QuickLOAD, Macs, and OSX 10.15

[dcali]

Just wanted to share something that I just found out the hard way. For those of you who are using wine or Crossover to run QuickLOAD on a Mac:

The latest version of OSX (10.15) will break wine and Crossover in a way that will not be fixed any time soon (best I was able to decipher was *maybe* by the end of the year). That means any program being run through wine/Crossover will not work. So if you want to keep running QuickLOAD, hold off on upgrading OSX until this gets fixed.

You could try VirtualBox. It is free and fast. Done by oracle. 6.0.14 works with my mac at 10.15 with windows 10 as guest OS

I've not looked into it. I assume that would require a windows license?

I run Win10 without a license. It doesn't complain. Since I am retired and not doing it for a living and just to "play" ignore it. I don't know what version you are running but if it was a licensed version and you are running it on the same machine but just a different host, I would think it would qualify as valid. I am not a lawyer and I don't play one on TV so take it with a grain of salt.

So do you have a ballistics program that runs native on a MAC or do you run something else on a hosted OS?

I use a program I wrote. It will run on anything, and it's the guts behind the stuff on my website (https://bisonballistics.com). Usually I just use the website.
