RAVE and macOS

[Tins]

I've had a RAVE CD from Dave's shoppe for about ten years. It doesn't run on macOS, or OS-X, as it was then. Somehow I was able to make or get a copy of it that ran natively on my Mac. I can't for the life of me remember how, and now of course I can't find the copy. I know I can run it via emulation or BootCamp, but that is a PITA for one thing. Can anyone help me remember how it was done?

Hmm. Guess I'll need to get Acrobat again. Preview must not like it. Thanks Dave.

Dave, is it version specific with Reader? It won't open. Or, I could have got a corrupted version of Acrobat I guess. Sigh.

Are you trying to open the PDF or exe?

Nope. Nothing I have will open it. Other than Windoze on the little macbook . Oh well, I can get it online, although that's mostly NAS.

Ian, I left .exe, .bat etc behind a long time ago. The PDF should open. On the Mac's native pdf reader I get an error. Acrobat sullenly refuses to even try.

Seems likely. Had it for ten years I guess.
