I think that System 6 was the most popular pre-Mac OS 7 version of Mac OS, but being it hard (very hard) to get now, and when you finally do get it, you get something that doesn't have much and is hard to use. I want to improve System 6 and make it better, calling it System 6 Redone (or System 6.1). What I am going to do add new features to the code of System 6 and take out the useless ones. This will possibly turn out very good. I will start with build 1, and move on. Any comments or questions are appreciated.

New Years leaks are starting already by me :cool: :)

Yeah, quick question, how do you plan on decompiling Mac OS 6 to get the code? Do you fully understand what programming language Mac OS 6 is written in, and do you fully understand how to read and write that programming language?
Also, quit talking about how you're leaking things, you don't have anything to leak and we all know you're just talking out of your underside.

OK, I do know the code used by pre-Mac OS 7 versions, and I am changing the plans. This will be a UI customization (new icons, new fonts, updated programs).

For those who don't have FTP access are hard to get it, and the most popular distrubutor of System 6 for free is rolli.ch/macplus but they were shut down.

Are you saying that those (HTTP) links don't work? :?
