Great fun. Best mouse-interface I've used, but with that happy CLI-mode for "simple" programming. :-) > > I'm also interested in the Archimedes..

They (well, actually a company called COMSPEC) does the power conversion. The software itself appears to be designed internationally (the speller checker I have does include "American" spelling of words for most discrepencies). Nice stuff. (If you'd like more detailed info, let me know. I don't have the stuff with me right now...) > > Roger rre@ihlpn.ATT.COM
