answer to Re: On Mac OS X 10.3.7, is /usr/X11R6 required for Self 4.2.1?

[innovationcreation]

answered myself; standard Mac OS X 10.3.7 install does not install X11, To install, goto 
Apple site: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/

and download / install package. The install is semi automatic with a few clicks on "i 
agree". Reboot, and Self 4.2.1 dragged Demo.snap to SelfDroplet works.

Hope this helps,
John
