  Does anyone know of a way to run DOS programs on the Macintosh?  We'd prefer
a software solution as opposed to adding a board.  
  Here's the situation:  Due to the recent drop in Mac educational prices our
bookstore would rather recommend Macs than IBMs to the incoming students.
However, the majority of machines on campus are still PCs or compatibles (the
ratio IS changing) especially among the faculty.  Thus, several faculty
members would like to offer a course with a particular DOS program.  We'd
like to offer the students a way to run it on their Mac if that's their machine
of choice.
  Could someone out there please offer solutions?

Thanks in advance,
			Connie
