Interesting link, if you haven't seen it. Apparently the Safari beta
for Win32 has CoreFoundation.dll which can be linked against using
XCode. Not Cocotron, for sure, but interesting. Yellow Box lives?

The Win version of Safari looked almost identical (certainly the page
rendering did) to the OS X version when I viewed them side by side
using Parallels on my mac today.

Yea this is interesting, I hadn't seen it, but the downside is that it
is a violation of the EULA :/

My small hope out of the whole Safari on Windows thing is that they it
will make a Cocotron compatible WebKit a little easier to pull off.

Hi,

I just stumbled over the followiing site:

http://developer.apple.com/opensource/cflite.html

This describes how the open source version of core foundation (CF-
Lite) can be used for developing cros platform applications. There is
a full fledged example which builds a cross platform PLIST example,
the following is a quotation from that site:

"Our primary example involves the use of Core Foundation property
lists, or "plists," as a common data exchange mechanism between Mac OS
X, Darwin, and Linux. All plists have an XML syntax, which imposes
structure on the data stored in the plist. Also, plists use a key-
value association, where you specify an identifier, or key, for the
data element to retrieve, and the plist returns the associated
value(s)."

Seem that the Apples Open Source CF-Lite comes with functinallity
which might be useful also for Cocotron.

Best regards

Rolf
