[Xerte] Xerte3: on Mac?

[Julian Tenney]

Try this one instead:

http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~cczjrt/macX3.zip

We just ran it on the Mac (crikey, how do you work those things?) in our
graphics studio, and it works, Pat will send some pics in a minute.
There's a few things to sort out. Maybe you guys can look in the code
and tell me what needs to change?

I would love to use xerte natively on my mac and I would be happy to
contribute some money to help make this possible.

By the way I can't download the xerte3mac.zip as I'm getting 'page not
found'. What is this anyway?

Cheers

Mark
