As for my previous message, I happily defer to Bhaskar's reply. There was a
porting to Mac OS X, but it was never completely tested (what was tested
looked very good). Perhaps it can be done again, if the results do not run
afoul of Fidelity's Open Source License.
I remember Bhaskar talking about this bilateral GT.M/Oracle availability and
the evaluation period Sanchez extends to their clients and the high degree
of client satisfaction is characteristic of the quality that
Sanchez/Fidelity has put into their products including GT.M. Very cool.

laptop used for development was "redeployed" for other uses. He says they
can do it again when time allows.
