    I use BRE on my IBM-compatible laptop (love the functionality of BRE!) but would like to work either:
    A) Natively within OSX on a Macbook Pro, or
    B) As an IBM Session within VMWare on a Macbook Pro.
    Currently, BRE sees the VMWare session as an attempt to sidestep software protection.

    Because I do extensive authoring offline, I would prefer to avoid accessing our LAE Server to have a session there.

    Any suggestions? Is there an appetite for creating a Mac version of BRE?

    Thanks in advance.

    A future version of BRE is planned to be web-based, which should remove the OS dependencies.
    However, till then, a pair of questions:
    1) What specific error are you getting from BRE?
    2) How many CPUs is the VMWare configured for?

    If the error is over the number of CPUs, you MAY be able to set VMWare to only one or two virtual CPUs and get it to work.
