I have successfully made arc protractors with the Conrad Hoffman program on a Mac. ALL necessary software is free. Note that I've been a Linux user for years, so my definitions of "easy" are not the same as is bog standard. Nothing here requires building from source code or anything like that. You will need X11 (which is part of MacOS, but not everyone installs it) and WINE (a program that will give a basic Windoze file system and the ability to run Windoze programs. The easiest way to install it is to use MacPorts or Fink). My recollection was that there was a trick to getting WINE to see my printer, but I can't recall what the issue was, only that it was relatively easy to resolve.

I can post more details if this is of interest to anyone.
