PCS-Current

Installing PCS and Pyrex on a Mac

Found this out a while ago, but figure it might be useful to users of PCS... (since I couldn't find this information anywhere else)

Downloaded PCS and started getting it set up, although I've run into a snag getting it to find Pyrex properly. Read more...
