You can get the latest beta X11 that works with Jaguar from my website : http://mozilla.mathiesen.info/apple/ . BEWARE the site is hosted on an ADSL 512/512 line so don't expect any snappy download. And please don't slashdot me;-) On my own system I did install XFree-4.3.0 from source on top of Apple's X11 as the Jaguar beta X11 only is XFree-4.2.1.1
Correspondance with BBC regarding one of their artciles. I actually succeded in having the editor modifying the text:-)

That's still not entirely correct;-) 1) SCO might be owning the source code but in that case *ONLY* for the original AT&T implementation of Unix - no other Unix like eg the Sun Solaris or any of the BSD implementation (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD) 2) as a consequense of the court case between Berkeley and USL (noted in the opensource article/url) it was established that the BSD version and the AT&T version are separate legal entities 3) *anybody* can make a Unix implementaion from the ground up based upon the specifications from The Open Group (like Sun Solaris), but in order to use the name Unix, you'll have to certify with The Open Group. Thus, *nobody* can own the source code to Unix except for their own implementation of the specification
At present, the ownership of the AT&T version is in a legal flux, with SCO saying one thing, Novell saying another thing, both of them having registered copyrights with the the American authorities, court-cases between SCO & Novell , SCO and IBM , SCO and RedHat etc etc. http://groklaw.net/ has a lot of information about all aspects of these court cases.

Actually, in Danmark danish bakery is called 'wienerbrod'. That's because the baking techniques originated in Wien - the capitol of Austria. The technique was then refined by the danish bakers and re-exported, becomming known as 'danish' while we here in Danmark still honour the original place of origin
I do know that; and I do appreciate the effort taken by all; and I do try to involve myself at my level of expertise (http://mozilla.mathiesen.info/); and I would really really like to recommend Mozilla+Composer+CaScadeS to the people I know, but the broken CaScadeS makes this impossible for me.
Now, is there any way I can be of help to get CaScadeS to work on Mac OS X ??? You do state on the webpage that you don't want any help
Well, Cascades 0.3 has been hosed on Mac OS X for a long long time. I filed bugs on this a long time ago but no action has been taken regarding these issues:-(
