If you continue this type of behaviour, you will be banned from the forums.

And by the way, you still seem not to understand that Cider is not an "app" - it is a development tool (for use by programmers, not by end-users).



As others have said above, these forums are not the place to ask about where to get software - especially not Windows software! Google is a good starting place for most queries.

More generally, note that before you post here, it is expected that you have already googled for solutions to your problems - and you should explain what info you have already found, what you have tried, what results you got, etc. A one line post asking for help is almost always wrong (doesn't meet the above requirements).

It's an compatibility engine App that developers can wrap an EXE into and then it mostly mostly translates calls to DirectX components (Direct3D,DirectSound,DirectInput, etc.) into Mac system calls. It apparently is based on the free WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) which is also the basis of CrossOver and CrossOver Games. It does not work with all games, but many people have been using it to get certain Windoze games running on Intel based Macs without installing windows! Many official ports are starting to use it instead of making a 'real' Mac version. Also, some hackers are using it to make unofficial ports. FarCry, GTA, NFS Most Wanted, I know have been unofficially ported.
