Interesting to read about the issue. This is my first time posting source code on git written on a vintage machine. Honestly the source code tracking, the way Ive done it, is not very useful. I dont blame git and I can’t say there aren’t ways to configure it to be more useful.

Classic Macintosh also used “data forks” and “resource forks” as part of all files. I know Windows strips the resource fork part (by accident as it has no awareness of it) — so any Macintosh file that uses its resource fork will be broken. This includes the THINKC project file and the .rsrc file in the repo! Tldr - anyone interested in using the source code should just grab the .sit file and bring it to their emulator/or vintage machine and unstuff it there to preserve resource forks. But anyone in the vintage mac space knows all this by now :). Sharing it as fyi here! So proud to see my little app make HN!!!!

You could run DockApp.rsrc through DeRez (DeRez DockApp.rsrc Types.r) to get a usable (with Rez) text file.
