Except for a very, very few PC executable files not meant to be run on a Mac, I can download and use ALL of the files that are marked "PC Only" in the Free Stuff and Marketplace sections of Renderosity...even though I'm just a lowly Mac user. Please, you PC people, I love your contributions but please, please get a clue! Mac people CAN and DO use the files you contribute to these sections all of the time. HERE'S WHAT TO DO... 1) Mark your contributions appropriately as "Mac/PC" 2) In the Read Me file, tell the Mac people to use the free utilities (like Aladdin's "Stuffit Expander" and Martin Christgau's "Poser Maconverter" to decompress the files and convert them to Macintosh format. 3) In the Read Me file, list the full directory path for where the files are supposed to go inside the Runtime folder (it's exactly the same on a Mac as on a PC except that Mac people don't need the .rsr files). 4) In the Read Me file, tell the Mac users that you're PC-based and can't support the Mac platform. It's okay...we'll understand. 5) If you need a Mac person to beta test your contributions, just ask. I for one am always willing to beta test the latest hot products. Why segregate the graphics-oriented people who happen to use Macintosh computers? Jeez! Can't we all just get along? :-)
