Hello Eric,

I would be happy for you to try LinuDent on the MAC. LinuDent is presently
implemented in tcl/tk. So you need to install tcl/tk on the system. Also it
uses the [incr] tcl/tk extension for tcl/tk. All these libraries can be
installed on Linux x86 and Windows x86 with just two files. But, I don't think
they are compiled for the MAC. Tcl/Tk and [incr] tcl/tk should work fine for
the MAC. Tcl/Tk is even available for Mac OS X at:

http://tcl.sourceforge.net/

I will help as much as I can to get LinuDent running on the Mac, but I don't
have access to a mac or PPC here.

Thanks for the interest.
