I am stuck with an oldish mac - Leopard OS which does not support java6 32 bit on intel or ppc. Is there any chance that it can be made to work with java 1.5? do you really need java6 features???

    OpenCards does not yet run on MacOS. I'm currenlty investigating this problem. However, I don't have the time to support ikd outdated java 1.5.

    Cheers, Holger
