And the given link http://www.advanced.ch/wxwin/wx200macb2.sea.hqx is
broken.

on wxPython.org there is no indication of a binary for Mac aalong the
ones for Windows and linux.

So it seems reasonably fair to say "there is no Mac version available".
And I would be really pleased to be wrong.

Searching further, I got to this link:
http://www.advanced.ch/wxwin/

where I got this:
<<01/19/2000 : I've uploaded an archive of the latest 2.0 version.
Download (5.9 MB)>>

I am downloading it and will test it.
