This is a temporary workaround and hideously untested, but the following
procedure should turn a version of Inform 7 that will only run on OS X
10.4 into one that will run on 10.3.9 as well:

Download the newly recompiled version of Zoom from
<http://www.logicalshift.co.uk/mac/Zoom-1.0.5.dmg>

Right-click the Zoom application icon and go to 'Contents' and then
'Frameworks'.

Do the same with the Inform application.

Copy the 'ZoomView.framework' file from inside Zoom over the top of the
version inside Inform.

Inform should now run. This is, as I say, pretty untested, but it did
suffice to get Inform working again on my 10.3 machine.

Andrew.

Yes, it's working fine now !! Thank you very very much for this new
build, and the quick fix.
What is strange is your previous release of Zoom was working on my
computer...
Anyway, it's a great new for Panther users :)

Indeed it does! Thank you for the prompt response.

It lives on 10.3.9! Only problem so far is some of the Index tabs show
blank pages. But a minor annoyance as I work through the docs :)

Actually, this problem went away after I compiled a few more times --
it seems that if your build fails you get nothing in this pane. So it
might not be a 10.3 specific issue :)

Great stuff!

Whoo, it works! And it's pretty. (And now I've worked out how pan works
again I won't keep replying to people's inboxes and/or spam-filters.)

Erm, it launches and does everything EXCEPT compile Inform code. So,
it's interesting, but not functional.

Sigh.
