Bruce, If you are thinking of a San Diego SAT from several years ago, that was probably me running R:BASE on a Mac. I kept trying to get Razzak to release a Mac version of R:BASE but he didn't think the market would be large enough to justify the cost of writing and maintaining two versions of R:BASE. Maybe someday....
Albert, The advice Javier gave you is correct. Mac software comes with Boot Camp software already installed. It allows you to install a copy of Windows on an Intel based Mac. Just check the Apple support website for details. The only downside to Boot Camp is that you have to reboot your computer to get in and out of Windows. The other software Javier mentioned will allow you to switch between Mac and Windows without rebooting. I used Parallels successfully for many years but you have to keep buying updated versions every time you update to a new version of Mac software. Good luck!

Albert: At San Diego SAT, a young lady was running RBASE 95(??) passably well within a Windows shell on her MAC laptop. Can't recall [ 32 | 64 ], don't know OS version. But she might be a good "shout out" on the list. If she doesn't respond, call me 'coz I may know someone with the answers.

Has anyone successfully run R:Base 95 (64) on a Mac running Leopard? My Knights of Columbus Council runs a soapbox derby every year. We're no doubt too late for this year, but for next year I would like to put a satellite to my system on their Mac for this couple of weeks each year. We are not rich, just like every other volunteer group, but we can spring for a satellite license. That would save some work in getting all the entries in before the race day. 1. A few years ago the spreadsheet guru could not be found, and I R:Base'd the derby for two local councils. 2. Most of the data arrives at a local office that runs Mac only. 3. It would be more convenient for all if the data could be entered directly by the office owner. Thanks for any ideas anyone has. Albert
