Re: Q about RPG II level break usage (Robert Wenzel)

[aec <cfuture@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently came across Nick Litten's article about Liam Allen's new 
ILEditor.

http://worksofbarry.com/ileditor/

It looks like there's a lot of .CS files in the download, which leads me 
to think that it is written for Windows machines.

My question is, is there a version for OSX, meaning a Mac?
