I've got , I've used it, I *DO NOT* recommend it.
Its no longer even on my machine; wanna buy it from me;-)

Its simply so slow that its useless (even running on a IIci with a cache card,
and a math coprocessor).  Its also not cheap.  

If you have to run msdos applications you would probably be better off buying a
cheap clone.  

If you need to use material generated on someone elses PC, you would probably
be better off buying a translator program (I use MacLinkPC from DataVis).
