Billy mentioned that he had a friend with a Mac whom he could ask for advice if there were unexpected problems, which there were not. The information he supplied was consistent with Leonard Williams'.
I bought the CD and read it under MAC OS X and I can add a little to what has already been said. There are directories on the CD with JPEG images and they are organized in directories, one directory for each vihuela book. Furthermore, there are text files that contain the names of the pieces with the names of the corresponding JPEG files. The only minor problem I have is that a lot of the pieces have names that contain special characters, which makes it difficult to do the kind of searches I like to do because I do not know the Spanish spelling nor, as of yet, the escape sequences that correspond to those characters. I'm sure it will be trivial to convert these text files to a format that is more friendly for barbarians like me. The bottom line is that I'm perfectly happy, but that probably has a something to do with the fact that I'm a old-hack, command-line dinosaur who abhors point-and-click. Nor do I care for pretty windows with sexy backgrounds, because I like to let my computer do the searching rather than my eyes. I care not for these Windows That must be woode and praide, Give me kind command lines and raw text interface.
