MAC OS X
processing runs best with (and probably requires) Mac OS X 10.1 and
"Java 1.3.1 Update 1", the latter of which is available as a free
update from the "Software Update" control panel. it can also be
downloaded from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ or
from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/java131.html
the most current release has only been tested on Mac OS X 10.2.2. your
mileage may vary if you're running something else. actually, your
mileage will vary no matter what, because who knows what this software
is gonna do. you're playing with free, alpha software. get psyched!
with os x 10.2 on its way, you'll no longer need the java update,
but we'll have to see if we can afford being gouged $129 for the
upgrade in order to do some testing under this cat-themed operating
system.
minimum requirements.. processing requires at least Mac OS X 10.1. if
you're running anything older than 10.2, you'll need "Java 1.3.1

another issue under osx.. it appears that there's a bug in their java
vm with text areas, so as a result, the arrow keys won't work in the
editor. we think this really stinks and are searching for options for
a (near?) future release.
text area & mouse wheel.. in order to get the text area working in a
reasonable fashion, we had to switch to using swing text components
because of bugs in apple's java implementation. phooey on apple. the
editor in this release should behave much better, but mouse wheel
support is disabled until apple finishes an implementation of java
1.4. if this makes you sad, email steve jobs and tell him to make the
java team quit patting themselves on the back and get to work on
finishing 1.4.
"Caught java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError" on startup...
in order to use the serial port under macosx, you'll need to install
RXTX, the serial port driver. this is for more advanced users, and the
package is included with the p5 download, and includes its own
instructions.

arrow keys work (they didn't under 43) using a hokey algorithm to do
placement of the cursor. this is a workaround for an apple bug. things
might be a little funny, but maybe someone else will be able to repair
this in the future.

the windows release is now using java 1.4, a forty megabyte beast of a

future we hope to just make people install the runtime separately, so
if people already have it installed on their machine, no additional
