swarm can be run on a mac with no problem if you install linux on it. A
solution is an extra hardrive. Nevertheless I find that OSX could become
a good platform for developing swarm models because both swarm and osx
have objectiv-c in common, and Apple provides very nice free apps to
develop in objectiv-c. This reason, beside the planet screensaver, can
justified the porting of swarm to OSX. But, I think, we have to wait for
the official release of the new version of gcc tcltk and blt that
should support OSX.

Hi,
About a month or so ago there was some discussion regarding a port of
Swarm to MacOS X. As a non-hacker, my impression is that
there are still significant hurdles to using Swarm on MacOS X. Is this
correct ?
I am considering buying a Mac, not specifically for using Swarm, but I
wonder how close (or how far !) a Swarm port may be, if at all.
Would it be fair to say at this stage that there is no imminent solution
(ie: don't hold my breath !) ?
Thanks,
Andre
