Thank you both for answering. Where can I go to find out about the architectural differences? I think I can see both sides of the argument and as long as the duality of the current system isn't oppressive to anyone, I see no reason it can't continue perpetually in order to please as many as possible. Unfortunately I don't have time at the moment to get as deep into scenario creation as I would like, so I'm not ready to contribute now. Graduate school and family are taking all of my time at the moment, that will change, but probably not soon.

Unfortunately I don't have time to investigate it myself, but it sounds like for my purposes the 3.6 with the PlayersDB is sufficient for now. It sounds like pretty much what I was expecting to be different and I thank all those involved in continuing to support the 3.6 users, I'm actually surprised by that continuing support. Besides the Mac version, why continue to support 3.6?

So on the gamesquad forums I see there is a PlayersDB for 3.6.3, and another for ANW. I suspect the reason for that is because of some structural differences between 3.6 and 3.9. Is there someplace I can see the specifics of those differences and how they relate to playing the same scenario in 3.6 and 3.9?

I can understand that reasoning, but however they determined that, they could be mistaken. I realize spending money to see if your mistaken is unlikely, thus my nonpaying proposal to work unpaid on a Mac version. I should have tried it before asking, I'm not surprised it works and I do use the PC version in a VM and it works great, but the purist in me keeps me from playing as much as I would like because of the lack of a current Mac versions support for multiplayer, etc. I'm working on a proposal for AGSI and will never give up the good fight! :-)

Will the PlayersDB work with 3.6.2 on the Mac?

Thanks for responding. I realize this is not being worked on actively and I guess I'm trying to determine what is meant by community support. Does it mean the PlayersDB and associated scenarios will work for example, or is there a community group allowed access to the source for volunteer and unpaid development? The latter in particular interests me. I would be willing to sign whatever AGSI requires if allowed to contribute directly to the mac version.

Ok, I'm slumming around the harpoon sites and come across the link to buy Harpoon 3 for Mac OS X intel and it's version 3.6.2. I realize it's only community supported but I can't find the community. Is this the right place to start one?
