Craig,

This sounds delightful. We will go on and test.

I can confirm to Mac OS X users that the .dmg is as easy to install as any
.dmg for any application, with the warnings stated here.

We cannot insist enough on the fact that this version is for testing and not
for production. I know it's been said quite clearly but somehow this warning
is often ignored. It shouldn't!

Happy testing!

Louis
