[PyMOL] Testing Native OSX Port

[DeLano, W. <wa...@su...>]

Friends,

I need some volunteers to test a pre-release OSX port on their Mac =
hardware.  This is to determine whether or not the core module is stable =
across a range of hardware systems.  The native port typically offers =
10-50X better OpenGL performance than existing versions.

If you want be a tester, then please respond to me directly with an =
exact description of your hardware, including the type of graphics card =
you have. =20

You will need a G4 based machine with a graphics accelerator card (most =
Macs have one).  MacOSX 10.1.x is likely required.  Most importantly, =
you will need a fast internet connection (T1/Cable/1.5Mb DSL) capable of =
downloading a ***50 MB*** disk image.=20

Note that this early port does NOT contain any menus or buttons other =
than those which exist inside the OpenGL window.  Thus, although the =
port is fully functional for graphics, editing, scripting, and =
rendering, the external GUI features are nonexistent.  You will need to =
use the command line (pwd, cd, ls, & load) to navigate the file system =
and open files.

The native port is completely separate from GNU/Darwin and will not =
conflict if you have the GNU/Darwin version of PyMOL installed.

Cheers,
Warren
