Done. I've used it for an hour or two and it hasn't crashed. (FWIW, I have used GPS only a little in the past, mainly due to frustration with it not being a Mac program.) The biggest problem that I'm having is that I can't compile anything--it's not finding gnatmake. I have gnat at /usr/local/gnat like you instruct; however, this was not its installed location, which was /usr/local/adacore-gnat-2013. I merely renamed the path to /usr/local/gnat so maybe that is wrong (setting a symlink didn't work either). Maybe it has to be originally installed there.

Overall, this is a big improvement to the user experience over the X11 version. I think I'm finding that maybe the next biggest problem is that none of the standard window controls work—Command-W, Hide Others Option-Command-H, Command-~ to rotate through windows, and there is not a menu command to Bring All to Front.

Thanks for all your work. I hope your health isn't suffering too much. :-)
