I've gone to the codeweavers website & filled in the info to trial Crossover Mac 7.1.0. An pix/icon comes up beside 'Download crossover Mac 7.1.0'. It is not the same as the icon in all the info re installing. When I drag it over to application it is just a 4KB pix that does nothing. when i hit download-something downloads & when I go to that in downloads it says that there is no default application to open the document & it won't allow anything to open to open it. As you may guess I am not strongly mac literate. Am I missing something obvious? thanks for any help you may give me. Liz HI David

You certainly have a long history with Info Select! I really struggled to replace Info Select with a native Mac application, but I was never satisfied with the other programs. Info Select simply works the way I do. Thanks for letting me know that IS 2007 works. I use Info Select daily, and I would really like for Micro Logic to create a Mac version. That would solve a few of the minor issues that I have experienced (like not remembering the size of my window from session to session). David John,

I've been using Info Select for nearly 20 years now, and with my recent move to an iMac I was VERY reluctant to drop Info Select, as one can imagine. Initially I tried Parallels with a virtual Windows Xp installed, but it sometimes conflicted with Info Select. I next tried the Boot Camp method for XP. There Info Select ran as normal, BUT...... the switching from Leopard to Xp was so slow and drawn out it was not very convenient. After searching the forums I came across your publishings on the subject of Info Select and tried CrossOverMac 6.2.1Info Select 2007-0-42 works 95% OK.Leopard 10.5.5 for OS. It's early days yet, & tranfer of data files has not been trouble free, but it looks VERY promising. THX for leading the way. I'm now about to buy the CrossOver software. Thank you for pointing the way.

David Hi Terry,

My .wd2 files are in this folder:

They also appear on my system in the following folder:

Hope this helps.

I'm not "allowed" to drag them into the Infoselect folder. Consequently, I can open any file I double click but all the folders are not present in my finder to choose from. I guess the question is, .... after installing the program, where do the backup files live? Have I missed something obvious? thanks for all your research etc., Terry I installed Infoslect with no problem & it seems to run well however I don’t know where the .wd2 data files belong.
