Hi Stephan,
I must apologize, I think I gave some bad advice here. I don't have a
Mac, and I'm afraid that I was thinking in terms of the Unix VM code
base.
My expectation is that a Unix VM (interpreter, Cog, Spur) running on
Mac with X11 display should work with the current RemoteTask, exactly
as on on Linux. But I have not personally tried it, and I am not really
sure what would be required to get it working on the standard released
Mac VMs.
Sorry for the confusion.
Dave
