While I cannot answer all of your questions, I can answer a few... >(3) Is pc-ditto a worthwhile product? Yes, pc-ditto is a terriffic product. While it is not extremely fast, it does get the job done and opens up the owner to an avalanche of public domain software or commercial s/w. The only problem I have had so far is that it is slow with games. >(4) Would it be practical to run an MS-DOS DB package on the ST using > pc-ditto? Yes, I have used dBase III+ with pc-ditto on my ST. It's functional enough. It is kind of eerie seeing the IBM-pc font on the screen all the while typing away at the ST. I really do not notice the speed in dBase III+, except when typing at the dot prompt. Otherwise (with Assist and the Applications Generator) it seems just as fast as the IBM. Good Luck! *************************************************************************** ferneau@silver.bacs.indiana.edu * Mark Ferneau ihnp4!inuxc!iuvax!silver!ferneau * include <ferrari.pic> ferneau@silver.UUCP * 'This Space Intentionally left blank' ***************************************************************************
