Mac OSX Specific Issues / A suggestion!

Props to Almond for putting up those directions, and here\'s a hint that might help:
In the finder, if you use the \"Go to folder\" command in the Go Menu (between View and Window - I never use this menu), search for both folders (without the file name). I found that it was much easier locating the file if I searched for the directory it was supposed to be located in rather than the file itself.
Similarly, when installing the libcal3d.10.dylib file, you might want to make a new folder called \"lib\" on your desktop and then drag the folder to the usr/local folder. Then, choose to authenticate the option, and use your administrator password to allow it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the developers:
Major props! The psclient sure is buggy, but I think the game looks great so far - from what I\'ve seen of it. It\'s encouraging to see that there are developers out there who are willing to make cross-platform games that don\'t cost an arm and a leg or two to play. Furthermore, this game visually is pretty impressive.
A few observations:
- I just joined in recently, and the servers seem to be difficult to connect to; I\'m sure you guys are working on this and will be able to figure something out. I usually have to try to connect 3-4 times before being able to enter the game.
- It might just be me, but for the Mac client, I can\'t see the buttons that should be on the top of the screen; I\'m clicking blind to find the various icons, so I\'ve been relying mostly on the keyboard.
- Whenever I quit the application, the \"The application has unexpectedly quit.\" message comes up.
Otherwise, looks great so far!
