Patrick, et al,

I usually use CdC on my WinXP machines, but my laptop is getting a
little old now and proportionally slower, so I decided to revisit CdC
on OSX. I have a brand new MacPro w/ OSX 10.4.11 on which CdC runs
really great! So now I'm planning to take my MacPro out to the field
on my next observing session which will require a CdC-scope connection.

So here's the issue...

Non-Windows versions of CdC are using INDI to talk to scopes (at least
on Linux). I have successfully compiled INDI on OSX and gotten it to
work under XEphem (another fine and free star charting program for
UNIX-like machines, but nowhere near as easy to use as CdC!!!).

Since CdC is working on OSX and INDI is working on OSX, is it possible
to enable INDI on the OSX version of CdC? Perhaps this is already in
the code/available? But I have not found a way to configure it nor any
docs on how this can be done.

This is the final step to bring a fully functional OSX version of CdC
to all those Mac users!! (OK, not that many, I guess, but we're a
growing population.)
