			<description><![CDATA[<p>You&#039;ll probably be stuck writing a generic, blocking <a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsopenpanel?language=objc">file dialog box</a> interface in Objective-C, then writing a C wrapper around the Objective-C, and finally writing a Fortran interface to the C wrapper.&nbsp; There will be some issues, though.&nbsp; Notably, modern macOS APIs mostly are non-blocking if I&#039;m not mistaken.&nbsp; I&#039;m also not sure if you can even open a dialog box without first creating a true macOS <a href="https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsapplication?language=objc">NSApplication</a>.&nbsp; Windows doesn&#039;t care if you open a dialog box without a true application running, but I think macOS might care.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In fortran for the Mac, when I want to specify an input file,I have to type in the name, which sometimes can be rather long, leading to typos and such. Is there a way for Simply Fortran to open the standard file selection dialog box for selecting the file? Remember: Mac.</p>]]></description>
