I've had limited success with that on Linux, I haven't tried it on OSX but
it should be similar.  Your best bet is to download Darwine from:
http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/

and then downloading winetricks. you can use a browser or just the counsole:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks

then, you can install .NET 2.0 by doing the following (in the same directory
you downloaded winetricks to):
sh winetricks corefonts dotnet20

if all goes right, this should install .NET 2.0 in wine.  Then you should be
able to open your application with:
wine NinjaTrader.exe

Theoretically that should work...


yours,
Bobby
