I looked just to make sure. PlayOnMac isn't on there either. It is possible I suppose that it was on there at one time and Apple took it down. But I never looked for it in the App Store before this morning.

I have no issue with someone trying something although it costs $5 to try it. It also hasn't been updated for almost 2 years and is using Wine 1.4.1. The current version of Wine is 1.8.1 I believe. It probably can't hurt to try it I suppose.

My apologies mpack. I just ran into WineBottler on Softpedia.com. I don't know why it didn't show up when I searched for it.

No need for apologies. As is well understood by now, I'm not a Mac user. I just passed along advice I'd heard from others. If that turns out to be correct then it's they who should get the credit.
