Regex Coach seems to be a great utility...but we cant use it on OS X. Is there anything that can be done about this? Is there some licence issue with LispWorks? Of course your applications is not open source, so there is probably little hope to port it to OS X (if you dont own a distribution licence from LispWorks). But if you use CAPI for the interface, it could be ported, is that right?
Thank you very much for any information on this questions.

Yes, you can buy me a professional license for the Mac version of LispWorks... :)

See above. I have licenses for Windows and Linux only. Until recently we only had an old Pismo PowerBook at home which was too slow to run OS X. But now my wife is getting a new iBook so I'd be able to build and maintain a Mac version with it. However, I won't buy a license (EUR 900) just for a freeware app - the two licenses that I have I also use professionally.

Yep. Judging from the Windows to Linux port and from what I've heard about the Mac version of LW it should be a piece of cake to port it.
I actually gave the source code to someone with a LW Mac license who volunteered to maintain a Mac version but it seems he's too busy. I haven't heard from him since January or so.
Cheers, Edi.
I see...:-) Thank you four your reply. There is no hope for extra money right now, but if there will be, im definitely going to use it for LW. Im a little tired of the "Personal Edition" (no updates etc). I do own a license of MCL, but I like the CAPI and sql capacities of LW. cheers, André
