A Note regarding support for the Apple Macintosh

While we do not support the Mac, there are a few techniques  you can use to install our software onto your PDA from a MAC. For example, Lexabean can provide the files for your Palm or Pocket PC. You can then Hotsync these to your Palm or Activesync these to your Pocket PC. We have also found stuffit to be a useful MAC utility for uncompressing large compressed files (such as our video distribution). Stuffit can be obtained from www.stuffit.com.
