evo on osX

GridPP uses the evo software for most of its videoconference meetings. It normally works pretty well (espcially when compared to VRVS / Access Grid) and the audio on my mac laptop is suprisingly good without the need of a headset.

However, todays java web start did an upgrade to 1.0.8 and broke the video client - it just refused to start.

Problem is caused by an incorrect shell script test in ~/.Koala/plugins/ViEVO/ViEVO

if [ "$OSTYPE" -ne "darwin9.0" ]; then
should be
if [ "$OSTYPE" != "darwin9.0" ]; then

and all works fine. RT Ticket [vrvs.org #2615] has been raised with the developers.
