I've been paying very little attention over the last several years to
Mac-related programming tools, but I just opened a tgz file to peer into
it and found .m files. WTF are .m files, and how do I work on them?

Little attention indeed!

They're objective-C files.

If you you go to developer.apple.com and search on ".m" the 4th hit is
"MyQuartzView.m" which is Cocoa sample code. Cocoa is the "framework",
Obj-C is the language. I'm sure you can get more info on the Apple site
(and through Google).

With a text editor. They're Objective-C implementation files. Header
files retain the .h extension from C. Someone will hammer me for
oversimplifying, but Objective-C is essentially C with a relatively
small set of Smalltalk-inspired extensions to support OOP.

Apple's got some readable if somewhat contrived tutorials on their
developer site and there are several good books available. Google
"Hillegass" if you like to dive right in.

Fair enough. Thanks to you and Mr. Petschauer. The program I've got
the source code for has enough annoying bugs that I'm looking into this.
