AltME on Apple Macintosh OSX
Safeworlds has just released a test version of AltME that runs on
Apple OSX systems.
This version has all the capabilities and power of AltME on
other platforms. However, it still has a few rough edges.
(See below.)
If you want to try the test version, you can give it a try, but
please tell us how well it works on their OSX systems.
Go to the AltME Beta Test Page
for download details.
Special Notes
AltME for OSX was built on a special pre-release test version of
REBOL SDK (the system that powers AltME). It is quite usable; however,
there are a few known problems in this test release:
- The program is not an OSX bundle. You run it as a single program file.
- The program requires the OSX Terminal. On some systems it will start
by clicking on the icon; however, you may need to start it from the
terminal shell.
- When prompted to install, use the "run from the current location" option.
- Users have reported that the main window may get "stuck" at the top.
We are not sure what causes this problem, but we have been told that if
you minimize the Terminal window, it will work.
- Sound features are not operating at this time.
- Some file launch features (clicking on an icon) may not be working quite
yet.
