Looking for a patched Mac/version

[drlukas]

Leave the maps in the .gmap format, put the two .exe and the .bat file contained in "unlock gmap.rar" into the .gmap folder, run "un.bat", and when it is finished the map is unlocked.
All maps directly usable, install under base camp and they appear magically unlocked.

I have been scouring he web for the installer for BaseCamp 3.2.2 for Mac and have not been able to find a copy anywhere. Do you have any recommendations on where to look? I upgraded to 3.3.1 and it caused irreconcilable problems with pocket queries from geocaching.com; the geocaches would come in as waypoints. I worked for a week to fix this and failed utterly. Keep Hope Alive.
