support for IDV 1.2 on MacOS X 10.4

[John C Cartwright]

Thanks for your prompt reply, Tom.  I did see that note, and it would 
seem from Apple that Java3D is not available on 10.4.

However, I had heard elsewhere that Java3D was "built-in" to 10.4 - 
hence my confusion.

I did install IDV 1.2 on my Mac, but it throws all kinds of exceptions 
and I hoping someone else might have previously travelled this road.

Did I understand correctly that your cube-mate's mac seemed to work OK 
w/ 1.2 and 10.4?

Thanks again!
