[Ham-Mac] Re: Mac Software for PSK31

[Mike Carter]

Yep, Chris is right. I use both CodeWarrior (C/C++) and RealBasic. I've 
successfully "ported" my USB device driver module to RealBasic using 
their notes to create a "plug-in", but it's not the most graceful way. 
RealBasic is great for fast prototyping and for apps that don't need to 
mess around with the kernel at all. Otherwise it's best to write in 
C/C++....especially for sound routines.
