Re: [Usbpicprog-technical] [usbpicprog-technical] Contact: Mac OS X PPC Compile

[Frans S. <fra...@gm...>]

Dear Aleksej,

Yes, I would like to have the binary. Could you zip the .app file with 
the right version information?
eg:
usbpicprog-831-20100303-osx-ppc.app.zip

The program runs in Dutch only if you have a flag set somewhere that 
your system should run programs in Dutch.
Probably something like LC_LANG = nl_NL.UTF-8 or LC_ALL=nl_NL.UTF-8
I don't exactly know how to do this setting in osx, but it must be 
defined somewhere.
If you can't find the setting, you can always delete the nl.mo file from 
the .app file to run it in English.

Kind regards,

Frans Schreuder
