What is MacCheck?

Post by marciot42 »

Hello all,

I looking through the Mini vMac source code I see a lot of references to a program called MacCheck. This seems like something that might be useful for the work I am doing.

Does anyone know where I can get this program? MacintoshGarden does not have it.

Assuming this is not some 1989 cheque-writing program for vMac, is it this ( free it seems ):

MicroMat's app doesn't have much applicability to 1980s hardware (particularly since it came out just this year and the source file with all the MacCheck references in it was last modified four years ago).

It's much more likely to be this:

There's no earthly way of knowing, which direction we are going, for the rowers keep on rowing, and they're certainly not showing any signs that they are slowing.

Kind of like Apple/s Gatekeeper mimicking the Gatekeeper INIT of old, Micromat's MacCheck seems to have an awfully similar feature set to Apple's MacCheck....
