Thanks for letting me in to this group. I am a computer hobbyist mostly repairing old things and recently I have rediscovered the old Macs again. I now have a Macintosh SE and Classic, and while working I wanted to do something useful with them.
So I ventured into two projects, one is a Graphical IDE, like the Borland C Builder from old days. As for now it runs under Windows, but as it's .NET based I could probably get it running in Linux or OS-X. It uses the Retro68 compiler and is able to run the project in an emulator straight from the IDE, and even on a mac connected with a serial cable.
github.com
There are some tutorials on how to build an actual working application.
Then the next program which is a bit of a spinoff is a tool like Laplink that transits files over a serial link. I called it RetroLink and plan to support most targets I can. It works now between Windows, MS-DOS and System 7. (Yes, given the proper adapter you can also let System 7 talk with DOS).

Tell me if it's useful to you, would be nice to know. Also if you have change requests (I have limited time, but sometimes I can work on it, it's a hobby you know)
