<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi there - I started porting some of my code to Apple Mac yesterday (which is proving quite enjoyable - I've never worked on a Mac before).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is there a decent document on the Mac/OpenAL interaction around somewhere? In particular, I'm wondering:</FONT>
<UL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Where will I drop my new shiny OpenAL implementation so that it can be picked up by the system and/or selected? [Complete tangent - should we be reworking the router component on this list?]</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Are there any build flags I should know about?</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Can someone recommend a Mac test application?</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What's the EFX situation? At first glance, Apple doesn't seem to support EFX, but provides a bunch of Apple effects instead - I'm guessing games will be using these? Does this mean that I need to support this interface too to make my effects available?</FONT></LI>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I know this is completely off-topic, but I do have to ask:</FONT>
<UL>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The Mac Mini appeared to support any old keyboard out-of-the-box. Apparently not true for a standard PC keyboard in the UK. Unless I'm missing something? Is it really necessary to install non-standard key mappings on day one???</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Anyone know how to get rid of the "visibility" consistency warnings that occur in Xcode 3.0 when trying to link a project assembled as a mix of static libraries and local code?</FONT></LI>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Apologies for the "scatter-gun" approach with the questions - any answers much appreciated!</FONT>
