Well, I don't think its appropriate to talk about the PC product in this
newsgroup.

But, since you brought it up, I can only say that it will be "different" from
the Amiga version.

As I've said before, the PC version is *NOT* a port of the Amiga code.  Its
all from scratch, home baked, new code.  Heck, we even had to write our own
software development tools to do it, and do it right.

In any case, because a PC is, well... a PC, there will be an exponential
increase in resources needed to perform as well as the Amiga version
(i.e. 14 MHz 68020 vs 100 MHz 80486DX4 and 6 MB RAM vs 16 MB of RAM).

You'll have to judge for yourself when it comes out (May 1st).
