I removed macosx and created macos instead, since 2016 macOS is what Apple call its baby. > > For Windows, all files related to the installer are put in > platform/windows/install.

Check <snip> Regarding the icon Rony provided us with the provenance.

Here the log ++ svn info --show-item revision ../oorexxSVN + svn_revision=12149 ++ date +%Y-%m-%d + current_date=2021-02-08 + cp dmgInstaller/ooRexx5.dmg dmgInstaller/ooRexx5.0.0-12149-2021-02-08.dmg + rm -f dmgInstaller/ooRexx5.dmg A related last question Q8: Should there be an indication that this is a 64 bit build? (For macOS there is no 32 builds no more possible so it is implicit) > Rick > > > Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse, > P.O.
