It is early days yet and there may be a work around possible but from my correspondence with MacBMDs creator when I was looking into adding the Post 1946 registration codes I don't not hold out much hope. He didn't seem to want to revisit the software at all and that is what prompted me to devise a "work around" solution. So in the short term I would strongly advise any Mac users not to upgrade to OS 10.7 "Lion" until we have established if Apple are prepared to produce a fix to this new Operating System to allow the old programs to be used. The only other solution is to have a new version of the software produced that will run on the current Intel processors that the newer iMacs use. In my case I have another Apple computer I can use in the interim that has not been upgraded but other FreeBMD users may not be so fortunate! Please forward this to the FeeBMD website and any other Mac syndicates. Cheers Rod
