Hi,

I found something to comment from this last email :).

If same installer can be used to install both x86 and PCC binaries depending on which PC you run installation package that would be great. Anyhow I think we can make at least separate PCC installation package when we will have PCC Mac to make it.

Nobody has told me if PCC binary can be build on x86 Mac. If not it will take some time to make PCC version of flasher-3.5 even when it is just rebuilding (at least in theory it should be just rebuilding task).
