Privoxy	Jul 27 2009	TEKNOWLEDGIST My statement was based on the facts here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=E1ME4eK-0008C5-AF%40d55xhf1.ch3.sourceforge.com&forum_name=ijbswa-users and here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=211118&aid=1876629&group_id=11118 If it's working for you, great. Maybe you could post a link or some information on how the average MU user can "install from source manually". Privoxy should not however be on MU based on your anecdotal word when the official status for OS X is untested and unsupported. (Version 3.0.14b)		0

Privoxy	Jul 24 2009	TEKNOWLEDGIST Why is this being posted in MU?? Mac support for Privoxy was dropped back at v.3.0.10! Obviously, the project is still continuing, but this is only the tarball of the source code. It's unlikely to work in OS X even if you have the capability to compile it. If someone with Mac coding ability were to contribute to the project this excellent product could once again be available for OS X. (Version 3.0.14b)		+1

TRONDAH Check your facts before commenting. Privoxy still compiles and runs fine on OSX. You can either install from source manually or install using MacPorts.

TRONDAH Nowhere does it say that Privoxy will not run or compile on OSX. Like I said, it runs fine.

Here's the steps to install it:

1. Install MacPorts

2. Run 'sudo port install privoxy' in a terminal.

I agree that it might not belong on MU though as nobody is providing a packaged installer for it, but just because they ain't supporting OSX anymore doesn't mean it doesn't work. OSX is UNIX and POSIX compliant, it's pretty much guaranteed to work the same way as in BSD or Linux.

CAPS Warn	Feb 27 2008	TEKNOWLEDGIST CAPS Warn was a nice little tool in 10.4/Tiger. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in 10.5/Leopard. The message: You can't open CAPS Warn preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac. appears whenever you want try to access the preference pane. This is the same machine that it worked fine on with Tiger. Please update! (Version 3.1)		0

EazyDraw	Aug 6 2007	TEKNOWLEDGIST I've played with this a bit. It's pretty nice. Much better than AppleWorks drawing. Working with text could be a bit more straightforward, but it all works. The cost is the only thing holding me back (though $50 is much better). (Version 2.3.1)		0
