Re: EPICS Installer and Objective-C Framework for Mac OS X

[Thomas Pelaia II <pelaiata@sns.gov>]

Sorry about the website link.  It is apparently a frame so a little  
more navigation is necessary.

To download the EPICS installer and Objective-C framework for Mac OS  
X, pleas visit:
http://ics-web1.sns.ornl.gov/ and select "Software" from the menu on  
the left and then select "EPICS Installer".

I also want to offer my appreciation to those who provided the Mac OS  
X (a.k.a. darwin-ppc) port of EPICS.  All I have done is organize the  
versions in a standard location, develop an EPICS Objective-C  
framework and package them up into a standard Mac installer.

thanks,
-tom
