David Gohara built 0.1 with dialbox support for Mac.
He gave me (and us) the support library that provided the events to
which Coot could then make attachments. However, I never had the Mac
compiling skills to make it build (I did try :).
AFAICS, the majority of the work that needs to be done is getting the
dialbox and the X-server to communicate. The extra code needed in Coot
is (I judge) a matter of an hour or so's work.
The sgi dialbox does not work with USB, I think. That is another problem.
