Of course, although I wouldn't call Linux/Unix OS "windows emulators" considering MS Windows is just a rip off of XWindows, odd how MS keeps getting away with that crap. I think the OS for Mac is simply called OS, but I think they are using OS2 now, or something like that. I just use MS Windows at home cuz everyone else does so it's really compatible with everything else (easy to get an ISP, games, apps, etc.), but I also have a comp running Red Hat Linux.

No, but we will be porting this over to the Atari 800 format later this year.

Sorry, no Mac version in the future for this product, as far as I can see.

Well I guess I better dust mine off and get ready play some EiA.
Will the game be on a tape drive or a cartridge?

What? Afraid to finish an EiA game all at one time?

does Mac have a Windows emulator?
Yes. Virtual PC (Connectix, now owned by Microsoft) allows you to run any Windows version (including XP) on your Mac. It puts Windows in a window.. where you can drag/drop items in between the two OS. The two have a simulated network, so if the Mac is online, so is Windows.

... which is how I'll probably play EiA...

I love it! I'm seeing the nuances of porting this code to a MAC and suffice to say, I probably won't be alive when it is done!

Thank you

Must be OS X.3, it is amazing to me how many people swear by MACs when trying to create an image that is secure is f#@@#$ impossible
