Re: ArchGenXML + Poseidon on the Mac

On a sidenote, Gaphor is looking quite promising as an AGX-enabled tool. 
  Its based on GNOME but I have heard of some success of getting it run 
properly on MacOS X.  Its certainly much faster than Poseidon.  But the 
biggest missing feature at this poing is tgv's but I've heard its in the 
works.
