All work under "SoftWindows" Printing can be a problem however. Printing to a Mac LaserWriter is OK using softwindows if you have the necessary driver and the program runs inside windows. If it runs under dos, like Doctor X, HyperAquland etc. then you need to print to a "file" and read the file later on a Mac Word Processor. As far as the cabling is concerned, there are adapators, but I haven't used them. Instead, I upload to the IBM and then transfer the files and data. And yes, the Cockran software will also work this way. Hal Harold Gartner hgartner@ra*.or* CompuServe ID 71470,1423 6900 Via Alba Camarillo, California 805 482-9743
