SciFinder Scholar and web Version of SciFinder: Mac Version Info Plus Comparison Chart
Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) and SciFinder Scholar
SciFinder Scholar 2007 for Mac OS X, released in June 2007, was found to be incompatible with Apple Intel powered computers using Mac OS X Leopard (10.5), released in October 2007. A workaround is now available. This is a “quick fix” pending further development investigation, code change, and quality testing.
CAS recognizes the importance of the Mac platform to the scientific community and is actively investigating the reported problems. A change to memory initialization handling in Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) appears to be the cause of the problems reported. SciFinder developers are actively working on creating solutions.
