…Have I just hit this problem?

Just downloaded: j806_mac64.zip
 from: www.jsoftware.com/download/j806/install/
and installed it as: /Applications/j64-806

I launch: jcon.app

…Apple Terminal opens and displays:
——————————————————————————————

ian-clarks-imac:~ ianclark$ /Applications/j64-806/bin/jconsole ; exit;
Illegal instruction: 4

...completed.

[Process completed]

…and immediately exits.

Contrast this with what happens with jconsole in j805 -- I get just the
first 2 lines, followed by a J prompt.

Plus Apple Console gives me a crash report (attached -- but does it get
stripped off a forum email like this?)

The same thing happens if I launch the following executable by
double-clicking it:
/Applications/j64-806/bin/jconsole

Since AFAICT all IDEs call jconsole, nothing else works -- so no surprise
about that.

I notice you mention: "an avx binary JE on a non-avx platform". Is this
something under my control? (I'd guess not).

Oh, and one more thing…
AFAICT the green J icon: /Applications/j64-806/jqt.app
tries to execute an absent file: /Applications/j64-806/bin/jqt.command

I'm running: OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 on an iMac(24-inch, Early
2009).

Send me an Xcode project, if there's something I can help with, like
recompiling a new jconsole executable. I gather Macs are in short supply on
this list.
