[caret-users] caret keeps crashing on mac os

[John Harwell]

Hello,

I see you are running Mac OSX 10.3.9 and that is likely the problem.   
On our Mac used for Caret development, the only two SDKs (software  
development kits) are for OSX 10.4 and OSX 10.5.  We use the 10.4 SDK  
so that Caret will run on OSX 10.4 and later operating systems.  Apple  
never guarantees backwards compatibility.  If you upgrade your  
operating system, that will likely fix the problem.
