       for their target environment.  <p> If you have any fixes or
       suggestions for improving this port, please contact <a

+        The Mac OS X port of ACE is very much a work in progress.  Some
+        of the examples build and run, some of them don't yet.  Reactors
+        seem to work, while Proactors don't (Mac OS X doesn't use aio_*
+        calls for async i/o, it uses the OS X Event Queue instead, and 
+        the ACE port doesn't take this into account yet).  Also, on OS X,
+        you must set the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to
+        $ACE_ROOT/ace i.e. setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH $ACE_ROOT/ace, or else
+        none of the examples will be able to find libACE.dylib.
+
+        John Zorko <j.zorko@att.net> began this port for a work
+        project, and basically only ported enough of ACE to be able to
+        do what we needed to with it on Mac OS X.  If you would like
+        to continue the port, please contact John since he as
+        interested in seeing ACE run, lean, mean and fully supported,
+        on Mac OS X.
