Lee,

To my knowledge, it's only for WINDOWS but you might call them and check.
It IS inconvenient (or impossible) to move between different platforms!
One thing you might look into is to see if there is a utility on your
Mac system that allows you to scan a file in TIFF format onto MS DOS
file. Then, you could take the file home and use it in your WINDOWS.
This is what I do, but not from a MAC platform. But, I do do my scanning
at work onto 3.5 diskettes and then bring them home to work on. It's a
bit of bother this way, as you end up scanning one page of score per disc.
By the way, it takes a full 1.4 meg/page for the TIFF file, no matter what
system you use. But, once translated to an intermediate MNOD file and then
to MIDI (which take up only a few K of space) you can trash the TIFF files.

By the way, if this discussion is too specialized for general Klarinet
readers, let us know and we can take off-line. But, since we've gotten
into electronic wind instruments and midi music for the summer, maybe its
okay?!
