[luau] Open source for Mac OS X?

[R. Scott Belford]

Rob,

When I am looking for software that osx does not already have, I often find 
it here.

http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/

I have not been ambitious enough to try, but I believe that you can run an 
awful of of *bsd binaries on this platform, many of which were developed in 
an open source environment.  

For what it's worth, this comes to you from an original ibook running 
Mandrake 8.2.  Here I get lots of great software.  PDA compatibility too, I 
think.
