This is a first cut for OSX.  Not a universal binary, so it should run under
Rosetta on X86, and native for PPC.

You've already unzipped the package.

Make sure you have X11 installed.

Move the executable file astroframes (or create an alias) into Applications 
(or wherever you like).  It should already be set to open with X11, but if
not, use Get Info on the executable file (not the alias) to open with X11.

The Swiss Ephemeris files for the current period are in folder ephe under the
top level unzipped folder.  You can unzip additional files obtained from
www.astro.com into that directory as suits you.  If you have another app
that uses sweph, you may want to just leave SE_EPHE_PATH pointing to its
installation of the ephemeris files. AF doesn't care where it gets them, but
some apps like SF seem to.

If you don't have a .bashrc file in your home folder, create one and add the following lines (assuming you have unzipped into your home directory):

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/astroframes_osx/lib
export SE_EPHE_PATH=$HOME/astroframes_osx/ephe

If you already have these symbols defined, you can leave SE_EPHE_PATH alone.
Add the lib path above to DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Once you've done the above, start the program and check out the preferences.
You'll want to set them.  See readme_all.txt for some info about using the
application.
