Hi All, I'm not sure if this has been asked before (I searched through the archives, and wasn't able to find anything), but I have two questions: 1) Will Psychtoolbox work on OS X with the new version of Matlab? (I'm guessing not, since OS X is not Unix based) 2) If not, is there a timetable as to when it might be released for OS X? If you can, please reply to [nknouf@...](mailto:nknouf@...). Thanks!

Last April during evenings I ported some of the source for Screen.mex (the easy stuff) to work under OSX with the aim of getting it to work with an open-source alternative to MATLAB called Octave. Unfortunately I haven't done anything since then, but I am on the verge of getting back into it once I have R13 and 10.2 in hand. Of course the real thing to wait for is Allen's OpenGL version of the PTB. Ben -- ---

Ahh, indeed, that was a typo. If you need or want any testers, let me know; I'd be happy to be a beta tester, but I know that I wouldn't be much help programming wise. I'm planning on trying out the new OS X version of matlab as soon as possible.
