The carbon version rocks on newer equipment, the tiger maps are awesome (and free). If you are trying to configure the carbon version, you have to use the classic version to set your serial number for some reason. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I helped test Curt's xastir compiler so it would run on darwin, with X11.

If you want all the bells and whistles, with a product that is updated daily, and are CLI savvy I would recommend you check out Xastir. I bounce back and forth, but mainly I use MacAPRS Carbon with OSX 10.4.2 on my powerbook.

MacAPRS was written for the Mac and only later ported to Windows. The look and feel of MacAPRS Carbon is what it always has been back 10-12 years ago, long before a windows version ever existed. It is the code from the original MacAPRS modified and recompiled for X. It takes very little work to take the carbon version up to run under OS X. I simply dropped the carbon version into the folder with the Classic version and it ran. The only problem is that they don't have serial communications via USB/serial adapters to a TNC yet ...</DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>cheers ... 73 de brian riley, n1bq , underhill center, vermont</DIV><DIV> <<A href="mailto:n1bq@wulfden.org">n1bq@wulfden.org</A>></DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>On Oct 23, 2005, at 3:04 PM, Ron Cluster wrote:</DIV><DIV><BR></DIV> <BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV>The carbon release of MacAPRS was specifically designed for OS X.
