If you are new to Templot you may not realise that Templot is my hobby. I'm happy for other modellers to use it. It has been available for more than 25 years and has been subject to constant change and development over that time. This means that many of the user guides, tutorials and screen videos on the Templot Companion web site were made with and for earlier versions, so in reading them please bear this in mind. On the other hand you are unlikely to make much progress with Templot if you don't read them. 
Have fun with Templot.
Martin.

Templot is a Windows program. If you have an Apple Mac computer there are 3 ways to run Templot on it: a.use a program such as Winebottler (free, but needs technical knowledge) or CrossOver (easy) to install Linux+Wine on your Mac computer. Templot runs quite well this way, although you may see some issues related to font sizes. This is a popular way of running Templot on a Mac which does not require the purchase of Windows and does not use any Microsoft products. Many other Windows programs (but not all) can also be run this way. b.use virtual machine software such as Parallels Desktop within your normal Mac. This requires the purchase of a copy of Windows. In addition to Templot you will be able to run almost all other Windows programs. c.dual-boot into Windows using BootCamp. This effectively converts your Mac to a Windows PC at switch-on. This also requires the purchase a copy of Windows. When your Mac is ready, click the green button above to DOWNLOAD TEMPLOT. For more information about the system requirements for Templot click here.
