eDrawing viewable on a MAC

(OP)
If I send an eDrawing .exe file in zip format to a MAC user, would they be able to view it?  I think this was disussed before but wasn't able to locate the thread.

Thanks in Advance

RE: eDrawing viewable on a MAC

Unless the Mac user is running Windows emulation software, eDrawing will not run on a Mac platform.
If emulation software is being used, then yes, the Mac user should be able to read an emailed, zipped or unzipped, file.

    What about if I send the file as an html file.  If the MAC user has Internet Explorer, should they be able to view it?  I understand they would need the eDrawings plug-in, but just wondering if that plug would work for IE on a MAC.  I am clueless in the Apple World, so thanks for the help.

Hmmm, I don't know.... Why not just try it and see?

I believe the anwser to HTML is yes, at least it did for the first version of HTML eDrawings.  We had a customer who did it.
