Re: Non UNO Mac Editor... Anyone?



You know, there are ways of running windows software in OS X.  I use
WineBottler (free) for a couple apps and it works great.  In fact,
I've recently winebottled a bunch of my old windows games.  They
actually run better this way then when I load them up in my windows 7
partition (another option if you have a spare windows licence
collecting dust).

have a look here to get started :
