And then come to find that my metered bandwidth *and* 70 days were
both _wasted_ on that download; the net, summed up in the following
message when I clicked on the instructed file: "You can't open the
application IBM i Access Client Solutions.app because it is not
supported on this type of Mac." Nothing in the readme or anything else
I saw suggested any pre-requisite.? Certainly not very useful to know
that the software "runs on most operating systems that support Java,
including … Mac", but no implication that my Mac would be excluded :-(

That's interesting, since it should work. What model Mac and what version
of OS X are you running? I think that the .app is built against 10.6 in
both 32-bit and 64-bit "fat binary" format, so it should support most any
Mac out there nowadays. In any case, you can always bypass the .app and
just run the jar file directly: java -jar acsbundle.jar Double clicking
the acsbundle.jar may also work, not sure on Mac, though.

If you're still having issues, you can always open a PMR.
