I suspect this might be a long-shot but I am chasing if possible an app to read *.ecw map files on OSX or if that is a fail an app that can read them on an Windows 8 notebook.
Thanks in advance.

You could also use QGIS though on osx is not included by default as with the windows installer.
The faq has a mention of ecw files.
