after a troublesome but none the less joyfull weekend, finally some other good news:
Sérgio Luís Lopes Júnior, the father of ies4linux has included all the OS X fixes from ies4osx into ies4linux. He is about to include a platform-independent GUI and some more features.
This way, Mac people are going to instantly profit from all the improvements to ies4linux and it's big user-base. I hope I do not spill to many beans by saying there will be a new forum to exchange problems and how you tackled problems you encountered.
I will continue to help with the project, as I joined the development of ies4linux.
As stated, ies4linux 2.99 is commandline only, yet. I'm looking forward to the first GUI release.
