If it is an Intel based Mac you can use Wine. If it is an older (pre-2008 Mac) using a PowerPC processor, you are basically out of luck. For Intel based Macs I highly recommend using the MacPorts product and installing Wine Development, not Wine Stable (the last update to that version was one and one-half years ago.) Using MacPorts is outside the scope of the project and if you encounter difficulties with it please use their forums for assistance. James
