[AWIPS #IRW-507154]: CAVE 20 for Mac ?

Hi Pete,

I was able to test the CAVE install on 12.6.3 and don't see why there should be 
any problem
with other versions of Monterey.

If we're able to gain access to a Ventura machine, I will let you know how 
testing goes on
it, however, I don't see any other big holdups with the Mac, unless it will 
somehow disallow
the use of Pytho3.6.  (This is a very small possibility in my mind right now, 
but 3.6 is
no longer supported by Python, so I could see it as a possibility).  We are 
also hoping to 
move off of 3.6 (to a newer, still supported version of 3), so this work is not 
yet finished
and still in progress.

Glad to hear it.  Sorry it took so long, this version had many unanticipated 
problems with
the initial Mac build.  Hopefully development will for the Mac will be smoother 
from here on
out.

Thanks.
