Satellite Tool Kit from AGI
And it doesn`t matter what software you find for Mac. We use what we have a
(very expensive) license for and has capabilities that we need. Just
because you find something on the internet doesn`t mean it can do what is
required.
The point is there is such a low amount of Mac users that mainstream
technical software companies don`t bother making their software for that
environment. And VM is not an alternative because it doesn`t work right.
It`s been fully tested by the IT department and Mac users. But then again,
there are no Mac users who can use the tools we need since they`re writing
emails and drawing pretty pictures.
