Ah, it's nothing so bad.  Current versions of OS X ship with 8.4 and  
it runs fine.  I just wanted to use a couple file operations that were  
not introduced until 8.4.  I was afraid this might break folks on  
linux or window but since you say they should be on 8.4+ also, this  
should not be an issue.

Thanks again,
