Torsion on Mac........sorta.

Hey All, For what seems like decades I've been dying to use torsion on a mac. I only use windows because of Torsion otherwise....Nothing but Mac :-). Anyways, I was watching G4 TechTV and saw an interview with the developers of CrossOver From http://www.codeweavers.com It's an application for the mac that allows you run windows programs without VMWare Fusion or parallels. It runs as a regular app. There is quite a list of programs that it currently supports. Torsion is not one of them but the developers have indicated that the programs that are not on their lists may or may not work. So I thought I'd give Torsion a try and Voila, it works.....sorta. As of now it's only good for editing your scripts. It does not run the game from torsion which disables your ability to debug your scipts.....a small sacrifice for now I suppose, but at least I can edit and manage my scripts as usual.

That's awesome news. I've been using parallels with Torsion, but I'd love to just dump the whole vista overhead.
I'm gonna wait a couple of weeks till I'm done with my current project and buzz you again to ask you how it's working for you.
Thanks for the useful info.
