Frontier began to be developed in the late 1980s. Based on Pascal syntax, and having much integration with the Finder, UserLand had attempted to have Apple acquire the product. However, terms could not be agreed upon. In the end, Apple and UserLand decided to create separate, but compatible, products. This download contains the first release of Frontier, which did well, until Apple released their product, AppleScript. UserLand struggled to compete with the freely available product, and had difficulties trying to keep their product compatible with AppleScript, something Apple did little help. Though it was originally a commercial product, it was released as open source under the GPL license in 2004. Versions can be found for both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X, as well as Windows, here: http://frontierkernel.org/ UserLand still exists, and continues to develop Manilla and Radio UserLand, both web publishing products.
