Subject:Re: ETKA for Mac? -- yes and no VPC

I run two MACS but ETKA will only run on my desktop system and not my ibook.
The resolution is the problem there.

The laptop is an older G4 dual 866.
I have VPC installed and win2k pro and winxp pro PCs installed with it.  The
new VPC with Tiger installed runs ETKA and EPC just fine as well as
mitchells and alldata.
