Report on installing on Mac OSX
YES! very nice. Everything I've tried worked great.
I put a symbolic link in my /usr/local/bin, and used the
new BINPATH in my personal profile.ijs and all of it
seems to stick together and couldn't be easier to install.
Thanks - joe

Mac Intel, and Mac Powerpc.
The bbeta is a cleanup of the installer packaging and does not
include a new J Engine or scripts.
J32 Windows no longer requires vcredist. J64 Windows (not yet
available) will require vcredist.
Linux installer is a tar.gz file.
Mac installer is a disk images.
There are new J icons. The icons in the various formats, colors, and
sizes have been provided by Ric Sherlock. There will probably be one
more iteration with the Windows icons to make the J a tad smaller
and move it up and to the right so that it looks better with the
link arrow.
Lab Application Distribution - Installer has been reworked to
reflect the new platform specific J installers. Please take a look.
It is interesting that the Mac has moved from most awkward to most
elegant.
With luck the installer issues are resolved with this beta and we
can then move along to engine and script issues.
