I _do_ understand that, that Staden is still an X11 app. I have X11
running on my System and I have some other X11 apps installed via
"fink" -- this is the easiest way for people like me to do this.
Currently I am using Apple's own X11 but I had fink's X11 with
OroborOSX, too.

Would be great if someone could give step-by-step instructions how to
set up Staden on OS X -- maybe this could help others, too, if the
instructions could be included with the Mac OS X download.
The Mac I am using is not my own, it is part of our lab equipment.
many people would get mad at me if I screwed this system up, so that's
why I am a little bit hesitant to just try things out... On the other
hand it would make my life much easier to have Staden running on this
machine.
BTW: Would it be difficult to make staden available via fink? Anybody
out there who might want to do this?
Thanks for your help,
Andreas
