I agree with you about FD4. That was a sleek and reliable product. Maybe I still have the installers someplace. However porting it to OS X is basically impossible, or at least it would be quicker to just write a new app (which is what I'm doing right now). The reason for this is that the text-handling is done by a system called Paige which went out of business a decade ago, and lots of the screen-drawing is done by incredibly low-level utilities which bypass the OS text layer completely.
