Keith, thanks for your thoughts on this, I appreciate it. It seems from
what you say that Soft Windows will do what I want.

I don't think I will need this.

I have an 8600/200 which is pretty fast. Anything running slow is always
annoying, but I don't think this will be a problem either as I am only
going to use it occasionally  for viewing web pages, and if it saves me
buying a PC, then who cares!

Possibly, but version 5.0 is now available.

Thanks again.
