The help system is available at any time by pressing key F1. The help system is derived from this manual and should be
consulted whenever you have questions as it is easier to navigate. You can also print the complete manual from the copy
in the program folder via the HELP menu.
1.3 Installing on a MAC with Crossover
The SeaMarks program may run on an Intel based MAC under CodeWeaver's Crossover Program. However, with the
latest versions of the OS and Crossover, the installation is problematic. First, get the trial version and install Crossover
(Impersonator). You can follow the instructions in:
http://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/mac/mactutorial/unsupported_install_file which are summarized below.
First, create a "bottle". The bottle is a container for the SeaMarks program that keeps it isolated from the MAC
operating system and makes it think it is running in Windows. Crossover is not a virtual Windows environment, but a
translator so you do not need to buy a legal copy of Windows. When you insert a Windows created CD, Crossover will
offer to Install the Disc for you. You will be installing an "unsupported application". Click on "Install" to open up the
Crossover Software installer. You'll see that Crossover has identified the CD and will use it as the installer. Now, scroll
down on the list of Applications, and highlight "Other Application" by clicking on it.
Crossover will automatically name the bottle with the name of the identified CD. If you'd like to change the name of the
bottle so you can more easily remember what is installed, click on "Will install into a new winXP bottle" and change the
name in the field under "New Bottle Name". You'll likely want to give the bottle the name: SeaMarks. Click on
"Install" in the lower-right corner to Proceed. Crossover will first create the bottle, and then run the Program's installer.
If all goes well, you'll soon see the installer menu for the SeaMarks program itself. Follow the installation steps as you
would on a Windows machine, keeping all of the defaults in place. If, for instance, the installer asks you about installing
files into "C:\LoranGPS", don't change anything. Crossover will create a "C:\LoranGPS folder", to satisfy the Program's
installer.
When the installation is complete, click on the "done" that your SeaMarks program offers. Crossover should then report
that the installation is complete. Click on its' "Done". You should now have the blue and green Earth Icon on the
desktop and be able to run the program
Why do they call it a “bottle” when “container” would be better? Well they based it on an earlier version called Wine,
that's why.
The alternative to Crossover is an emulator. Some full emulators include Parallels, VMWare, Virtual Box, or Boot
Camp/dual booting. Those all require you to purchase a copy of Windows. The cheapest solution is often to buy an
older PC laptop to run it.
