No, never. I kindly posted our unit in the Mac-Pascal mailling list so
that it could be included in all Pascal compilers and yet some people
there decided to ignore it and duplicate our efforts by launching a
different translation of the headers. So they have proven that it's
impossible to colaborate with them, and if we need to change anything
in their unit I would bet it will be a huge problem.

They even created a unit with the same name as my original, which
generates a namespace conflict, but Jonas kindly renamed their unit in
the FPC copy of it.
