Phil,

I wrote the Lazarus version of SquareCell sometime ago.  It is a  
stripped down version of this Delphi program:

http://linuxenvy.com/bprentice/SquareCell/Version%201/Square%20Cell.html

I did test the program with version 0.9.28.2 on my Mac.  It seems that  
the mouse events and status bar don't work correctly.  Since  the  
menus on Widows XP and OS X behave differently,  the program needs to  
be rewritten to use buttons rather than menus to control the  
simulation and use menus to simply open dialogs.

I needed  a CA simulator for my Mac and my original plan was to use  
Lazarus and FPC,  but since that didn't work I wrote this Java program:

which I use daily.
