Dear René,

This was a change on my proposal, ooRexx5.0.0 is somewhat over specified and 
will be incorrect as soon as ooRexx 5.0.1 arrives. ooRexx5 is sufficient to 
separate it from ooRexx 4.

If you try one of the dmg installers I have built here 
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p66c7g01h4jz5ss/AAAZd_Q2yQddrTHagxPo_UiTa?dl=0> you 
can actually just double click the dmg and then drag the entire „app“ to 
wherever you want it, the installation bundle appears as a single file on macOS.

The latest installers also include the PDF documentation btw. 

The default installation to ~/Applications poses two problems:

1: ~/Applications does not exist on a freshly installed macOS

2: The user needs to amend the path to make the installation fly.

<Flame resistant suit on>

Problem 1 goes away with an install to /Applications instead of ~/Applications

Since the installation is atomic it can be dragged to the bin so there is no 
uninstall process necessary.

And, I just checked - you do not need elevated rights to install into 
/Applications

Just an idea…

<Flame resistant suit off>

Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse,
