Platform Application Testing

An application I am writing needs to be as clean as possible for 3 major
platforms and 4 browsers for those platforms. These are (platformats
first): Microsoft Windows, *nix gui environments, and Macintosh along with
Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Opera, and the one for the Mac (don't
know the name of the Mac's primary browser).

I can test fine in IE, Mozilla, and Opera (hopefully they come up the same
in the *nix environment). What I need to know is how I can test for the
Mac's browser without having a mac? What engine does it use and is there a
port to a Win32 version?

Just tryin' to satisfy customers when I don't have as deep of pockets as
they do.

Thanks,

Mythran

there are two coomon browsers on the mac, IE (which is not the same as the
windows version), and Safari, which is fairly compatible with firefox. you
will need to test these with a mac (especially the mac version of IE).
