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).

copy protection schemes.
