[Webfunds-users] Mac install problem

This post relates to getting WebFunds to run on Mac OS, which is really
easy.  If only the HushMail guys could be bothered to debug their system properly!!!

I wasn't, until I was so brutally conscripted into service.

It could prove intriguing to do this via email.  Bear with us as we go
through this step by step.

Have you downloaded WebFunds 1.7.4?

Which utility did you use to unzip it?  I've found that StuffIt Expander
does something strange during decompression.  I use MacZip, which you
can find at:

Try unzipping with MacZip, and starting over from scratch.  There is no
need to alias swingall.jar, since you can add it from wherever it
resides.  The files do not need to all be in the same folder.

Let me know how it goes, and we'll progress from there.

Once you have completed the Mac Prepare, hit Save Settings... and make
sure that Save as Application is checked.  Then, hit Run.
