Thanks Martin,
The file extension for the MBS is easy
to change but I must I profess my ignorance here; what (if any) is the
default file extension for executable on a Mac?

Actually the situation with RC3 is much better than
what I experienced
with RC2.  Binary parsing works in this build and I think it is because
of the Mach-O parser that's included. 

The only issues so far that I can report (and I will file bugs for them)
is that 
(1) the default app extension is given as .exe whereas on 2.0.2 there
simply was no extension.
(2) For a debug session a default GDB is not selected - the drop down
box is blank - and one has to  manually select GDB.


Cheers,

Martin

For the Binary Parser problem, we sent to the list a "Generic parser"
that should help you overcome this next time.

So it looks like(according to the PR) that you managed to get things
going with cdt RC3 and folks with MacOX should enjoy the experience a
little bit more 8-).

Merci X 1000 for looking at this.
