[Scilab-users] Any chance SciLab 6 operational again under macOS 10.14?

[Heinz Nabielek]

I have the Scilab 6.0.1 icon in the dock, but still does not startup. Java 1.6 also a problem, because "newer version is already installed".

From the command line, I get the messages as below...

/Applications/scilab-6.0.1.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/scilab -nw
