When we bought ours over a year ago they were only available for 
Windows. I tried it at work and the supplied program (written in VB) 
is truly horrible. At the time I offered to write a cross platform 
program for CarDisk but they never even replied. All I was asking was 
for a few technical details (ie no payment).

So I copied the PC CD onto another CD after having arranged all the 
files by type (ie owners manuals, TSBs, etc)  into folders (couldn't 
believe they had everything in one directory... crazy) and after 
having translated them all into PICT files (should have made them 
GIF). We just use Graphic Converter to read them now.

Contact me if you want to know more about this process.
