I don't have it and I don't plan to get it. For that, people will probably have to use whatever I manage to create for Linux (which I also don't have). I was thinking about the classic Mac OS, which is what I use and will target with a custom GUI if/when I get CHEST to build on the Mac. (I've been a Mac user since early '88 and have a zillion hours and dollars invested in older stuff that probably won't work under OS X. I do NOT have enough money, time, or interest to re-buy and/or re-install and/or re-configure the hundreds of tools I've become dependent on over these 14 years.)
