Running OziExplorer on a MAC
OziExplorer can run on a Mac using a PC emulator. For older Macs use Virtual PC or for new Macs with the Intel CPU use software called Parallel.
Using
Virtual PC Version 6.1 or later.
However
Virtual PC on the Macintosh needs an option enabled before running.
Before the code of an application is executed Virtual PC for the Macintosh
pre-translates the blocks of i386 code to PowerPC code to achieve higher
performance, this is not compatible with the code security method
OziExplorer uses so it will not run.
To use OziExplorer within Virtual PC on a Mac, you need to
disable this pre-translation. This is can be done on Virtual PC 6.1 and later
versions.
Instructions to disable pre-translation
Start the Virtual PC session as normal
In the Mac Finder, navigate to the Documents folder in your Home folder. Open the Virtual PC Scripts folder.
Open the Toggle Compatibility Mode script by double clicking it.
The script opens in Script Editor.
Click the Run button at the top of the script window.
Click OK to the informational dialog that appears.
Click Enable in the next dialog.
Return to the PC session, which is now running in compatibility mode, and start OziExplorer.
