[Xerte] Xerte3: on Mac?

[Julian Tenney]

Looking in the zinc help, it seems there isn't a right lot to do to put
in mac / windows versions. Most of the time the code is the same, so no
need to do the if (mac) then (getProperComputer) stuff in many cases.

Should this work?

 

Two thoughts:

1) Are there any other Mac users out there who might want to use Xerte

natively on their machine? If so: perhaps we can share the costs for the

plugin. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get some financial help from my

boss ...

2) I think it is not so easy to just create Xerte as a web application,

so we can just use it in a browser?
