It ain't exactly sparkling for speed but for occasional use its is more than adequate. You need LOTS of RAM, but if you have that it will do dandy things like run MS Word for windows 95. As I say, its a bit slow but perfectly emulates a real Pentium PC instruction set and I reckon everything about what you see on teh emulated screen is the same as would be on a real one. A Netscape screen in the emuator will give you exactly on screen what you would get from a real PC so as a cheap test bed Soft Windows will do you. Its definitely NOT fast enough for any PC games though, so don't get your hopes up (even version 5 is supposed to be not much faster that 4) ====================== / Stephen R Parker / / steve@parkfish.demon.co.uk / ======================
