Steve & Al,
there is a version of our DIPSO working under OS X, but I don't have it.
I remote controlled some chap into adding the few extra dependencies
beyond those I needed for GAIA and he successfully built it, said it
worked and that's the last I heard.
If this is important/politic I could try the same technique on Al (this
would not be using the classic CVS however).
Peter.
