I had downloaded the Codex Checks, but it is only in .exe format, which the Mac OS doesn't recognize...
I did, however, simply change the .jar files to .zip files and I was at least able to extract them... but there isn't a main program icon or anything, so I'm not sure if the program is self-starting or if I need to initiate it somehow...
Quinel: The non-windows folder is within the actual program download once you extract it... there will be that one and one that says windows. Once you get into the non-windows folder you will see the .jar files...
As for the Codex Checks download, it's only in .exe that I could see.

Do you have the Java Runtime Environment installed? If you do, you should be able to run the sljMoneyTree.jar file directly without having to extract anything other than the [Non-Windows] stuff (since I programmed it to be a self-executing package -- you'll notice a manifest file in the package if you unzipped the sljMoneyTree.jar file somehow (which is a step too far!), which tells Java exactly what to do when the JAR is ran). If you don't have the JRE installed, you could probably do a quick search on google for it.
hmm, I've also been trying to get this working on a mac. Problem is that codex checks setup seems to be in exe form. I've probably missed something, but I'd be interested to here how you've got on with this, Alicia.
The CodexChex come prepackaged with the Java programs. No need to install the CodexChex if you are not running Windows, just run the slJMoneyTree.jar directly if you have the Java Runtime Environment.
I have to admit, I have never tested this program on a Mac before. I have tested it using both Windows and Linux (Ubuntu distribution), and both seemed to support it fully at the time of testing. But because the Java Runtime Environment acts as its own "environment" complete with its own packages, it can theoretically run on any operating system that you can install the Java Runtime Environment on.
So install it using that. Shouldn't be a problem on a mac.
Yeah, huge problem unfortunately.
Macintosh computers don't recognize Windows executable files, and luckilly with all of the Java programs, the user doesn't need to install anything extra (since the CodexChex are packaged with the program).
I'd say, just make sure they have the latest version of the Java Runtime Environment (available from Sun Microsystems for free somewhere on the net).
Then open the JAR directly.
