Björnke,

Thanks for the information.  I run Macs at home.  Exclusively.

However, it was removed with 4.0, so it's only available in the versions of 3.5 and less. Currently that is not that big of a problem, as most of the 4.0 changes that weren't engine ports (php-like webserver and browser-plugin) where for gui stuff. One notable exception is the very very very old external for sqlite, but you can use the updated one from 4.0.
