For me, the combination of Agent (4.3) for Windows running under
CrossOver for Mac (9.0) and XQuartz for Mac (2.5) is unsurpassable.
There isn't any Usenet Client for Mac that it can beat Agent. And it
can run without any problem in a Mac (Snow Leopard) in that way.

As he said, you run it under Crossover for Mac.

How do you get Agent to work under Crossover. I just downloaded the 30
trial of Crossover and it doesn't support Agent?
Can you advise please?
