A binary for the new Mac OS X 10.4 >(Tiger) will probably be ready within a few days. Is there any advantage to making the executable OSX 10.4 specific? I don't think any of the 10.4 API additions are critical for a typical chess program. After all, there are plenty of OSX 10.[012] binaries that run fine under 10.3 (Panther). Trivia: 10.0 Cheetah (some say Lion was the in-house pre-release name)) 10.1 Puma 10.2 Jaguar 10.3 Panther 10.4 Tiger 10.[567] (Cougar, Leopard, and Lynx have all been registered by Apple as trademarks) There are only 38 species (one [Smilodon fatalis/sabretooth] extinct) in the Felidae family, so Apple's current naming scheme won't go on indefinitely. Felis catus, the housecat (I have two of these) is one possibility, but I doubt Apple will use it.
