no about box, none of these graphics have anywhere to show up.
