Considering that Classic Mac OS was a fairly popular classic platform in the 90s and a bit into the early 2000s, I think allowing for Gate to be used in Mac OS 9 development would be great! This may be difficult to achieve as documentation is scarce nowadays, but I think it would be beneficial towards the goal of this project.

Hi @ch0ccyra1n

Thanks for your recommendation to include Mac OS. This platform is definitely missing in my OS-journey.
And I would like to learn how such apps were made.
Unfortunately I could never get in touch with the legacy Mac-world, I have no hardware and no software, especially no free C compiler.
But ... it already triggered me, and I will search on archive.org and other places.
I would need a compiler like openWatcom (for DOS, Win16 and OS/2) that is still available for current Linux systems and which supports cross-compilation for Mac platforms.

If you have further information were to get development environments and documentation regarding classic MacOS (free ones preferred ;) ), please let me know.

Thanks and best regards
Stefan
