Tim,
Can I direct people to Brad when they ask about the Mac OS X port, a couple
of people have asked who is doing the port, but I don't know if I should
bother Brad too much?
Steve.

We've had nearly 10 requests for SURF/Starlink on OS X in the past month.
Brad is working on this on a "best efforts" basis. He's about 3/4 way
through all the infrastructure libraries but may not be able to work on
it further in the near future.
At this rate I wouldn't expect a release until late Spring. It'll probably
take a week if he was working on it full time.
I can ask him to write up his experiences and send the modified files
to this list if Starlink are going to take over the rest of the port.
