Here's the answer to my request if Capt'n log will be ported to OS X:
But would like to help but my programming experience with Mac is Zero. I'm a Mac user for only 4-5 years now. Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.

Thanks for your interest and question.
Captn's Log for Windows XP is developed using C# for .NET. As such it should in theory run on any machine that supports the .NET framework. I am not a Mac user and have never developed for the Mac so it is unlikely that I will port the program to that platform using native Mac tools. However if you are knowledgeable and adventurous there appears to be a .Net runtime available for the Mac OSX through the "Mono" project, but I am not sure how stable or popular it is, and in order for Captn's Log to be run there I would have to re-spin a version that didn't rely on the registry for it bootstrap information. Let me know how committed you are to trying that approach and I will investigate what it would take to build a version that *MIGHT* work. For now the easiest and best way to run Captn's Log on a Mac is by running it under a Windows emulator such as paralls.
