Has all development stopped?

Hi there,

Thank you for asking this as it helps clarify the situation.

No, it hasn't stopped for Mac OS, but it is now much slower progress than planned for.
The major advantage of the RB development system was an easier path for MacOS progress but sadly its just not tenable now

HN built using Free Pascal does partially work on MacOS. 
However, as expected it  it had startup problems due to MacOS's differing file system - not insurmountable - just needs time to modify.
Its encouraging though that it does actually start to load up etc and the bugs are easy to see.

Right now, HN is moving forward on Windows OS, and MacOS will be next.
Although I'm sorry that there isn't a firm timeline.

By the way, some history, HN started on Mac Classic OS 9, then OS X, and then to Windows. 
So going back to MacOS is important.

All the best,
Malcolm
