i tried this before (a couple of years ago at best) and did not have
much success. i was able to get equest to run, get into the
wizards, and i think even simulate a project, but i found it rather
unstable in both wizard mode or detailed modes. i.e. equest crashed
frequently.<br>
<br>
i ended up buying vmware & windows 2000. this has proven stable
as all i run in windows 2000 is equest and a couple of
manufacturer's selection software that i need about once a year or
two and win2k doesn't have the overhead of vista or 7. the only
drawback would be having manufacturer software that i would somehow
need that needs a more current version of windows.<br>
<br>
if newer wine/emulators exist & allow equest to run stable on
osx 10.6 or 10.7 that would be good to know. i'm pretty sure i was
using 10.5 last time i gave the attempt some time.<br>
