Porting a DOS app to Mac OS

I hate to sound like a noob lol, but I was wondering how I would rebuild a DOS application's C++ source code file(s) on Mac without changing any of the code inside Xcode. I have the following files that were given to me, by a windows user:
dialog.aps
dialog.rc
dns.h
dproxy.h
spsof.c
spsof.dsp
spsof.dsw
spsof.ncb
spsof.opt
spsof.plg
The DOS program is all command line, and is used for my game cube to connect to the pc while this "proxy" program is running. I know it is a bit confusing, and if anyone thinks they can help or needs more info I will gladly send you the files to see what can be done. I am not exatly sure where to put all the files under in Xcode. Any help would be great!
PowerMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

DOS socket libraries aren't quite the same as real BSD sockets. I'd say it's extremely, extremely improbable that this program will work without changes.
And that's why I wrote "you won't be able to do it."
Somebody with network programming experience could make it work.

Porting an iPhone app to a desktop app

I am new to objective C and Cocoa, and yet have managed to develop a pretty complex app for the iPhone.
Being lazy, I would like to also run this on a Mac Pro for instance, or other Mac computers/laptops.
Is there a simple way for me to "port" my iPhone app to the desktop?
Thanks.

Well its not necessarily easy, and you also have to think about rewriting your views for Mac OS X, and not the iPhone, and also keep in mind you have to have a completely different interface in Mac OS X compared to the iPhone. Note that something complex in a mobile device might not be complex at all on a full desktop environment. But considering you have already created the application for the iPhone, you know where your headed and have your objects planned out, and also saying that you can program Mac in the same coding language, it should be easier than scratch right?

Text-to-speech no longer working in any PDF apps in Mac 10.8.5.

Text-to-speech is no longer working in any PDF apps in Mac 10.8.4/5. Does anyone know the software component that passes highlight text over to the speech synthesiser? How is this process different in PDF's compared to any other text format?
So far I have tried Preview, Skim, PDFView, Safari, Evernote and Adobe Reader with the result: silence. The only defference being Adobe Reader which speaks the name of the document and not the highlighted text. I've re-applied the Mac OS10.8.5 como-update, fixed prefs, ran FSCheck and changed user. I've tried every method of triggering the text-to-speech function (including custom scripts). Text-to-speech works perfectly in every other respect exept when working with PDF's. When Maveriks arrives I will do a clean install and rebuild my data manually which I'm pretty certain will fix the problem but it would be extremely rewarding to find an actual solution and learn something in the process.

Rawr! I got it to work, sort of. I think I tried so hard because I hated the thought of using alsa-oss. And I discovered a couple bugs in spd-conf! Does anyone care? lol
Basically, I redid my TTS-related configs & put them under ~/ instead of /usr/share, and ran "festival --server" & "speech-dispatcher -s" as a normal user. I also added myself to the "audio" group somewhere along the line, but I don't think that was the issue.
I'm almost afraid to reboot, because, although speech-dispatcher can be started at boot-time through rc.conf's DAEMONS array, I don't think festival can---at least, not in the same way as it can on distros that have the script /etc/default/festival. I'm about to see if I can track down that file, and hope I don't break everything somehow.
KTTSMgr still doesn't see any synthesizers, but I got past the "dummy module" message. Now I'm hoping I'll get some help from someone who actually knows what to do (as opposed to me).
Take care, all
H
P.S One small complaint: Although my speechd.conf specified port 6561, speech-dispatcher's tests showed that it was looking for a connection on port 6560 first, before scanning to find the real port. I had to change to port 6560 to stop the behaviour, even though I never customized the port number in the first place.

I have a MBPro mid 2013 with 1 Thunderbolt port. Just bought a Mac monitor and want to daisy chain a PC monitor to it. Use a Mini DVI to VGA adapter from MBP to PC monitor. How do I daisy chain the 2 monitors?

Hall Palm Desert,
if your Mac monitor has Thunderbolt ports, and the PC monitor is on the end of the daisy chain, then you might be able to do it by connecting your PC monitor’s VGA cable to a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter (e.g. Apple, NewerTech), connecting that cable’s Mini DisplayPort end to one of the Mac monitor’s Thunderbolt ports, and then connecting a Thunderbolt cable between the other port on the Mac monitor and your MacBook Pro.

Can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

Hello, can't see some letters from my Gmail box in Mail.app in MAC OS 10.8.5.

The solution was to remove all versions of Acrobat Pro and reinstall Acrobat Pro XI. I still had the download file in my Time Machine backup. That's a good thing, since the download link from the order listing on the Adobe website under my account would not work.
The problems don't occur with version 11.0.0. I got the work done, now I'm updating to 11.1.0 and will report if they came back.

Same problem here in Brazil.
It seems to be a problem with logging in App Store in the Mac (Yosemite 10.10.2).
When I tried the very same userid and password I was able to login in to use my iCloud account from the same computer and also from my iPhone.

You have to log into iPhone App Store and purchase the iPhone version of the apps. Mac apps only run on Macs, iOS apps only run on iPhone/iPads/iPods.

Is there a way to pass files to a LV app in Mac OS X?

There is an option in the Finder in Mac OS X to open files with the specified application. I tried it with my LV app, but unfortunately I haven't found any way to read out the filename passed to the app.
(The Application/Command Line Arguments Property didn't work in this case.)
Has anyone ever tried to pass files to a LV app in Mac OS X? I mean not in the command line but in the Finder.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
When I understand this right - and as I am not so much of a MAC Expert - you want to do the following:
1. You are in a file finder, where you can click on files an select: "open with ProgrammXY"
2. That ProgrammXY should be a LabVIEW App you created that can open files for Analysis.
3. The LabVIEW App catches from somewhere the path-string and name of the file that was selected to be opened with your LabVIEWApp, like from some
kind of property node or function.
4. How to do that?
I do not think that is possible, at least I do not know a way to do that in Windows so I doubt there is a way to do that in MAC OS.
<<Anyway, it could even be an empty App, the main question is if it is even possible to get the filename in a LV App if we open it in Finder.
When you cannot configure the Finder in a way so that he writes the file name as a command line parameter in the opening call .- exuse me if that is not MAC vocabulary - I do not see a way how to do this.

René

II am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

I am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

PogoPossum,
My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
Does this help?

Air Display app for Mac Air???

Will Air Display app for Mac enable me to use my Mac Air display on a larger, Windows monitor? Thanks.

Yes, but not the Mac app, the Windows app. Just buy the Windows version of the Air Display app from the Avatron web site: http://getairdisplay.com, and download the free Air Display video drivers for your Mac.
You can try the Windows app for free for up to an hour of connection before deciding whether or not to buy.
Cheers,
