>> To those who have expressed interest in Toolbox for Mac,
>> 
>> The first alpha test of Toolbox for Mac is available for testing.
>> You can download it at:
>> 
>> www.sil.org/computing/toolbox/downloads.htm
>> 
>> Please understand that this is a very limited subset of the full
>> Toolbox functionality. It should be usable for basic dictionary
>> editing, but it does not yet have most of the tools that make
>> Windows Toolbox what it is. Toolbox for Mac cannot yet
>> browse, sort, or handle interlinear text.
>> 
>> Be sure to download both the program and the documentation.
>> The documentation includes more details on what the program
>> can and cannot do, and a walkthrough with a sample to give
>> you an idea of what it is like. Even if you do not test it on
>> any data of your own, you can get a feel for what it is like
>> by doing the walkthrough.
>> 
>> My primary purpose in putting out this test version is to get
>> feedback on further development of Toolbox for Mac. If you
>> test it, please respond with the following information:
>> 
>> 1. Does it look and feel like a native Mac program?
>> 
>> 2. Did you find any problems during your testing?
>> 
>> 3. Which missing features do you most wish for?
>> 
>> 4. How much do you care about having a native Toolbox
>> for Mac? Are you already running Windows Toolbox using 
>> something like Parallels? If so, is it working well for you? 
>> If it takes me two more years of work to make a fairly 
>> full version of Toolbox for Mac, will it help you a lot?
>> 
>> Thank you for your help,
>> Alan Buseman
