Hello !

1. After reading Pascal's FAQ, I was left with the impression that I
don't need X11 to install Scid on my new OSX.

The ./configure did not complain, but the make did complain a lot !
Since most of its rant is crafty-related, I continued the test.  But
now, scid does not find tkscid.

Instead of pursuing my test, I ask here the question :

-- Is it possible (more to the point : easy) to install OSX on aqua ?

My hypothesis is that it is, since there exists a project called
TclTkAqua.  Am I right ?  If it would it be easy to do, I am willing
to try.  But I won't try if I can stumble upon a conceptual problem
that my ignorance is not forseeing yet.

2.  And since we are here : Someone told this mailing list (I believe
it is at the beginning of last summer)  that he was willing to
"carbonize" scid.  What is happening with that ?  Again, if that is
not too complicated, I could try to tackle this problem.  I think I
would then need some Un*x savvy to help me translate the
idiosyncrasies, if there are any.

3.  This idea of porting Scid to OSX without having to install X11 is
motivated by security and simplicity reasons.  Last Mac I had was
(gently, but still) hijacked by the hole a simple-stupid X11
installation creates.  More importantly, it would be great not to rely
on geeky-stuff to use scid !

Grats to Pascal, Alexander, and all those who entertain this mailing list

I wish all of you a Happy New Year !
