That is great news! I believe that VG can simplify the UI and
improve the looks and experience for any kind of apps, like it does
for DrGeo.<br>

In November 2022, I integrated UnicodeString. Since them, anywhere
you may expect an instance of String, you may instead get an
instance of UnicodeString. This hasn't brought much trouble, as they
are polymorphic. But a few tweaks here and there were needed. Last
commit to FFI.pck.st is from Jan 6 and it was specifically for this.<br>
<br>
On my Intel Mac, using an updated Cuis, and loading `Feature
require: 'Tests-FFI'`, all the FFI test pass. Do they pass on your
Apple Silicon Mac?<br>

<div>Can we still load dylibs (rather than only bundles) on Macs?</div>

<br>
I believe we can. Not too long ago, before Apple dropped support for
OpenCL, I used it extensively, and I believe it was a dylib.
Nowadays, I'm not using FFI much.<br>
<br>
Can you help me reproduce what you are doing on my Mac? I'd like to
see it running on a Cuis from the date it did work from you, and
also reproduce your updated setup to see the failure.<br>
<br>
Do you get a debugger? Error messages? Something on the Transcript
or StdIO (in Terminal)?<br>
<br>
If I can reproduce your setup and the problems you see, I'm sure
we'll fix them.<br>
