Folks,
I'm trying a new compression technique on the Mac OS X version. The
size of the application is reduced from 135MB down to 46MB (and it
also saves a couple of MB on the download size). I cannot see any
problems with this, but if you see any new problems or slowdowns, let
me know.
(Windows users might be wondering why the Mac app size is/was so big
compared with the Windows app. The main reason for this is the fact
that the Mac version runs natively on both Intel and PowerPC
processors, and hence needs two completely separate code segments)
