I certinly have no objection, but it would seem likely to cost as much to
update the Mac-only version (OS X is a _very_ different animal than Classic)
as it would to just rewrite it in Transcript, and a Mac-only version have a
much smaller audience (most folks choose Rev for its multi-platform
capabilities).
