+The Mac OSX build uses the tarball created on Linux, so it must be
+created first and in place on the file server.  There are currently
+two builds made of wxPythonOSX, one for Panther and Apple's version of
+Python, and one for Jaguar and a self-installed MacPythonOSX.  
+
+* On BigMac run the following:
+
