EViews

 Mac  Notes  
 
 
Quitting  EViews:  
Quitting  from  the  standard  OSX  menu  (EViews-­‐>quit  or  cmd+q)  will  
terminate  EViews  without  saving  your  work.  To  have  EViews  prompt  for  
saving  prior  to  exit,  you  should  use  the  EViews  menu  item  “File-­‐>Exit”  or  by  
pressing  the  red  dot  located  in  the  EViews  caption  bar.  
   
Drive  notation:  
Within  the  EViews  application,  you  will  often  see  the  z:  drive.  This  is  the  
equivalent  of  the  root  drive  of  your  system  “//”.  Because  the  EViews  7  SV  is  
not  a  native  OSX  application  and  in  fact  a  port,  some  Windows  constructs  
were  ported  over  as  well.    Some  Unix  constructs  are  not  supported  when  
specifying  a  path,  such  as  the  ~  symbol.    
 
Searching  in  help  system:  
The  search  tab  in  the  help  system  has  been  removed.  This  is  due  to  
compatibility  issues  when  using  chm  (a  Windows  format)  files  on  OSX.  We  
recommend  searching  PDF  files  of  the  help  system.  They  can  be  found  in  the  
‘EViews  7SV/Docs’  directory.  
 
Menuing:  
All  EViews  specific  menu  items  can  be  found  within  the  EViews  application  
window  and  not  in  the  standard  OSX  menu  at  the  top  of  the  display.  With  the  
exception  of  ‘Quit’  all  menu  items  in  the  standard  OSX  menu  do  not  affect  
EViews.    This  includes  the  ‘Help’  and  ‘Help-­‐>Search’  menus.  
 
 
Asian  systems:  
Editor  windows  (such  as  the  command  window)  will  always  default  to  using  
a  font  that  supports  the  language  of  your  machine.  It  may  therefore  appear  as  
though  font  selection  is  not  working  in  cases  where  the  chosen  font  does  not  
support  the  language  of  your  machine.  On  Window  systems,  you  could  use  
any  font  and  if  that  font  did  not  support  a  particular  character,  Windows  
would  choose  a  font  for  that  one  character.  Wine  uses  an  all  or  nothing  
policy.  
 
On  some  Asian  systems  (such  as  Korean)  paths  or  filenames  that  contain  
non-­‐ASCII  characters  are  not  supported.
