Hi Charles,
actually you can run BB on Mac OS X using Wine. You can use one of 3rd party package managers to install Wine on Mac OS X or you can download some binary versions of Wine. I tried many of them and my choice is MacPorts <
http://www.macports.org/> . Download *.dmg for your OS and install. Also you need Xcode Developer Tools freely available from
http://developer.apple.com/.
Run from Terminal:
$ sudo port install wine-devel
to install recent version of Wine (it will take some time) and then
$ sudo port install winetricks
to install winetricks. winetricks is very useful for configuring Wine. For example, by defaults fonts in BB under wine in Mac OS X are ugly. To improve run from terminal:
$ winetricks fontsmooth-rgb
To install BB simply cd to the directory with installer and run:
$ wine SetupBlackBox16-rc6.exe
To run BB use (assuming you do not change the installation path at the previous stage):
$ wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/BlackBox\ Component\ Builder\ 1.6/BlackBox.exe
That's all about BB on Mac OS X.

Also you can use Oxford Oberon-2 Compiler <
