MacDive User's Manual

Introduction

This wiki has been created to provide assistance to users of the MacDive software package. The wiki is intended to be updated and expanded by the users of MacDive, which will keep Nick's valuable time focused on continuing to make great software.

This wiki also serves as the official documentation for MacDive. Keeping it online allows it to not only always be up to date, but it allows you (the users) to contribute tips and tricks for others.

Note: This wiki is intended for MacDive v2.x. Some of the information may be relevant to users of previous versions of MacDive but the focus is on using v 2.x and above.
