Hey gang,



My shop is looking into buying a Win 2K app for highend Film processing. the problem is that being a film guy I'm a Mac user (of course) and I resent having to deal with a wintel box when all of my other soulutions(FCP,AE, Shake, PS etc.) are on the Mac.



I would like to pressure the developer to port their app to OS X but I'll need some ammo.



What tools/resources are available for porting Windoze 2K apps to OSX?

    developer.apple.com



    sign up for a free developer account and download the latest developer tools (december) and you have basically all the tools. The developer network at apple is pretty damn complete.

    You'll have to make a real convincing argumnent, but good luck. If the company is truly interested, perhaps this <a href="http://developer.apple.com/macosx/win32porting/"; target="_blank">link</a> may help.



    Organizing several film professionals to request an OS X version will undoubtedly have much more effect than just one.
