The Apple Computer Inc Cat-in-the-Hat project, which will see the Apple ToolBox, Apple’s crown jewels and the source of the Macintosh under interface, implemented for IBM Corp, Hewlett-Packard Co and Sun Microsystems Inc systems, is thought to be nearing completion. Sources hear that internationalisation work is under way, which is usually the last task before release. Apple’s own effort does not bode well for the clutch of Macintosh-on-Unix houses like Echo Logic Inc, Xcelerated Systems Inc and Quorum Software Systems Inc.
