Fix spelling: "MacOS X" -> "Mac OS X" The correct official spelling is indeed "Mac OS X". This is in contrast to old macintosh operating systems which were called "MacOS" as in "MacOS 7". Conflicts: README

15To install @sc{Singular} on a Macintosh, you need the file @code{Singular-<version>-ppcMac-darwin.tar.gz} resp. @code{Singular-<version>-share.tar.gz} which you can obtain by public ftp from @uref{ftp://www.mathematik.uni-kl.de/pub/Math/Singular}. Furthermore, you need Mac OSX version >= 10.2.

21Please see @uref{INSTALL_unix.html}. Full functionality of @sc{Singular} requires the presence of the X-window
22environment. In the absense of X under Mac OS X, @sc{Singular} is only available as a shell command, that is
23there are no @code{TSingular} and @code{ESingular}. @sc{Singular} can only be used by typing @code{Singular}
24in a terminal under Aqua. Alternatively, you may choose @code{Terminal} as the application to open the file @code{Singular} with and put it into the dock. The last step is easier under 10.3 (Panther), because the binaries already
25have this property.

30with the @code{-v} option, and a description of your machine and operating system.
