WORDSMITH ON APPLE MAC & LINUX?
WordSmith on Apple Mac
Using a dual-boot system like Parallels or Boot Camp, WordSmith can run on an Apple Mac. Pierfranca Forchini of the Catholic University of Milan finds VM Fusion (about US$50.00 in the US) works best for her as Windows software like WordSmith works alongside the Mac OS software. Another alternative (free) is Oracle's VirtualBox.
Linux
Using WINE, Windows applications can be run on computers that use UBUNTU as their operating system which means that WordSmith can be opened and used in a Linux setting.
