Working on it, but despite our efforts, we just have not yet been able to make a marketable transition from PC to Mac.
The VBA coding in the Mac version of Word is just not sufficiently developed (by Microsoft) to allow a smooth transfer of code and more importantly, the forms, from one to the other. The forms transfer from PC to Mac in about a 4 to 2 ratio (practically microscopic) and each requires manual redrawing. Redrawing each of the 85 forms that comprise the Pathagoras system 'by hand' is very time consuming. That's not to mention the hundreds of hours spent fine tuning the coding. And, further, every time I make a feature changes in the PC version (which is a regular event), I need to add it to the Mac version to keep the documentation in tandem with the program.
We actually have a working model that my betas report as being functionally 'satisfactory'. However, it still has inexplicable bugs, inexplicable full system crashes for the 'easiest' of routines, and the smaller than satisfactory screenage. In other words, it is just not ready for any commercial market.
We have not yet set a new target date for its release. Sorry to disappoint.
Apple/Mac gurus sought. (Not betas at this time, however. Got lots.) But if you are someone who has experience with the guts of Microsoft products vis a vis Macs, let's talk. Write to me here.
