Mac, yes. though heretofore it's been by using the Virtualization engine that Microsludge bought (and will either discontinue or make it not work for DOS; mark my words). So getting it going under Parallels is a BIG step forward. And gamers are a large, vociferous group that the industry might hesitate to antagonize. Xywriters aren't.Most any sort of game is probably far more demanding (colors, sound and motion at a correct speed, animation) for emulation purposes than any word processor we've ever seen. If that can be done, I have to think there will be hope for us forsome time to come.-- Patricia M. Godfrey PriscaMG@xxxxxxxx
