Celestia Forums

How can I best run the educational activities and their add-ons using a MAC? I've been emailing back and forth with Greg and he told me that Bootstrap will allow the ed activities to work, but there are some minor issues that you guys may have solutions to. Specifically, here is the original message:
I have been told that Celestia151-ED for Windows will run fine on a MAC
if you install an Apple program called Bootstrap. I don't know where
you get it or whether it is free, but apparently, it emulates Windows.
When it is running, all the links can be clicked, provided you do a bit
of editing. For example, the images that appear on page 4 or 5 of an
activity are to be clicked upon to launch Celestia151-ED. They contain
an embedded hyperlink that points them to a file located in the
"Activity_cels" folder, inside the Celestia151-ED main directory. That
hyperlink has an address pointing it to the C:/Program Files directory.
Since a MAC does not have such a directory, that hyperlink would have to
be edited in each Activity so that it points to the proper location
where the Activity_cels folder is located. Then ... with Bootstrap ...
it should work (so I've been told).

The problem is the Windows shortcut files. They are used with embedded
command lines in them to launch only a certain set of add-ons at a
time. In MAC's, they don't work without bootstrap running.
Thanks!
