I am on an Intel Mac also and it works great. First thing is to make sure you are using Java 1.6
In terminal app type: java -version
It should reply with like this:
java -version
java version "1.6.0_12"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_12-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing)
I placed renamed the file to simply LRFTools.jar to make things easy and I saved it under my documents folder. I also made a directory called eBook and put the books I wanted to convert there.
in terminal type : cd /Users/(username)/Doucuments
then: java -Xms200M -Xmx300M -jar LRFTools.jar convertLRF /Users/(username)/Doucuments/eBook/ -HTML
Change the (username) to what you are using and the -HTML to what ever format you want to use. I am going to try it right now on mine to make sure that i am not full of crap
Worked like a charm. The above will convert all ebooks in the eBook directory into what you tell it to...
Then edit away and re-convert to LRF or epub or whatever...
