Ben, (et al.): I'm going to check out the Panther compatibility and will advise whether the package works or not. 10.2 is at end-of-life, so no packages will be added to that tree. If somebody who still has a 10.2 system wants to play around with it, they certainly may (I don't have a 10.2 environment available). And at minimum, there needs to be a note in the description regarding the "install command-line tool" command for the Aqua app, since that plunks a unision executable in /usr/bin. It would be better to disable that feature, of course. -- Alexander K.
