Hi -

It is asking a lot. Front Panel Designer doesn't have a way to export
images natively, so you'd have to print out the design, then scan it,
and then post it. Just so you could look at it - it's not like you can
do much else with pictures.

I also use a mac. I run vmware fusion on it, and have a windows xp
setup mainly so I can run the odd program like front panel designer
that doesn't have a mac version. I used to use virtual pc, which while
quite slow, was perfectly useable for running front panel designer. I
highly recommend vmware if you have an intel mac.

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for schaeffer to port their app to
mac - something tells me it's one of those things that sounds like a
great idea, but as long as they get enough business doing things the
way they are currently, it's going to sit on the back burner
indefinitely.

If it makes you feel better, I'll print out and scan a few of the fpd
files here - just let me know which ones you want, and try not to go
crazy.
