Cocktail 3.5 (Jaguar Edition) requires Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server 10.2-10.2.8 with BSD subsystem (included in default Mac OS X installation).
All latest versions of Cocktail are available as free updates for registered users. When unregistered, Cocktail runs in demo mode and will expire after the tenth launch.
Cocktail 3.5 (Jaguar Edition) is available for download from http://www.macosxcocktail.com/download.html.
To download Cocktail from our iDisk, choose Connect To Server from the Go menu, type "http://idisk.mac.com/macosxcocktail-Public" and click Connect. If you are using Mac OS X 10.3, choose iDisk from the Go menu, choose Other User's Public Folder from the submenu, type "macosxcocktail" in the Member Name field and click Connect.
To install Cocktail, double click the downloaded .dmg file to mount it as a virtual disk on your desktop. This disk contains the program file that you should drag to your Applications folder. The virtual disk will be disposed of when you shut down your Mac but you may unmount it earlier by dragging its icon to the Trash.
Cocktail is currently not compatible with any of the preview builds of Mac OS X 10.4. We are expecting to release the first public beta of Cocktail (Tiger Edition) in April 2005.
