WordSmith on Apple Mac

Thanks to Apple now using Intel chips and to Apple Boot Camp, it is now possible to run WordSmith on a Mac in its own copy of Windows.

This is System Information on one such machine:

Boot Camp runs a copy of Windows (instead of just trying to emulate Windows), so all Windows programs should be OK. You have to re-boot the Mac, choosing whether to be in Windows or Mac OS.

This is WordSmith on it after computing a set of over 9,000 lines of concordance of BNC:

I have had reports of people using Crossover, mixed reports: some say they have had success. Crossover attempts to emulate Windows; I understand it does not manage all Windows functions, and I do not recommend Crossover for use with WordSmith.

Parallels, however, reportedly gives excellent results. Like Boot Camp it runs a copy of Windows which you install, and doesn't just emulate Windows. The advantage of Parallels is that you can run both the Mac software and Windows at the same time, copying data from one to the other.
