 | | L3P v1.3 for Mac OSX —Lars C. Hassing
|
| | | It's the good old v1.3 from 20010120, but you get i before the Linux people :-) Since I don't have much experience in the Mac and only limited access, I'll leave the testing to you guys. Please test every feature of L3P you can. If things work out (...) (22 years ago, 29-Nov-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
