Scott - You could bridge the gap by using VirtualPC until an installer is constructed. That has the added benefit that you can also run windows xp or 2000 pro and PC linux (redhat, debian) simultaneously with OSX. It makes for a very flexible system, you can run almost anything, and furthermore the actions on the PC can be controlled by applescript on the mac side. On a fast mac with lots of memory, speed is adequate for most purposes, and the more you run it the faster it gets (instruction cache). I do these things my tibook and it works fine. A dual processor G5 should really work well. best wishes - grant bunker On Tue, 19 Aug 2003 ifeffit-request@millenia.cars.aps.anl.gov wrote:

Hi all,

I'm very pleased to see all the activity on the list regarding an IFEFFIT installer for OS X, and I appreciate very much the thought that has gone into this issue. Unfortunately, decision time is upon me. I need to decide within a day or two whether to go with Macs or PCs in my new faculty position. If someone can tell me there will be some sort of installer (either requiring Fink or not) by September 15, I'll go with Macs. If not, I'll have to go with PCs.
