Hi Ajay,

I'm not a Mac user, so forgive me if this doesn't help!

I seem to recall that the Mac seems to freeze on the splash screen if another 
dialog pops up and the splash hides it.  Possibly the "GC crashed last time" 
dialogue.

Look in the directory containing your data file and if there are any .LCK 
or .LNK files, delete them.  Or start GC with the --nofile option, and then 
file->open.

Others certainly do have GC working on the Mac, and will chime in here, I'm 
sure.

HTH,
Maf.
