Version 1.2.0 Not working with Mono for Mac

[rcross]

I understand there is not a strong expectation for this, but I had hopes.

I'm on Intel MacBook, running Ventura 13.2 and installed Mono 6.12.0 and tried running CardMaker v.1.2.0 from the gui and terminal, both the CardMaker.exe and CardMaker_Mono.exe, none of them worked.

Looks like something with reference to Carbon driver is the problem, but that may just be a general/unrelated warning.

The carbon driver issue appears to be accurate and windows forms may never be supported. I test the mono based functionality "lightly" by using VirtualBox to run Ubuntu.

CardMaker used to run on the Mac but as things have changed over the years mono + .NET forms functionality just rotted away. :(

Thanks. I figured that might be the case, and at least its definitively captured here to save others
