I know there's an X-Mosaic out there, but I don't know about a mac port.  
If you've ot it in source, it shouldn't be too hard.  Now if it's 
binaries, you're probably stuck.

That brings up an interesting point.  Does anyone know of a C 
decompiler?  I know that there are disassemblers that convert into 
assembly language, complete with dummy labels, dummy variables, etc., 
even going so far as to replace known macintosh equates with their text 
names.  Is there anything like that for C?  Even really trashy label 
names like label.1, label.2, etc. would allow recompiling on a different 
platform.  Any thoughts on this?  I know it would be technically illegal 
to reverse engineer commercial software, but there's a lot out there in 
binaries that's not commercial but doesn't have source code available.  
Besides the possible/probable legal ramifications of distributing 
binaries for other platforms, does anybody have any thoughts on this? (URL's 
for programs of this type would be nice B-)
