[Ham-Mac] Using Windows Contesting Software on a Mac

Since OS X is sort-of FreeBSD under the hood, I suspect that some of  
the *nix applications could be compiled and run on a Mac.  I was able  
to do this with Colrdx, which is a split-screen DX cluster client.   
As far as contesting software, I suspect that it wouldn't be too hard  
to get TLF compiled, although I haven't tried it.  It is curses-based  
(there is also an X version, but I haven't tried it).  When I finally  
get around to upgrading my G4 Mini to an Intel Mac, I'll move this  
one to the shack (currently populated by a couple of old Linux boxes,  
using TLF, gMFSK, etc.).

73,
