 TAD works perfectly fine on Linux or Mac.  You need to install the WINE layer (sub-system) on those operating systems for TAD to work. Inside WINE, ensure that the MSScript controls and VBA are installed TAD works perfectly fine on Linux or Mac.  You need to install the WINE layer (sub-system) on those operating systems for TAD to work. Inside WINE, ensure that the MSScript controls and VBA are installed
  
-Unfortunately, the TAD **//installer//** does not work on those computers. You will need to first run installer on a friend's Windows machine; install it there -- and then transfer the installed TAD directory (Usually c:\program files(x86)\TAD Designer Lite\ to your Mac/Linux machine+The steps needed for a Chromebook are as follows:
  
-We are searching for a proper resolution for this. +TAD works quite well on Chromebooks. Here is a screenshot on HP x360 12b (12" version of their x360 series) It has 4 Gb RAM and supports a minimal version of Linux called "Crostini" You need to first install Wine and then Winetricks and then install the  msscript control via winetricks  
 + 
 +//Note the characters $> just means that you need to type into the terminal window. It represents the "prompt" there. So don't type $>// 
 + 
 +**Step 1:** \\ 
 +Ensure that you use the Linux feature of your Chromebook.  For this to work, your Chromebook MUST have this feature. So older Chromebooks may not work. Also, I think this will not work on non-Intel based Chromebook. That means, buy a Chromebook which is both Intel based as well as ensure it is based on the Intel chipset and not anything else 
 + 
 +You would need to start the Linux terminal on your machine. The commands given below need to be typed inside that terminal window. 
 + 
 +**Step 2:** \\ 
 +Install Wine, as also the 32 bit version of Wine 
 + 
 +Type these four commands one after another. Press ENTER after each 
 + 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$> sudo apt-get install wine 
 +$> sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386  
 +$> sudo apt-get update  
 +$> sudo apt-get install wine32 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +**Step 3:**\\  
 +Type these three commands to install a utility called winetricks. Press ENTER after each 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$> wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks 
 +$> chmod +x winetricks 
 +$> WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/wine-vb6" ./winetricks vb6run mdac28 richtx32 comdlg32ocx comctl32ocx 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +**Step 4: **\\ 
 +Install a utiltity called cabextract by typing this. Press ENTER after typing: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$> sudo apt-get install cabextract  
 +</code> 
 + 
 +**Step 5:**\ 
 +Install the MsScript contrul by typing this and pressing ENTER 
 +<code> 
 +$> ./winetricks msscript 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +**Step 6:**\ 
 + You would need to install TAD. Register at www.teamtad.com/regform.html  THen download the setup program from https://tad.in.net/tadsetup.zip Extract the contents of that into the terminal folder. Then type this command to unzip the folder 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$> unzip tadsetup.zip  
 +</code> 
 + 
 +**Step 7:**\ 
 + Run the installer for TAD. When you registered, you would have been given the install code. The installer would prompt you for it 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$>  wine tadsetup.exe 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +**Step 8:**\ 
 + Run TAD Designer Lite by typing this and pressing ENTER 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +$>  wine .wine/drive_c/"Program Files (x86)/TAD Designer Lite/bin/TADDesignerLite.exe" 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +//Note: The above steps are to be done only once. When you want to run TAD again, you would need to do only the last step//
