Try sending will@tr*.co* some mail asking him to port
Zplan :-)  If it runs under linux, the port to a Mac can't
be too hard.  You may not get a mac-like proggy with nifty
windows and dialog boxes, but Codewarrior comes with a
simple shell window library to handle command-line interface
ports from unix, etc.
 
He'd own the Mac dive market if he did it.  I've tried before
to get Decom ported (I own a DOS (spit) version), but they
aren't interested (also its written in VisualBasic (I think) which
is not so directly portable although RealBasic is now out for the Mac
which is supposed to be pretty darned close)), and the Abyss port
seems to have died off somewhere in the various restructurings at
Apple over the past few years.  I believe Zplan is written
in C (easiest to port), so it may just be Will needs to think there are
enuf people who would use it.  I would.  Much better than firing
up Decom under an emulator.
