Manfred,
It is likely to work ok with 1.5.8. Also, the API changes were very
few between 1.5.8 and 1.5.9. If you decide to try the upgrade, please
ask if anything won't compile. Someone here can probably answer any
questions pretty quick. It would be nice ultimately to have a MacSword
running the 1.5.9 engine because most of the new modules really do
require it. Thank you for your help and contributions, Manfred.
I don't know if this is a holiday for you, but in the US it is
Thanksgiving Day, so Praise God Who died a brutal death so we could be
with Him forever, because He loves us so much!!!
-Troy.
