[be] Re: Bibledit 3.2 on OS X

[Mark Duling]

Tues,

No problem at all.  I just used your instructions to script those installation procedure modifications into the bibledit MacPort just now when I updated it from 2.8 to 3.2.10.  It installs fine now.  I don’t actually use Bibledit, I just notice when some ports I’m aware of get out of date and fix them.  Thanks for your help.

Mark
