Yes, if Mac is equipped with Win xp, winzip,& vmfusion. Other ways of running windows on a mac seem to work also.
G5 macs can download the unzipped file and put it to a usb stick for transfer to a windows equipped mac to be unzipped and put back on the usb stick also. Just FYI. Will post more as am able.
Maybe there should be, or is there a Mac area?

Hello! I don't know how well this is known, but you can upgrade the programing of a Viewsat Ultra using a G5 Mac running OS X Tiger, the latest version of neo-office, a USB flash drive, by way of the USB port on the Ultra.
Unzipping the winzip or winrar file was done with the neo-office installed on osx mac. Transferring unzipped file to the windows formated flash drive and then doing just as Grasshopper so graciously instructed in his tutorial.
I sincerely hope this helps the Apple followers.
