For you Mac users out there who want to run decom here's my experience. 
First Virtual PC is a far and away better DOS/Windows downgrade than 
SoftPC. It has very nice performance and with a G3 you will think you 
have a co-processor card.

BUT Decom won't run in the DOS window while in Win95, it will crash. The 
fix is to go to the Start menu and choose restart under DOS. Then you 
need to use the hideous, caveman-like DOS command line interface and boot 
Decom that way.

On a 1400/166/40 I get very nice performance. When you quit it will ask 
you if you want to save the "state", click yes and the next time you 
re-boot you will drop right into DOS very quickly.

 Jim
