Indeed :) as I said... it's available or it isn't. There's no
possibility of porting it, due to the completely locked down
environment. TRAMO is just one example, in a fairly specialised field.
Maybe (being windows software), it would run under WinE, though.
I'm sure I could run off a seriously-not-insignificant list of things
that would exclude a mac from my desktop, but it's irrelevant, it won't
solve CT's main problem - it won't run any of his important legacy DOS
stuff either without some *serious* messing around.
Linux or W7, with a dos emulator package (freeware again), probably
stands the best chance of solving this problem (I managed to get the
ancient version Protel Autotrax going under W7, so it's not that hard!)
