Well, here it is. A README file from the Sac (Ver. 3.0, I guess). This
list is pretty good, but does anyone know of other software that either
works or doesn't work? I'd like to keep compiling a list so that anyone who
wishes to buy a Sac knows what will and what will not run. Also, didn't
someone say something about Ver. 4.0 working with a color monitor?
Hope this helps someone (other than me).

More than likely, some of these failures are due to subtle
copy protection schemes.
