I e-mailed Jari the other day to ask if there were plans to develop the plug-in for OS X, but alas there are not.
However, the source code for the original plug-in is available at:

I know absolutely nothing about plug-in development, but is this a huge task to undertake? | Back to Top | |

Maybe one option would be to get someone like Philip Aker to go through and prepare them for OS X. We could get a collection of money going through PayPal and pay him (or Jari himself?) for the time needed to get them going in 2004/2005/+. I wonder how much it would cost... | Back to Top | |

Although I haven't done Finale plugins before, I am a professional software developer with many commercial products under my belt and with all of the necessary tools and knowledge. The problem is time... But if there was a bit of money involved I might be able to make some time. The plugin would still be free, as this is in Jari's license agreement. If there is enough interest, I could start on it.
