Irv,

thanks for pointing that out.

As for the leJOS 3.0 release candidate, the distributions available for 
download are linked by the operating systems they support - here theere 
should ensue no uncertainty about Mac OSX not being supported, as 
there's no link provided (we tried to produce a Mac OSX version, but 
sadly could not find developers owning a Mac who were actually 
contributing a working version).
I agree with you that once leJOS 3.0 is out and labeeled as the official 
release, a note regarding the Mac thing should be provided explicitely 
on the leJOS page.

As for leJOS 2.1.0, the actual situation is somewhat unclear to me.
The release has taken place almost four years ago and if I recall 
correctly, 2.1.0 was meant to work on Mac then.
However, obviously it does not (not completely?) work on OSX 10.4.
(I can't do any test here by myself, being not in possession of a Mac).
If this is the case, a hint on the leJos page will be helpful indeed.
Some experiences of other Mac-people with this?

Regards and thanks again,
   Matthias Paul
