[Tuxpaint-devel] [Fwd] Re: check file 'tuxpaint.exe' ? * ( Mac here )

[Bill K. <nb...@so...>]

Someone forwarded me a copy of 'tuxpaint.exe' that they received,
with the following note.

(It appeared to be _just_ the EXE of the program that gets launched on
Windows, _not_ the installer app that John P. produces).

I told them I have no idea what Macs would do when they encounter a
Win32 EXE these days, so I'm passing the question along to this list,
in case anyone here knows.  Any idea why their icons would apparently
move around...?  (I have neither a Mac nor a Windows box up and running,
so I can't test it.)

In the meantime, I directed them to the Tux Paint download page for Mac OS X,
of course, and they seem to like the program. :)

Just curious.  Thanks in advance,
