[1] Introduction

    (1) This release supports
            Mojave, Catalina (x86_64), and
            Big Sur, Monterey (x86_64 and arm64).
        (and hopefully older/newer macOSes).
    (2) If you find any problem, please report it to the OCTA BBS.

[2] How to install

    (0) !!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!  (If you are using Catalina or later)
        In Terminal.app (% is the shell's prompt)

        % cd ~/Downloads     # or to the directory OCTA841-mac.tar.bz2 is in
        % xattr -c OCTA841-mac.tar.bz2

        This removes the information that the .tar.bz2 is downloaded from
        the Net. If you skip this process, you will get dialogs asking
		for permission everytime you use a new library or simulation engine.

    (1) Expand the archive OCTA841-mac.tar.bz2 into any directory you like.
        For example, if you want to expand it under your home directory:

        % cd
        % tar xvf /path/to/OCTA841-mac.tar.bz2
		for example
		% tar xvf ~/Downloads/OCTA841-mac.tar.bz2
    
    (2) Read and agree with the license documents in OCTA84/DOCUMENTS/
        before installing OCTA.

    (3) Follow the instructions in OCTA84/DOCUMENTS/INSTALL-mac.pdf.
