I was under the impression there are no PPC emulators for Win32.  68K
sure, but PPC ?

The licenses for the various operating systems differ depending on what
you want to do with them and what you already have access to.  In the
case of Windows, you will need to purchse a license.  VMWare sells OS
packages that are optimized to work within the emulated PC.

With the Mac, the emulators require that you have acess to a licensed
ROM from an original Mac.  From memory, Mac allow you to use such a ROM
on the basis that it is not used at the same time as the original
machine it came from.  So turn off you're Mac before running the
emualtor.

Then there's th optuion of purchasing a Mac ROM, this avoids any chance
of you being done for piracy. :)

The MacOS is another item on your shopping list.  I now that apple used
to give away any operating system that was more than one version older
than the current release.  However, I haven't seen this since 7.6 was
available for download.

I haven't used VirtualPC lately, but if you have any further questions
about getting VMWare up and running, I'd be more than wiulling to give
you some help.

When you run VMWare, do you have to purchase the operating systems? For
example, I have XP Pro and I'd like to install IE5---do I need Win98 and
must I purchase it in addition to VMWare? Also, are there Mac
emulations, and if so, do you need to purchase the OS?

Thanks, Pat
