Specimen mark
This is the living-port mark: same GoldED identity, but tied explicitly to the current macOS line instead of pretending one logo has to do every job on the site.
History. Source. Archive.
The macOS port is where GoldED stops being purely historical.
This page is for the updated macOS line: what changed, what stayed faithful, and how the port carries old editor behavior into a modern environment without becoming a parody of itself.

Bridge between preservation and reinvention.
What belongs here
- Current status of the port
- Source location and build notes
- Design decisions that preserve recognizability
Why it matters
Because “it used to exist” is not the same thing as “it still lives.” The port proves the difference.
