[oXygen-user] parallel installation of different oxygen versions

[Jakob Fix]

Hi Adrian,

and thanks for this useful information. I can't remember right now,
but it seems to me that the installation on a Mac OSX doesn't actually
allow to specify a directory. Could you confirm that I can install
another version w/o problem on that platform?

thanks,
Jakob.
