Right -- I do remember trying to help you with this, Dylan.
When you tried invoking the LWSN executable from the command line,
you got [paraphrasing your posting from April 2005]:
# cd '/Applications/LightWave [8]/programs'
# ./lwsn
./lwsn: cannot execute binary file
# ls -la
[..]
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root admin 343461 21 Apr 16:44 LSid
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root admin 599653 21 Apr 16:44 LWSN <--
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root admin 0 21 Apr 16:44 LWSN cmdLine
[..]
# file ./LWSN
./LWSN: header for PowerPC PEF executable
So even though it was executable (rwx), it couldn't be invoked
from the unix shell. (Macs aren't case sensitive, so ./lwsn == ./LWSN)
FWIW, whenever a software vendor that already has a product working
on OS9, or is new to OSX, they seem to take a few revs before they
get their command line stuff working.
It took a few revs of Maya on OSX before things work working smoothly.
It wasn't until 6.0.1 that it was truly 'stable'.
Jance if you find anything diference please let us know ;)
I think NewTek is still on version 8.x, and you and I tested
with 8.2 I think it was. So my guess is this might still be
an issue under OSX.
