I have a small Mac tables app on the Trimix site called MigPlan. It works 
well but is ultra-conservative. I have a Powerbook 1400 which, using 
VirtualPC, will run Decom very nicely, if you have MacOS 8.1. Does not 
run with MacOS 8.5 for some reason.

The fact is that the market for tables software is very small and if you 
break out the divers with Macs it gets even smaller. Too small to make 
any sum of money. But the latest G3 PowerPC chips run VirtualPC with such 
speed that it really is not much of an issue to have tables software 
specifically for Macs.

G3 upgrade cards are getting very inexpensive, you can get one and 
VirtualPC (which I recommend over softpc) for far less than what a 
Intel-based machine would cost.
