Hello, morfeas,

1) FET should run in macOS fully compatible. Just visit the FET Download page and get Darren McDonald's version precompiled for macOS. If you have an older macOS, you might need to recompile.

2) No problems.

3) No payment necessary. Only if you are kind and have the possibility to donate to sustain FET.

4) Yes, similar as in GNU/Linux and Windows.

5) Should be nearly the same speed. If you want to compare, start generation with the same random seed in macOS and other operating system on the same fet file and compare the speeds.

No problem about your English! :)
