[comp.sys.mac.misc] Soft PC

U40245@uicvm.uic.edu (Shawn T. Segur) (11/14/90)

Is anybody familiar with SOFT PC?  Is it worth getting a mac and
using Soft PC to get by in a semi mac/pc environment?
Exactly how fast would SOFT PC be on an Mac si?
How many IBM programs actually work?
How fast will these programs work?
Is there any conversion technique which would enable a person
to convert Mac WordPerfect to IBM WordPerfect effortlessly?

Please reply via email as well as posting re:

        In order to run certain investment software via Dow Jones, etc. I am
informed that most of the software is MS-DOS. Considering the fact that I own
a Mac IIsi w/5 Meg Ram, will SOFT PC do the trick?
        Anybody have any experience with SOFT PC and be willing to explain
its pros & cons? I have been unable to locate a review in either MacUser or
MacWorld. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Chris Del Grande
