Thanks to all for the help and advice . The original advice to Mac (not MAC or mac ) users was:

"MAC users may need to install differently" :blink:

Thanks to your help, it has grown into a small HTML page. I include it below. If you feel it needs any corrections, additions or deletions, or you just don't like my atrocious spelling, punctuation, grammar, web style, or haircut. Let me know and I will try to fix it.

Advice on installing MirrorMags32 to Mackintosh Systems

I'm not a Mack user. This is the advice I have gathered from asking around. It does not come from personal experience. If in doubt, consult the documentation for your operating system, and any other relevant software, or ask someone who is familiar with installing to a Mac.

Doing a PC type install by extracting the zip file in your main Poser folder (or other place) may result in serious loss of data on Macintosh systems. Extracting the files and folders in the zip may overwrite the files and folders in your "Runtime" folder, rather than merging them as would happen in a PC.

Doing a safe installation on a Mac will depend on the methods you use, and the software you use to extract from the "MirrorMags32.zip" file.

PhilC has come up with a Poser Python script that can safely extract zip files to your Poser installation on a Mac. The script is to be run from within Poser. Below is a link to a page on PhilC's site where you can download the Python script. The page also contains a link to a tutorial on how to safely install the script itself.

I'm sure there are other methods and software that you could use. You will probably know much more about this stuff than me. If you have a method that you have successfully used in the past to do similar installations, and you feel confidant in it, by all means use that method. I have heard that "dittoGui" can be used on a Mac to merge, rather than overwrite folders, and that "Stuffit Standard (the full version) Has a preferences setting that will allow the new and existing runtimes to be merged.".

Note that the author will take no responsibility for any loss, damage, or other inconvenience caused by the installation or use of Mirrormags32 (MM32).

More general information on the installation, and a list of included files, can be found in the "Install.txt", brief instructions on a PC install can also be found in the
"MM32 QuickStart.html", that file also contains the information needed to to start using MM32.
