iShell was completely abandoned a couple of years ago, with one last unfulfilled promised update hanging on the vine. Fitting actually, if you remember their history. Coincidence of  timing, these voices from the past, since just yesterday, with a rueful smile, I tossed out the documentation to make room on my shelves for docs of current software.  Too bad. As I said any number of times, they were great programmers and crappy at marketing, with a peculiar resistance to taking advice.

I gave up when Windows 7 operability became "maybe."

(These days, I'm writing iPhone stuff; building the occasional LAMP website; showing, selling and teaching fine art photography; and have just completed a film on a symposium on the photographer Wynn Bullock.)

That's ironic Tracy. I tossed my iShell stuff just last Thursday. Great minds think alike (ha!).

Mainly iOS for me... but RunRev (now called LiveCode) and RealBasic for Xplat stuff.

We went the php / mysql route, filling in the blanks with ever-changing web media stuff.

Ha, I'm just in the process of updating some legacy products, and got iShell running fine on Windows 7 and Lion in the course of it.  We shipped most of our products with a version of iShel that runs fine on Lion but the launcher app does not, so we are having to tell customers to go into the Data folder to launch the app in there, and then everything runs fine.

Windows has had more issues, with increasing numbers of generic 'iShell has encountered a problem' errors. Many of these are Quicktime and driver related.

We do development on almost everything, but I wouldn't say there is any real drop-in replacement for iShell. The platforms that you're required to run on are just so fractured.

"but I wouldn't say there is any real drop-in replacement for iShell"

That is absolutely the awful truth for us non-programmers.

For the last 2 years of my membership i did not have a use for iShell but i felt that the software and the people behind it deserved a bit of support.  Kind if ironic.  Right now i could use iShell for a couple of personal projects but more importantly for several pro-bono projects.

I think it would earn back the people at tribeworks a lot of Karma points if they made the software open source.

And i also think Santa Claus should bring me the Powerbook i asked for x-mas :¬(
