Warthog Systems downloads

 Legal stuff...       Warthog software is free.  However, it is the property of the Regents of the University of California.  Hence, commercial resale of Warthog Systems software is prohibited, and no warranties or guarantees of any kind are offered.  If you use these programs, you do so entirely at your own risk.  They are intended for scientific research or teaching projects that do NOT involve human subjects!

Current versions (Intel only; MacOS 10.5 through MacOS 10.14 ['Mojave']; runs but not exhaustively tested in 10.15 ['Catalina']; may launch but does NOT work in MacOS 11 ['Big Sur'] or later MacOS versions

Note: when you un-zip the download files (which may happen automatically), you may have to drag the applications out of the folder they un-zipped in before they will run correctly (e.g., move the apps to the desktop).   I'm not sure why.

  • Since I'm not a registered Apple developer ($99/year to proved freeware), your computer's security settings may not allow the software to run (this is because the Warthog apps are neither notorized or codesigned).  If -- as is likely if you use the default security settings -- the apps won't launch and you get system warnings, go to System Preferences --> Security & Privacy and use your password to permit Warthog to load (you only have to do this once after a download).
