If you look at the Readme, it will tell you that it uses Slurpee (now called
Sloup by Steve Weyer). So I assume it might be doing something similar as
Newtonlink does. So even if you port it to Mac OS X it will not do more than
can be done with Sloup (which is quite a lot actually), but it will not be
something native a la NCU.
