herkforth for Mac OS X

herkforth mostly works under Mac OS X.

The main (source and binary) distrobutions of herkforth don't have support for Mac OS X yet.

Here is a tarbal with a binary and scripts to run under Mac OS X:

This is a bit touchy, please follow these instructions carefully.

First, you'll want to resize your terminal to exactly 80x25. Herkforth currently can't grab your terminals dimensions under OS X.

Secondly run herkforth with the provided script. It will not work properly if you run the binary directly.

OK, now that it's running, If you'd like to have a bigger terminal screen, you can change the values for term-height and term-width, resize your terminal to match, then hit shift-S to save and restart herkforth with the new values.

If you run into any trouble, please Contact Jason Woofenden
