I know that people often mention a WINE-bottled CiderPress which works. 
Indeed, I had been using it for a long, long time. It was prepared by a 
user group in Australia, if memory serves, when the last version came 
out.

But you know... that setup went pear-shaped on me recently. Despite 
what CiderPress was showing me in the GUI, it consistently created disk 
images that were corrupt in some way. Mostly I'd see it in either 
images that wouldn't boot or long BASIC programs that couldn't run and 
displayed corrupted characters when LISTed. Another symptom I'd see is 
that CiderPress would stop launching. I never could figure out why but 
that condition also prevented my Mac from restarting cleanly.

Eventually, I dumped that bottled version and reinstalled clean with my 
system install of WINE. That's been working fine.

I don't know why I shared this. Maybe I hope one day there can be 
various, native-running ports, but it's nice to be able to use it at 
all. It's a great program. There has been so much I've been able to do 
because it exists. I don't think I'd trade it for anything else.
