Here is a patch (and README) that allows cdat-3.1c2
to build on Mac OS 10.1 or higher. You must have
the dev tools installed, as well as XFree86 and g77
(the latter two are available as part of the fink
distribution, see http://fink.sf.net\). As discussed
in the README, there are a few problems. Most
notably, vcs occasionally crashes since XFree86
on OS X currently does not support threads. I would
apppreciate any feedback from other OS X users who are
bold enough to try this out.

    I've rebuilt my Xserver to be threaded and now VCS works fine.

    I've put up a web page with detailed instructions for
    building on OS X

    Do not use this patch with 3.2; when 3.2 is released a new
    set of instructions will be posted that are much simpler.
