Gracias, John - Comforting to know what's up. Any ideas on what prevents the .95 binary from launching on my aged machine? First time I've encountered this problem.

Re: [Factor-talk] Factor 0.95 now available
Hi - Success! I moved the old .factor files out of the way, scrapped the first try Factor .95 folder, re-ran the git one-liner and the fresh factor.app brought up the listener with no errors. The contents of the Factor folder built from git sports the following items not appearing in the .95 binary Factor folder: -files: boot.unix-x86.32.image, factor.image.fresh, GNUmakeile, Nmakefile; -folders: build-support, unmaintained, vm I don't know if they are necessary, so I'm not gonna touch them while I check my .94 project code compatibility. Any thoughts on the differences? I'll keep you posted, if anything unrecoverable pops up. Thanks so much to all for your work.
