Crossover runs the exe file perfectly, Lyn -- a Mac user doesn't even need to boot into their Windows partition (if they've installed one).

However, in order to drop the tgz file into the .kobo folder, you have to be able to see the folder itself. To do that, open Terminal and paste the following command (assuming you're running Mountain Lion):

Quote:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE && killall Finder
That command will render all so-called invisible files visible. To make them invisible again (if you actually prefer not seeing certain files), paste the same command into Terminal, only with the word TRUE changed to FALSE.
