Ferret v5.70
Welcome to the MAC OS X download page for Ferret.
Ferret v570 beta was built through cooperative support by Andy Jacobson, then a researcher at Princeton University. Installation instructions and requirements can be found at: http://tazman.princeton.edu/osx/. Scroll down about half way to see the Ferret icon and Andy's instructions.
Note that to use the install script, you will need to rename the tar file:
mv fer_executables_v570alpha.tar.Z fer_executables.tar.Z
Here is a useful mail message from the email list about the tools Fpalette and Fpattern http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2007/msg00522.html
As the MAC OS X port evolves and becomes more stable, we will begin to host the MAC OS X executables here at PMEL. Until then, if you have any questions, or if you have trouble getting the executables, please email us at oar.pmel.contact_ferret@noaa.gov .
Big thanks go to Andy for making Mac Ferret a reality!
