That is essentially correct. I have asked about Macintosh/Apple support on
several occasions and though some work is happening in that direction, it is
secondary in most cases to the work on IBM compatible systems. Within a few
months I would expect to see some stereo utilities coming out in support of
Apple, but I have no specific information as to when.

BTW, JPS is not any form of interlacing... though there will be programs
which will interlace from a JPS image, the image itself is not interlaced.
