The main.applescript already does version checking, which is currently the
real place to check what minimum version we want to use.

I only added that string to the Info.plist, because we may want to use it
with AQUA build in the future.

We can remove the code below and the OS will not run the app. The application will simply close. (The icon flashes in the dock.)

We should use one check or the other, not both. It essentially means that we have a check happening twice!

If I remember correctly Eric Bachard has said that Aqua will not run on Mac OS X 10.3 at all.

As we are compiling with gcc4, it may be the case that it will run in Mac OS X 10.3.9, not Mac OS X 10.3 - 10.3.8.


If you want to change the minimum version in OOo, then change the main.plist. But this is not going to be handled by the existing issues, file a new issue
for that.

I've found the code in the lxr:
on preRun()
101
102
103         -- Check for the required version of Mac OS X
104         if (not atLeastOSXVersion(10, 3, 0)) then
105                 display dialog getMessage("ERROR_NEED_PANTHER")
106                 return false
107         end if


I recommend that the minumum version issue is handled separately, not in cws
macosxversioning01

I'm leaving this open to discussion.

After a quick search on line, there appears to be some issues with the way that Launch Services deals with the check. The most notable is that it doesn't work on the very early versions of Mac OS X (10.0 & 10.2). Also some people have problems in it producing a dialog that gives useful information.
