Help with FFI's

Hello,

I would like to use Squeak to develop a MAC application that needs to access the address book and the calendar on a local machine.  I have been able to access these items with Objective C but I was wondering if there was a way that I can do it in Squeak.  I have read the information about FFI but this seems to not be supported in Squeak any more.  Can someone point me to a reference or tell me if this is not a good idea?

Thanks in advance,

Using the Objective-C Bridge is likely a lot easier than FFI (which is only for C bindings):
