Compatible with Windows version

SM-Reports Work File for macOS is compatible with the Windows version and work files can be opened and saved with either version interchangeably. If you have previously used the Windows Work File program then using this one is the same.

One difference is that this version does not include the commands normally used by the report administrator. This is because the administrator needs to be running SM-Reports on Windows already and does not need to use this version.
