Jun 22, 2017 - Googling seems to bring up swiftforth, vfx forth and powermops. Mac os so I would like something that doesnt bypass the apps-store at least. Jun 10, 2015 - VFX Forth for Mac OS X is a 32 bit x86 Forth built from the same code tree as the Windows and Linux versions; please refer to the common. A Mac that runs 10.6.5 (Snow Leopard) needs a lot of updates, and a lot of Mac users run 10.5, so exFAT does no good for them. On Windows exFAT can only be recognized by Vista SP1 onwards. XP SP2 can work with exFAT as well, but it needs an additional update from Microsoft.

It has played a significant role in the. A in May 2016 led to the evacuation of its residents and caused widespread damage. Formerly a city, Fort McMurray became an urban service area when it amalgamated with Improvement District No. 143 on April 1, 1995, to create the Municipality of Wood Buffalo (renamed the RM of Wood Buffalo on August 14, 1996). Despite its current official designation of urban service area, many locals, politicians and the media still refer to Fort McMurray as a city.

Fort McMurray was known simply as McMurray between 1947 and 1962. View of the valley from Before the arrival of Europeans in the late 18th Century, the Cree were the dominant people in the Fort McMurray area. The were known to the locals and the surface deposits were used to waterproof their canoes. In fur trade days the location of Fort McMurray was an important junction on the from eastern Canada to the Athabasca country. In 1778, the first European explorer, came to the region in search of, as the European demand for this commodity at the time was strong.

Pond explored the region farther south along the and the, but chose to set up a much farther north by the Athabasca River near. However, his post closed in 1788 in favour of, now the oldest continuous settlement in. In 1790, the explorer made the first recorded description of the. By that time, trading between the explorers and the Cree was already occurring at the confluence of the Clearwater and Athabasca Rivers.

The and the were in fierce competition in this region. Fort McMurray was established there as a Hudson's Bay Company post by 1870, named for William McMurray.

It continued to operate as a transportation stopover in the decades afterwards. The arrived in 1915 complementing existing steamboat service. The community has played a significant role in the. Oil exploration is known to have occurred in the early 20th century, but Fort McMurray's population remained small, no more than a few hundred people. By 1921, there was serious interest in developing a refining plant to separate the oil from the sands. Oil Company was the first outfit to begin bulk tests at Fort McMurray.

The nearby community of was established to provide a terminus for waterborne transportation, until 1925, when the reached there. Was the first company to successfully extract oil from the oil sands through hot water extraction by the 1930s, but production was very low. Fort McMurray's processing output gradually grew to over 1,100 barrels/day by, and Fort McMurray was set up by the US and Canadian forces as staging ground for the project. Fort McMurray and Waterways amalgamated as the village of McMurray (the 'Fort' was dropped until 1962, when it was restored to reflect its heritage) by 1947, and became a town a year later. Fort McMurray was granted the status of new town so it could get more provincial funding. By 1966, the town's population was over 2,000. In 1967, the Great Canadian Oil Sands (now Suncor) plant opened and Fort McMurray's growth soon took off.

More oil sands plants were opened up, especially and, when serious political tensions and conflicts in the Middle East triggered oil price spikes. The population of the town reached 6,847 by 1971 and climbed to 31,000 by 1981, a year after its incorporation as a city. The city continued to grow for a few years even after the oil bust caused by the collapse in world oil prices.

The population peaked at almost 37,000 in 1985, then declined to under 34,000 by 1989. Low oil prices since the slowed the oil sands production greatly, as oil extraction from the oil sands is a very expensive process and lower world prices made this uneconomical. Made oil extraction profitable again for around a decade, until another which began in December 2014 and deepened in 2015 resulted in layoffs and postponement of projects. On April 1, 1995, the City of Fort McMurray and Improvement District No.

143 were amalgamated to form the Municipality of Wood Buffalo. The new municipality was subsequently renamed the Regional Municipality (RM) of Wood Buffalo on August 14, 1996.
