using a new cross compiler

I am still to finish adding internet graphic updates, but getting there

I have been following that thread with interest for those who needed a more complete and workable Mac version, one that would get the new M$ version updates reflected back into MacOS on a reasonable update basis.  A whole lot of work to change things over and to develope work arounds where it didn't compile as expected!  Well done Brian!

Certainly a more Mac-like interface.

I look forward to its completion  :D

thanks guys
I am looking for someone who has not installed WD Mac before to see if it works as is, i.e no library file installations needed :)

Hi
I finally tracked down an issue (where the program would stall) with the parsing of custom tags
It was a couple of procedures that were too long in the tooth,..and needed splitting up
so that is fixed , in the latest WD Mac version update
I have also added ability to set different main screen sizes, which is good, since newer Macs come with such big screens now

I updated the compiler version to the latest version (was not cheap)
which has alot of optimisation
so now WD Mac runs much faster
build 103
