0000246: incompatibilty w 5 & 7, and macs
Why does version 5.2 of Mega not seem to work on Macs? I always get an error message when I try to open 5.2.
( I am new to use of Macs, so some things obvious to Mac users may be opaque to me)
I have a number of older alignments that I built in version 5. Version 7 doesn't seem to work well with them - I can open, but not translate DNA seq to Amino acid seq, cannot so many manipulations. so I would like to have a working version of Mega 5 to use along w version 7.

Hi Deb,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the MEGA software. MEGA is a native Windows application and uses Wineskin to run on Mac systems which does not work well for all users. If you are having trouble with the Mac version of MEGA, we recommend that you download the Windows version and run it using VMWare Fusion or some other Windows compatibility software.
