You should know that Wine only works on x86-compatible architectures. Macs use PowerPC architecture, which won't run x86 code, so Wine won't be able to run The Bat. Under PPC Linux, it's possible to use Qemu <http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/> to run x86 executables directly, however Qemu is still in development, though some people were successful in running Wine with it. But it's user-mode emulator (which is required for running programs compiled for another architecture directly) is currently Linux-only, and even though OS X port is in progress, it is not usable yet AFAIK. The only option currently would be to use either Virtual PC or Qemu system emulator, and install Windows and The Bat in it. -- < Jernej Simoncic ><><><><>< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > An executive will always return to work from lunch early if no one takes him. -- Kelly's Law ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
