Hi Paul,

I agree

OK

>Stephano you might just want to install horae-036 on top of the new

I am working on two computers, one at work, the other at home. On the 
Mac I have in the office I have NOT installed Ifeffit 1.2.6, and 
things are fairly OK (with sporadic program crashes) using 1.2.5a and 
building from source as Matt indicated. Notice that in this way I am 
running Artemis 0.7.003, little problems, with some kicks on the side 
of the computer (!) I get fits done.
On the other hand, the installation on the computer at home that I 
tried last night is a clean installation using the 1.2.6 binary 
installer released yestarday by Matt. Therefore, I will not touch 
anything on the Mac in the office until I see that on the other 
computer things are smooth using the latest release. I will try what 
Paul suggested only on my Mac at home, but will do so only this 
evening.

will do so later tonight. Thanks!
Stefano
