Re: vDosPlus packaged for the Mac



Dr M--Muchas gracias for this. I've been running your vDosMac.app (creation date Oct 2 2016); XyWrite 4 runs beautifully on it, with quirks, which I won't go into here. But satisfactory plus. What is to be (potentially) gained by using this current offering?

Purely as an experiment, I’ve packaged vDosPlus for use on a Mac via the superb Wineskin Winery program. This is a variant of the vDosWPMac system that I put together for running WPDOS on a Mac. It comes with no support whatever, and, on the machine where I’m working now, I don’t have a working copy of XyWrite or Nota Bene to test it with. Launch it once and read the message it displays in its screen, and you’ll figure out where to put a XyWrite or Nota Bene folder.

The one essential point is this: The first time you launch the application, do NOT double-click on it, because OS X/macOS will tell you that the application is damaged. It is not damaged. Open it the first time by doing this: ctrl-click the application; choose Open from the menu, and follow the prompts. After you do this once, the application will open normally when you double-click it.
