I still remember back in 2008 when you noted that your "behavior in open

Anyone who works with me on any project will recognize that philosophy. Some things never change. I.e.

That was when you and Andy were extending CiderPress...

I have been gone fishing for quite a time since then...

What is the state of CiderPress these days???  Is everyone using Apple
Commander now?

CiderPress lives on. I have been working on AppleCommander to add some specialized features that ADTPro can capitalize on - like integrating and tweaking SHK support to account for the various bugs that shrinkers had perpetrated on us over the years. But mostly that was catching up to CiderPress.

The only thing CiderPress could really use right now is updating of the UI for newer windowses - but obviously I am not at all motivated myself to do that work. It works fine for me, and I find it so useful that I keep a VM around just to run it on my Macs, and of course it's on my Win7 laptop as well. So really, there isn't anything new that I need it to do right now. If I did - I'd fire up the compiler.

The CiderPress UI isn't always the most intuitive thing in the world, but as a programmer - I am in awe of the symphony of code that Andy has created. I just have to add that to the discussion here. I feel like I'm a child with crayons scribbling on his canvas. People only looking at the outside might not get that perspective.

I just don't know what to make of all this:) But I do like Ciderpress.

I like it too, and have every intention of continuing to keep it running alongside AppleCommander. Try this link:
