[comp.unix.ultrix] PC emulator for RISC/Ultrix

fnddr@acad3.fai.alaska.edu (02/09/90)

We are setting up a development system using a DS3100.  One required program
is a cross-assembler/simulator that is only available on PCs.  Since the
system has to travel sometimes, having to lug around a PC just for one
application isn't good.  Our DEC rep says that SoftPC is available for
RISC/Ultrix.  I would like to hear from anyone using it on RISC or VAX to
get some idea of its performance and compatibility with current MS-DOS
applications.  The literature I've seen is very brief, and doesn't indicate
how fast the program is relative to a PC.  Sales literature claims aren't
know for their accuracy in any case.
Thanks in advance...
PS: Does comp.unix.ultrix surface via an internet redistribution or a bitnet
listserver?
