Hi, Winbox is only ported to windoze ATM. There are threads asking it be ported to more OS, I use OSX so I understand your problem.

That it works well with wine in some distros of linux is useful though. I've used Lenny and wine to good effect for winbox. Sadly I don't have crossover for mac so I'm having to dual boot.

Josh.
