EC Illinois / WC Indiana | Long time MAC user, who isn't set up to dual boot windows on the machine, Is there any software available to view and work with .yld files on the MAC?

Central To Everything and Close to Nothing | Unfortunately not, as far as I know that is. I use a Mac and run VMWare Fusion to run Vista as a virtual machine. From there, you can run Ag Leader SMS, or whatever ag GIS you want to use to read those files. |

| As above were running a mac with VM Fusion & Agleaders SMS software, works without any issues. |

Central To Everything and Close to Nothing | Same config here too. For the most part SMS runs the same as it does with the Mac booted to Windows with Boot Camp but does seem a little sluggish when accessing files on the Mac side to import into SMS. I think that is a Fusion issue but I see there is version 3 now which is supposed to fix that issue. All I use windows for is to run SMS and Apex so you can turn off a lot of windows stuff to make it run a little faster. |

| I run Parallel's Software to create the virtual machine for my SMS program. It seems to work just as quickly as my laptop which has windows vista for its OS. You can download parrallel's onto your mac for around $70. I haven't updated to snow leopard yet, but I have seen that parrallel's has been updated for both snow leopard and windows 7. |
