platform notes
|
windows 95/98/nt/2000/xp platform
|
kast for windows is distributed in a self-extracting archive. Running the .exe archive will create a kast folder and extract all of the kast components.
|
mac os x platform
|
kast for mac os x is distributed in a tar'ed and gzip'ed archive. Most file extraction utilities can handle .tar.gz files. You can also extract from a command terminal using these instructions.
note that kast for mac os x must be run from a command terminal. An Aqua launcher application is included called kastLauncher, but its functionality is limited in certain ways. To interact with kast in a more unix-like manner (not necessary, but sometimes useful), open a terminal, use the cd command to change into the kast directory, and then run the command ./kast
the kastLauncher application is based on the Moriarity sample code posted by Apple. kastLauncher has been refined and improved (and perfected?) by Shayne White.
