Doesnt the Mac have an option to run Windows apps?
Chiefweasel: You can run Windows apps, but you have to install Windows either on a separate partition, then reboot into Windows to run them, or use virtualization software like Parallels to run them within Mac OS X (and a Windows install is still required). (This is actually how we run Hero Lab on our demo machines at trade shoes.)
Kurenen, sorry to hear about the issues you're having with Parallels & VMWare.
If you keep running into problems, try keeping backups of your Hero Lab folder - once a week, just copy the c:\HeroLab\ folder to your Mac OS file system. That way if you run into a problem like this, you can simply restore from a backup.
Hope this helps!

Well, Parallels and VMWare both failed me, and I lost a big deal of work, and Boot Camp is quite clumsy. Not to mention that in all three cases I need to keep an antivirus active.
Therefore I was really hoping to hear of some plans for a mac release. Even a WINE app would do.
Frankly I doubt that I will find the will to start all over again under Windows.

I appreciate your wiil to help. Truly I do. Unfortunately, all my work was M&M.
hmm... that's too bad. i know this is off-topic, but i use boot camp to triple boot (mac, winxp, and ubuntu) and it's been working like a charm. been using it for years now.
i find myself using winxp environment more often than not (quite stable and most reliable, from what i've read and from experience) to have access to fantasy grounds 2, herolabs, and among other gaming resources and online games. i don't even have *any* antivirus software running (never had) while using winxp (guess i'm either lucky or just a really safe-computing user
[knock on wood])i don't miss my mac too much. i guess i use mostly mac at work and don't really depend on it for gaming.
again, sorry for off-topic: i would give boot camp another go, if i were you. make sure you do exactly as prescribed when setting things up during partitioning and installation. also, you will want to figure out beforehand how much space to allocate to windows environment. i set drive at roughly 50%-35%-15% -- mac, winxp, and ubuntu respectively. once your environments are installed appropriately, it's a headache and time-consuming to reconfigure!
good luck!
