For reasons I don’t know, jsoftware seemed to prefer that j64-805 (and earlier versions, too) go into the installing user’s home folder. But I see that as of today, the sierra-fix.command file now treats the install folder as /Applications/j64-805 (but includes the alternative location ~/j64-805 as a commented-out line there), and that the instructions at http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation/All-in-One <http://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation/All-in-One> for Mac now say to drag the j64-805 folder to /Applications. That now nicely comports with where most Mac apps go by default. —— Murray Eisenberg [email protected] Mathematics & Statistics Dept.
