Sigil 3.2 & Macintosh
QUESTION: Does Sigil for Macintosh version 3.2 run only on Intel based Macs or will it run on PowerPCs running MacOS 10.5 and higher?
BACKGROUND: My older Mac PowerPC G5 runs well on MacOS 10.4.11. I use Sigil 2.4 and I am happy with it. (I am envious of 3.2 users, but I can live with that.) This past week, Apple sent me an email saying that their next release of iTunes Producer ( publisher's software for uploading media to iTunes) will not run on OS 10.4.11 and I needed to upgrade to 10.5. After some hassle finding a copy of 10.5 (Apple no longer sells it) I will install it soon and begin checking all my software for compatibility. I am hoping, as a benefit for this hassle, that I can now run Sigil 3.2 on my Mac. Hence my initial question. Thanks. - Fabe |

I can remember reading this before. If I remember correctly Valloric had very good reasons that PowerPC is no longer supported.

Suggestions as to where I can get a copy of the earlier Sigil that will run on a PowerPC Mac with OSX10.5.8 would be most welcome. Current version is Intel only.
