Personally, I had Not Much Luck with the open source stuff I've  
downloaded for Mac. The readme told me which directory to put it in,  
so I did. I tried to get fink to do something. I checked the readme  
and had got the path correct. The program (tiny little freeware  
thing) errored at me, told me I had got the path wrong, and just sat  
there looking blank.

I had a similar problem with another program I tried.

(this is so long ago I forget which)

Almost certainly, you lot would have known what Wisdom to Perform  
when the default in the readme file didn't work.

Unfortunately, I was fresh out of dead chickens, and ran away.

PS. Any actually coherent and sensible reason the reply-to seems to  
go to 'individual user' rather than 'chatty mailing list'? I never  
understand that...
