Fantastic... Can't emphasise that enough. Great 
work Bob, I look forward to seeing Civil run on 
my Mac...

Ah, go on!  I promise to code sensibly and use 
128x128 if I'm on the mac, and lo-res if I'm 
elsewhere! ;-P

Hmmm, could be difficult to find a Mac without 
the dev tools on this list! ;-) 

I may be able to help tho; a fleet of iMacs with 
10.1.2 is just a phone call away (my fiancee's 
brother). He's not a programmer, but he know's 
more about Macs than anyone I've met and he's 
always happy to download new toys...

I agree with you on this, although I wouldn't be 
surprised if this gets added as a request to the 
fink guys (it's already there I think..?)

Anyway, thanks for the outstanding effort. I'm 
getting all excited now...
