<div><br></div>
<div>It required: OS X 10.2.8 or later and X11 installed</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>It includes: new Grass Libraries, grass 5.4.0 app built with
shared lib (thanks to Paul Kelly), grass 5.7.0 app and demo
data.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>File size</div>
<div>95.5 MB (down from 160 MB of last version, grass 5.4.0 is much
smaller). In separate packages you can see grass540 file size: only
14.7 MB</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Features</div>
<div>Grass54 and Grass57 are two applications. They work anywhere in
your hard disk. I install them in /Application/Grass folder but you
can move anywhere. You can run grass from app or from terminal (read
the doc inside). These apps require only Grass libraries installed.
The libraries are very big and can be used for other package like
MapServer</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Future product: GRASS GIS CVS (file size under 30 MB)</div>
<div>Features: it contains only 2 apps, grass54cvs and grass57cvs and
it requires GRASS GIS COMPLETE.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Help: if you want to help me for improving libraries for grass
(GDAL for example) under OS X you can contact me</div>

<div>-------------------</div>
<div>Why not TCLTK AQUA?</div>
<div>I have an aqua version with Menu up like a true Mac application
but ... it requires always X11 terminal and the the jump from Wish
(tcltk aqua app) and X11 is annoying and slow.</div>
<div>What are the advantages?</div>
<blockquote>Menu up like Mac, chooser dialog for file like a Mac
app</blockquote>
<div>.. and cons?</div>
<blockquote>Aqua version is slower than X11 version, X11 is always
need for NVIZ and for commands. The jump from Aqua and X11 is
annoying. X11 version is faster and now with new menu (GIS Manager for
5.7cvs from Michael Barton) is very easy to work with
X11.</blockquote>
