I just discovered this great tool will work on MacOS X when using 'CrossOver' (a wine based solution to run non-native apps without a full blown Windows installation).

I tried using CrossOver v9, installed .NET 1.1 first and then the toolbar editor into the same bottle.

That beats firing up VMware or Parallels any day, especially since it doesn't require a Windows license at all. The resulting .tcl files worked nicely when put into ac3d's script folder, only toolbar images needed their path added manually with a text editor after export. Apparently the Toolbar Editor simply skips writing the path into the tcl file. It does add it to the commented line preceding each button though. Not sure if thats an issue due to running in CrossOver.

Anyway, if you use Mac you can give it a try. There apparently is a time limited demo of crossover available online on the codeweavers.com site.

cheers
