I'm guessing since 9 years have gone by it didn't happen. It's a shame, really, there's still no new softwares that match how good GenoPro is!

GenoPro data is in xml format so there is no problem reading it. It is essentially a text file containing format details (as text). As such a Mac will be able to read it.

If you look at the back history it is very unlikely there will be a Mac version of GenoPro so Mac users will have to use one of the ways to run PC software

Hi, guys. I would love to see GenoPro become available for the Mac environment! Would the Mac software be capable of reading a GenoPro data file originally created in the PC environment? That would be REALLY GREAT! Include that if you can, if you ever do this project . . . thanks!!!! Would hate to lose all the data I've gathered on my family and have to start over just because I can't transfer the file onto my Mac . . .

The only changes are with the Mac itself. Latest models use Intel chips and so can also run an alternative Windows OS. Older models need a different approach.
Mac OS is Unix-like and as such there is a Mac version of Wine which allows Windows programs to run.
On Unix/Linux Pcs GenoPro can run under Wine - search the forum about this and also the Help file. The main problem at present is that the Report Writer does not work - at least with my version of Linux/Wine.

Dear Folks,

I am a psychotherapist and need a simple to use genogram maker with readily available phone support that can be used on a Mac. I will gladly pay for this product and the phone support time. If you do not offer such a genogram maker would you please refer me to someone who may offer this service. Also, I do not have clue what this site is about or how to use it. If you have an answer to my need would you please email me at: fritzlan at comcast dot net

Thank you,

Larry Fritzlan

Hi,

Having tried practically every other piece of software, I keep coming back to GenoPro as my software of choice, and it's probably due to the elegant way it lets you add family members via the Genogram. However, I'm on a Mac, so I currently have to do this via VirtualPC, which isn't ideal. Sad Pete

I would be interested to know how you get "Virtual PC" to work on your "Mac" as you might notice on the last page I mentioned a cousin who bought GenoPro but had no success with "Virtual PC" on his "Mac".

Could you please explain what is needed to get it to work so that I might help him set it up ?

So, being a programmer, I have this big hairy amibition to write a GenoPro-like program for the Mac. This may go nowhere, but I'd like to give it a stab. The shot in the arm for such a development project would be understanding the programming logic behind drawing the Genogram - any chance you could share that info? I'd fully understand if you'd rather not.

Pete


Yeah I am another Mac fan of GenoPro and I always recommend it to new found cousins who are PC based, who I have to share data with. I would use a Mac version if one were to be developed. I use "Reunion" family tree program and I would love to see the drawing aspect of Genopro in it. Smile

Regards Michael

2. I think you might be missing my point. I already have Virtual PC, and in fact I also have 7 Windows-based PCs too. Embarking on this project isn't about just developing GenoPro Mac so I can avoid buying a PC box. The reason this project sparks my interest is because I think GenoPro is the best program in its genre, and given I have some talent in developing Mac applications, I'd like to give it a shot.

To address your specific point regarding the cheapness of a PC that can run GenoPro; sure, you can get a cheap box, but I doubt that would appeal to the majority of Mac users who have bought an iMac because of its style. They're hardly likely to want to put an old dumpster-worthy PC next to it to run a single app Wink

I have a distant relative who has bought GenoPro and tried Virtual PC as he has a Mac but had no success (he is retired and started computers late in life) So your project would be of great interest to him.

Do you have any time scale on this project? Smile
