[Lexicog] FileMaker Pro 7

[Nicholas Thieberger]

Brook/Wayne,

Shoebox is a mac application (under Classic), but Toolbox does 
require Win emulation at the moment. Shoebox is not that stable under 
Classic (save often!).

>Brook, you should be able to continue using Shoebox on your Mac if 
>you are willing to use a Windows emulator. I know things processes 
>slow down, but you don't usually need fast speed for your lexical 
>files until you are doing some data-intensive massaging, such as 
>re-alphabetizing, doing other sorts, extracting specific semantic 
>domains, etc.
>
>I'm sure there are others on here who would be able to comment on 
>how well Shoebox or Toolbox works under Windows emulation on a Mac.
>
>I guess I'm getting old enuf that I'd rather stick with software I'm 
>familiar with than climb another learning curve. But you may enjoy 
>that climb. If so, more power to you.

>In fact, I had been using Shoebox/Toolbox, but recently switched to

>If anyone has any more comments or experiences about using FileMaker

>Thanks again!
