-MoI plug-in scripts usually come as a .zip file, where the .zip file contains 2 files, an .htm file and a .js file. To install the plug-in you need to unzip it and then copy those 2 files into MoI's commands folder. On Windows the commands folder can be found inside the install directory here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MoI 3.0\commands . On Mac right-click the app icon and choose “Show package contents” and inside there go to /drive_c/moi/commands .

 Once the files are copied into the commands folder that will make a new command available to MoI. To trigger the new command set up a shortcut key and put in the new command name in the "command" part of the shortcut key.

		+	Note that the .htm and .js files should be directly contained inside MoI's commands folder and not nested down in any sub-folder beneath commands. Also for the command to run your shortcut key should contain just the plain command name as described above, no file extension and no script: prefix at the front.

-I have heard from quite a lot of people wanting a Mac version of MoI, so I don't have any doubt that there is a demand for it. It would actually be a really nice fit as well since MoI's UI would just fit in well on a Mac.

-One thing that may happen sooner than a full port would be some changes to the display system to enable running under an emulation system like Parallels (currently this doesn't work because Parallels does not emulate the Direct3D system well enough). It's still a fair amount of work to do that so I'm not sure when that will happen but it is much less work compared to a full port. (Update:  some people have reported that the latest beta release of Parallels has a better working Direct3D emulation now, see [http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=1873.1 here] for some settings to use in Parallels to enable it).

 So currently there is no plan to have a Mac or Linux native version out anytime soon.

 One last note - if you have one of the newer Intel-based Macs, you can use Apple's Boot Camp system to install Windows on your machine, and when you start your computer you will have an option to use either Windows or Mac OS. Booting to Windows in this way will run MoI fine because you are just running Windows directly in that case, not under an emulation system.
