Well, the poll results go only so far as they apply to existing 
installations. I got a new MC license for a client. The client failed 
to install it following the instructions. I found that the problem 
was them lacking an old OSX bundle, a situation not mentioned in the 
instructions, which prompted my post. I do not have such a bundle 
either as I use MC under OS9 (and will be in the same situation when 
finally upgrade to OSX).

I can't see OSX 2.5 install on Mark's mirror, so I used 2.4.3 version 
to start with. The upgrade to 2.5.1 works fine except that the name 
of the executable within the bundle is different.

I think it would be reasonable to add a sentence about new installs 
for OSX and a link to Mark's web site as a resource.
