There's a WineBottler version available isn't there?

Simply compiling won't help. Naturally, the source can be ported but...

CiderPress uses the MicroSoft Visual Studio 6 Compiler (very old) and MSC 
Specific Run-Times. What you have suggested would entail a complete port and 
is very non-trivial or Andy or David or some others would have done it by 
now.

I've had the source here for years so that part isn't news. I also have no 
problem understanding Andy's Code... anyone should be able to... he comments 
very well. Wonderful talent.

But it is a cost-benefit thing really. The time that we've got left on the 
planet. I spent my day today catching nets of fish under the ice in the wind 
and the snow.

We're having Minus 50 with windchill here on Lake Winnipeg tonight and with 
this much fresh air and fun to be had, who wants to be at a keyboard being 
mucho appreciated when one is over 60? I'd rather be appreciating our fine 
Canadian Weather and making some money and catching afew thousand pounds of 
fish.

Just saying. It's for reasons like this that the source is available I am 
sure, and that CiderPress hasn't been compiled under OSX. Now if someone 
could tell me how to roll-back the years I'd gladly accomodate:)

They catch fish in Saskatchewan too, and ship it to Russia in containers. 
Don't you Saskatchewan guys have fish to catch too while you still can?
