Hi all, after a *very* long "vacation", I'm getting going on snapshots

The main new feature in this one is Hans Ronne's extensive
improvements to the Mac interface. Chief features include offscreen
graphics for smooth & fast scrolling (yay!), some cool color selection
goodies, and lots more settable preferences. X11 fans need not
despair, I added some new goodies, such as better current unit
highlighting, including blinking; and yes, if you really hate the
blinking, I'm open to suggestions. (If you can handle the thought of
being more Mac-like, the moving marquee is noticeable without being
annoying). Plus there is an assortment of kernel tweaks and such.
I'm not sure there are any general bugs that *must* be fixed for a 7.2
release, so if the new Mac code passes muster, this is it!
Due to increased size of things, to install the Mac version,
you now need to download xc7.1.93app.cpt.hqx to get the Mac-specific
files, and xc7.1.93dlb.tgz to get library files. It just occurs
to me that you need tar and MacGzip to make this work, sorry -
you can use the .92 lib files OK I think.
