I've never tried them on the Mac side of my machine, but in my experience all the TPS Series programs work well in Linux using WINE. The 'old' Morpheus et al works too, PAST 2.x works as well. With the TPS Series the only trick I need to do is starting the programs directly from the installation folder: the links in the main menu do not seem to work but this is clearly a very minor issue.
Thanks Jim for the continuous development of his series and for making them cleverly simple so that they can run on other platforms with little efforts. Cheers Andrea On 19/05/2015, F.
