This particular machine is a PowerPC based machine that I am using as a test 
machine for compatibility before upgrading other machines to Leopard.  

I downloaded the MATLAB installer directly from the website.

There is no mac or maci folder in the bin folder - looks like the installer isn't 
creating it.

Is Leopard officially supported, or are they going to laugh at me if I call tech 
support?  :)  

I realize that a pre-installed version of MATLAB on an upgraded machine 
might still work - I was specifically testing the installer.

Thanks for any advice,

JAW
