Hugs under MacOS X 10.2 (was Re: Hugs help)

[Johan Nordlander]

The MacOS X binaries on the Hugs download page have recently been  
updated to comply with 10.2.  Just download and reinstall, and you  
should be fine.

Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that these new binaries are incompatible  
with system versions prior to 10.2.  The best thing would of course  
have been to keep both binary versions for download.  But a new Hugs  
release is imminent anyway, and the download page is quite crowded as  
it is.

Getting Hugs running on a pre-10.2 Mac just requires a recompilation,  
though.  Just download the source distribution, open the file  
"Install", search for "MacOS X", and follow the instructions.

All the best,
Johan
