Hi all,

I have no idea about this. Currently the new MacOS-GRASS seems to be
corrupted.

Even "file" cannot detect the format. If Jeshua has no time to package
it again, could you, Andy, compile and package it?
Or, Jeshua, maybe you uploaded in ASCII instead of BIN to your server?
Or my "wget" didn't get it properly?

Sorry for no better news,
 Markus
