Hi KVS - How about an actual mac version??

While there is no native Mac version, the distinction (especially in this day and age) is largely academic, as many KVS Tool members continue to enjoy successfully running it on their favourite Mac machines every day -- please see the http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Mac section for details and screenshots.

Maybe to you, but not to millions of actual Mac users.

Would they be the same users, who actually run the KVS Tool on their favourite Macs every day? ;)

You're talking maybe dozens of people. I'm talking millions, i.e. the same users who won't run Windows or anything Windows-related on a Mac.

At the risk of fanning a flame here - you're talking about a choice, not an inability. The Mac users can run the Windows app but choose not to. This is the same as hardcore Linux/Unix users (and remember, Macs are really just running Unix/BSD at this point) who refuse to run Windows even though they could.

Bottom line - if they wanted to, they could, but choose not to.

I installed KVS through CrossOver but unfortunately this doesn't seem to work too smoothly, it more then often crashes so a native Mac version would be welcomed very much.

But if it's not possible then it's not possible, I'll keep a Wintendo arround just for KVS ;)

We haven't had any other reports of this, but if the issues with CrossOver Mac persist, please consider one of the other solutions, listed at http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Mac

Glad you feel that it is worth it! ^

Galileo ETR for flight searches not working

the next line that usually has error code info is a line of garbage

Only alternate way to search for AA as Sabre GTC is also NOT operational

The [Galileo: ETR] Engine is temporarily unavailable, due to maintenance as of approx. 1 hour ago, but should be back up and running shortly -- please use the Mobile Companion during this time or PM your request, so that we can look it up in a different system.

wondering if anyone can help me.

none of the prices i've checked from the different airline websites are correct, with or without tax :confused:

sorry if this is stupid. I've scanned read over the help on the program but I can't really see where i'm going wrong.

this can be used to search for cheap flight tickets right? :eek:

Have you followed all the steps at http://www.KVSTool.com/Planning-A-Trip.php?

Did you include both taxes and surcharges (http://Help.KVSTool.com/#Q20)?
