What's The Point of Playing the Ladder? - Page 2

Bobby,

I just downloaded it and unzipped the file. Then I went to open up the .exe file and it pops up a window with a bunch of jibberish that says it cannot be opened in a DOS format.

This is on a new MacBook Pro with the latest version of Office for Mac. You need an easier way of downloading it than this. I am fairly computer literate and this is far too frustrating.

Sorry, I now see deep into the text at the bottom that it is not compatible with Mac. That leaves me out.

Bobby Fazio · 10-25-2012, 12:39 PM

I'm sorry Kyle, yes at this time the protected version of the program is not compatible with Mac. While Excel itself does work on Mac, the program I am using to secure the XLS workbook from illegal sharing and copyright infringement is not. It is definitely in the works though. I know I am thinking about switching to Mac soon myself.

No worries. I think you have an excellent idea and I wanted to use is for many of the reasons you mentioned in prior posts. Oh well...

Install VMware Player and spin up a Win7 VM.

Thanks for the lead, but I would have to install another Excel for PC and I don't need to bog down my Mac with a virtual machine. Most stuff these days are being written for both formats and/or web based which I plan on sticking with.

Interested but I'm running a Mac also

Jeff Lee · 10-25-2012, 03:29 PM

Mac & iphone for me too. I am interested once you get it all ironed out.

Bobby Fazio · 10-25-2012, 05:02 PM

Yes I've been working on that and will do my best to get it going as soon as possible.
