Arena Software and Mac OS X

Question

Does someone know or have tested a way of using ARENA software on Mac OS X?

Maybe using Wine or something similar.

Answer 1

According to the Chessfiles [ref. 1], Arena [ref. 2] can be played on OS X within Wine 1.0 or higher [ref. 3]. Likewise, Arena claims to function within Wine 1.0 or higher.

Caveat: some indicate Arena to be unstable within Wine [ref. 4], some have no problem [ref. 5, 6].
