Not exactly.  There is a bug in the space group browser that is
manifested using perl/Tk 804, which is what was used to build the Mac
installer.  I have been cleaning up syntax problems related to the
upgrade to 804 as I become aware of them.  Now I am aware of the ones
in the space group browser.

It's not difficult to fix, but as I said yesterday, I won't have time
to do so for many weeks.  You will just have to consider the space
group browser to be broken on the Mac in the latest release.

As for the fit button not working, I just pressed it on my G4.  It
worked fine for me.  I am getting weary of explaining on this list how
to submit a bug report, but I'll run over the salient points ... one
.... more ... time:

  1.  If I cannot reproduce your problem, I cannot solve it.
  2.  Explain to me what actions you took leading up to the problem
      you are reporting.
  3.  Send me any information, trap files are certainly a good start,
      that will help me understand what went wrong.
  4.  Send me a project file so I can see the problem happen on one of
      my computers.
  5.  If I cannot reproduce your problem, I cannot solve it.  I know I
      said that already, but it seems I cannot say it enough -- I
      still regularly get "bug reports" that are little more "It done
      got broke."

Here again is the whole story on bug reports:
   http://leonardo.phys.washington.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/bugs.html
Read the links in the "How to report bugs" box.  They're there for a
reason. 

Although I won't be able to address your bug report soon, it will not
be ignored.  I will be keeping track of the bug reports that come in
while I am gone.
