PET for iMAC?

[john walker's workshop]

My windows PET won't load on my mac. I like that format with the menus and diagrams. Seems all there is just annoying PDF stuff to download.

PDF. I download it and view in Preview. Get familiar with the "Thumbnails" part of the viewer and you can navigate quickly and easily, as well as search for a part or term

Yeah I have gotten real good navigating the PDF on my mac.

Is there a best PDF to download or are they all the same?

Try Crossover and see if it runs. I've had good luck with Crossover running plenty of other Windows software. Haven't tried it with PET though. I think they offer a free trial version so you can see if it'll work.

PDF works on everything including iOS and Android.

I was going to suggest the same as lupin, I was a long time PC user but recently converted to Mac and had a few programs that are PC only i wanted to continue using. Crossover is working great for me.

With that said i still use the PDF version of PET.

This is how PET loads in my MAC.
Download any pdf reader and you will be able to use the PET.

You just need to know what operating system you have.
Click on the upper left apple logo, about this Mac and you will have the version of operating system

Crossover under Mac is a very good product, but, at least in my tests, it do not work with PET, because of and hardlock error.

The best solution I've found is using a virtual machine (Parallels or VMWare Fusion) with Windows XP and PET.
This way allows you to update the catalogs and prices.

If someone had success with Crossover can please give us instructions on how to fix the hardback error ?
