Yes, we have compiled a command-line only version of PAUP* 4.0 beta that will run on Mac OS X in a terminal window. Note, this version takes full advantage of Mac OS X’s memory protection and preemptive multitasking but LACKS a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Starting with the forthcoming release of Beta 11, Mac users will be given a choice to install the command-line version of PAUP* as well as the classic Mac GUI version. Work is currently underway to “carbonize” the GUI Mac version of PAUP*; however, at this time, we cannot speculate on when this version will be available. The Mac GUI version of PAUP* is compatible with Mac OS X when run in the classic layer. If you are only interested in the command-line version of PAUP* then you may purchase the portable version http://www.paup.csit.fsu.edu/port.
