Version: 3.5.2
The version that is downloaded is identical to the version from July 6th 2008.

Is there a way to simulate OPEN TRANSPORT and make it available to Maverick users? My be by coding something in Terminal could be a possibility? Tell me what you guys think. Maybe someone can come up with an idea,
