• Mac OS X/Aqua: There is now a universal binary available for download and testing on Intel based Macs. Due to the latest advances in Tcl/Tk 8.4.14 it should also run on Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3! Please test it and report, whether this works on your machine.

I expect the real current LOC number to be in the range of 150.000 (not 250.000), and the project cost to be around 2.000.000 USD (not 3.700.000 USD).

  In this screenshot the various elements depend on one NURBS curve via references or even references of objects depending on references to the original curve object.

• In the last month many problems were solved in the Aqua version of Ayam so that it is now available as a first class application on that platform (with more or less complete integration into the UI wrt icons, document types, installation method via DMG, AppleScript support).
