I'd suggest you contact Author-it directly, they are a friendly bunch and will be able to give you an official answer. As for something similar on OSX, I'm not aware of database, based authoring systems. I'd imagine you could craft one using XML (DITA would be the way to go IMHO) and other non-proprietary technologies?? nicolai – not that I’ve heard.

I've not used AuthorIT with either product, but run many Windows apps this way without every having to see Windows (well, except momentarily as Windows boots within VMware). FWIW - not sure of anything particularly comparable to AuthorIT on Mac OSX. I’m just researching some AuthorIT questions and came across this post -

I'm not sure if Parallels is the right thing, but there is software out there that will let you run Windows applications, natively, on the newer Intel based Macs. You don't flip into Windows, you just run it like a normal app. Worth a Google. Anne, sorry I should’ve been more specific.
