Getting Started page for macOS updated - N. W. Perry - 2021-04-11

The Getting Started page for Mac has been revised and updated, with instructions for downloading and installing the LDraw library as well as LeoCAD (now that it's the most current Mac-native editor).

Some mention is made of the ability to run non-native programs on the Mac. Instructions for setting up LDCad under Wine will be forthcoming. (I'd be grateful to hear from any users who have tested this setup, especially under Catalina or Big Sur.)

Very clear and good!
I am looking forward to the wine / LDCad part.
(I need to update my Macbook too...)

Well, you may not want to for Wine to function. Wink But if you do, I'd love to hear whether things work out on your system. I know some people had more trouble than I did getting this to work, and it would be great to be able to head off those problems if possible.
