Welcome back, Sarah.
Check out Ann Lewin's CAQDAS Page to tell you which can and can't be used
on a Mac: http://caqdas.soc.surrey.ac.uk/packages.htm#INDEX
NB Some could be used with a PC emulator - but NVivo at least advises you
not to. Nudist 5 is PC only and will remain so according to Tom Richards
at the last IoE conerence. Nudist 4 can be used on both platforms.
Of your list only HyperRESEARCH is dual platform - though CISAID is not
listed on Ann's page I think it is PC only (Code-a-Text is). Alan
Cartwright looks at this list so doubtless he'll let you know for sure.
The website is http://www.code-a-text.co.uk/cisaid.htm . The Scolari site
says that it runs on "Windows 95 or later, or Windows NT"
